This is a challenge I have written to encourage myself to read more books by Irish authors.  Please join in if you want to - I would love more recommendations :)

For this challenge, an author will be considered Irish if:
1.  They were born in Ireland
and/or
2.  They have lived a large proportion of their life in Ireland.
and/or
3.  They identify as Irish.

Ireland will be the whole Island of Ireland and so will include the countries politically named Ireland (Rep of) and Northern Ireland.

The book does not need to be set in Ireland unless it says so in the prompt!
