Welcome to Leaping Leprechauns & Frolicking Fairies – The All Things Irish Blog Hop!
This hop is hosted by Gin’s Book Notes and Candace’s Book Blog, and is a celebration of all things Irish or Fairy-related. Today, Celtic myths are us!
I used to live in Chicago, and every St. Patrick’s Day the city dyes the Chicago River green! This year, the “greening of the river” happened on Saturday, March 15, so that the town could get started on their celebrating early.
It just feels wrong that St. Patrick’s Day is a Monday this year–this is a holiday that seems almost designed to be a weekend!
But maybe by the actual day you’ll be all celebrated out, and ready to curl up with a good book or two. Here’s where the hop comes in.
I’m giving away a $10 Gift Card from either Amazon or B&N, or for international hoppers, a book from Book Depository up to $10. The winner will be able to make their own little celebration. To enter my hop, just fill out the rafflecopter and tell us your favorite story about the Fae Folk or based on Celtic mythology.
Emma Bull’s War for the Oaks is still one of my favorites. Tell us yours!
For more chances to win more prizes, just visit the other stops on the hop!

I’ve never read any books with Celtic myths or legends.
I can’t say I’ve read any recently but always loved folklore and books with elves and fairies when I was a kid. October Daye looks like a good series to check out.
I’ve never seen a green river in person and want to do that, too!

The Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning is probably my favorite that include Irish lore.
Wicked Lovely
I love Anne Elisabeth Stengl’s books about the fae.
I don’t have a favorite because I haven’t read much with Celtic myths or fae folk.
I haven’t read any, but I think it would be interesting to read one if it was recommended to me!
I love the October Daye and Fever series.

My favorite is Karen Marie Moning’s Fever serie.
My favourite is the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer which is about Fae Folk and is set in Ireland
Thanks so much for participating in the hop and for the great giveaway. I loved Written in Red by Anne Bishop. It has elementals in it and magical horses so I think it qualifies. 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway.
A Midsummer night’s Dream
I have really enjoyed the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs and cannot wait to read her new release 🙂 Thank you for participating in this fun hop.
Karen Moning’s Fever series
I thought Troll or Derby by Red Tash was very fun. The fairies are different (more evil) than the fairies I write about. But I really enjoyed it.
I can’t think of one of the top of my head.
I don’t really have one.
I don’t think I’ve read any celtic or fae books.
I haven’t read as many fae books as I should, so my favorite is the Iron Fae series
I’ve enjoyed several of the ones mentioned above and I also like the Shadow Reader series by Sandy Williams.
I’m pretty sure I’ve read some in the past, but I don’t remember. No favourites, obviously. ^^; A friend has been bugging me to read Written in Red by Anne Bishop, and it’s pretty high up my TBR.
Thank you for the giveaway.
Hmm. Probably the Holly Black modern faerie tales. Also Arthurian mythology.
