  It is my pleasure to reprise my newest theme, for its third year:  Celtic Coasts 2018! I love Irish and Scottish places, authors, lore, and have been learning more about Wales.  I am first to give Welsh-related literature somewhere … Continue reading →

I wonder why original hostess, Carrie, deleted reviews and comments collected for her long-running theme?  I loved being a part of it twice.  I hoped someone new would take the reins and spotted the new post today!  May we all enjoy … Continue reading →

I surpassed the Irish book challenge!

Posted on November 30, 2012 by RIEDEL Fascination

  I was drawn to this circle for my heritage but thought it one of the trickiest.  I’ve been building an extremely well-varied collection of books all my life, largely unopened.  My personal rule for these special events is to use my … Continue reading →
