Goodreads Ireland discussion

Hi Everyone,

I just stumbled across this group a few minutes ago and I'm delighted to find it. I'm a Canadian who lives in Northern Ireland. I love reading about Ireland - especially historical fiction. I read a couple really good historical fictions recently by Irish authors: The Devil To Pay by Hugh Ryan Fitzgerald and Magdeburg by Heather Richardson. The former is set in Ireland.

I also write fiction and my historical fiction novel is set in Ireland. Short stories that I write are also often set here.

I look forward to finding out what everyone else is reading at the moment.

Hi, Dianne. We have a 'What are You Currently Reading' thread that's ongoing. A lot of members constantly update whenever they start a new book, so that's a good place to start. We also have July and quarterly Irish read nominations running at the moment. You can vote for your favourites, now.

http://www.goodreads.com/poll/list/49... 1 and 2 are both still active.

Hi Diane:
I'm new as well. I also write historical fiction but mixed with some fantasy.
Best of luck in your writing.

Good to see others who are also historical fiction fans and writers on here - nice to meet you!

Hi Diane

Welocme and good luck with your writing. Have you read The Year of the French by Thomas Flanagan? Excellent historical novel about Ireland.

No, I haven't read it yet - I have a very long tbr list....I'll have to add it.
