Goodness! Gremlins seem to have invaded Thursday's post and inserted a number of books I didn't actually read. Here is the real, truthful, accurate list. Let the snoring commence.

ETA: The damned gremlins forgot to change the headings back to March, too.

Finished in March:

1. Fantasy in Death by J. D. Robb
2. Meeting the Other Crowd: The Fairy Stories of Hidden Ireland by Eddie Lenihan and Carolyn Eve Green

Eddie Lenihan is one of the last seanchai, the old time storytellers of Ireland, and he's been collecting stories for decades, setting onto paper the fading light of the oral tradition. This book is full of the music of Ireland, that lyrical voice of Celtic storymakers and true fairy lore: sometimes dark and threatening, sometimes funny, always walking the line between the mystical and the hardtack reality of "back in them times." I'd recommend it to anyone who loves a good story and the testimony of real people about a forgotten way of living. I've loved reading it. For excerpts,
