Ireland Challenge 2011


I hadn't planned to join this challenge, but since I am reading How the Irish Saved Civilization by Cahill in February, I decided it should be easy to read another book for the challenge and meet the two book requirement. For all the details head to Books and Movies.

The challenge runs from January 1, 2011 to November 30, 2011

I am going to choose Shamrock level: 2 books.

1.
2.
