This week, once again, I have to thank the yalsa-bk listserv. While attempting to come up with more than a handful of books involving luck (good or bad) and Ireland, I turned to that trusty librarian source. They didn't fail. I have been very loose in my inclusion criteria for Irish or luck books, as I'm sure you can tell. However, in honor of St. Patrick's Day this week, here they are all mixed in together:
