Is anyone interested in a buddy read of a historical romance? I'd read anything that is available in ebook form for $5.00 or less.

I'd be particularly interested in Courtney Milan's The Duchess War, but could be persuaded to read something else.

I'm definitely interested! I also have The Duchess War on my wishlist so I'm good with that :)

I'm in. I don't generally read this genre, but am curious.

I want to join! The Governess Affair didn't impress me much but I'm hoping for more from a full length book.

Finally located my review and it looks like I loved it, so I'm definitely in for a buddy read. Apparently I'm a big fan of Minnie.

LOL. That's when you know you read too much! Having to read your own reviews to find out what you thought of a book...

I don't know if I will join in reading this book, but I just have to say how stoked I am that we have discussion groups! I never thought they would be implemented this quickly.

And I especially loved it when I saw a group like this. Regencies are my favorite type of book and there wasn't an active group like this on GRs that I ever found.

I'm in I think! At least I'm fairly sure I have this particular book on my ereader!

I have never heard of this concept before. What is a buddy read? I am assuming its just everyone reads it on a specific period of time and chats about it?

I read Duchess War a while back, but it's a good one :)

Yes, that's basically what a buddy read is.

If anyone wants to read the prequel 'The Governess Affair', it's not that long and it's free on Amazon.
