So, what are some of your favorite novels that are set in Ireland? Let me know in the comments below!
The cover of Deception's Princess reminds me of Merida from Brave. I have that on my TBR list too. I loved PS, I Love You and hope you get to read it soon! I liked Circle of Friends (loved the movie as a teen) and thought Angela's Ashes was excellent. I liked Brooklyn though I got annoyed with her. I'm going to be watching the movie soon and hopefully I will like that better.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day! I hope to get to visit Ireland someday. I was looking at a really nice travel book of pretty places to visit in Ireland yesterday and armchair traveling :)
Me too, Christina! I love the movie Brave...probably one of my favorite Disney "princesses." You must watch the Brooklyn movie. It's one of those movies that actually interpreted the book a bit better than I expected. They made some changes, which I actually approve! You'll love it!
DeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day to you as well. I hope your mom is feeling better. I hope you get to visit Ireland some day. It's the best. Thanks for dropping by!
PS I LOVE YOU!!! I haven't read the book but I loved the movie. I was a sobbing, snotty mess the entire way through. I have little doubt I'd be the same way with the book:)
ReplyDelete*wanders off to watch movie again*
Happy St. Patrick's Day Christina!
I know! The movie is so good. Gerard Butler. :) I really want to read the book now. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you as well, Jenny. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteNice post. I'm adding some to my tbr pile. Happy St Patty's ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got some recommendations. Thanks so much for visiting and Happy St. Patrick's Day to you as well.
DeleteStill have yet to read my copy of Brooklyn. I must check out the rest of the books on your list, though.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can read Brooklyn soon. It's a fantastic book and surprisingly, the movie is even better! Thanks for visiting, Joy!
DeleteChasing River by K.A. Tucker
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion, Christy. I will check that one out.
DeleteI love this post!! :) I asore Maeve Binchy's older books, especially Circle of Friends, Evening Class, and the Glass Lake. I just saw the movie Brooklyn and now want to read the book!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Becky! I have only read one of Binchy's novels, but I really want to read more. Brooklyn is such a good book, but surprisingly, the movie made some changes that actually work a bit better I think. Can't wait to hear your thoughts! Thanks for visiting.
