June Roses: Read and Discuss The White Queen and The Red Queen

[Sarahkka]

So it looks like several people are interested in The White Queen and The Red Queen by Philippa Gregory as possible books for discussion selections.
I am going to go ahead and declare June the month for all things War of the Roses and Red and White Queens!
That should give everyone lots of time to get a hold of copies of each.
If reading both in one month is too much, we can extend our timeline, too!

Post below if you're in!

me me me me!

I will download samples of both on my Nook tonight. I will be in (unless I find them truly dreadful, but I doubt it cuz I read the description and they sound great!)

I'm in! I'm gonna finish the book I'm reading now first (Sing you Home, by Jodi Picoult). I started it earlier and should be done in two/three days time.

I actually think I'm going to have to pass on this one, just started a full-time job and I need to adjust to that before I commit to this. But keep me posted, I might be ready for the next round! Happy reading all!

 

[Sarahkka]

Hmmm.
I am #8 on the holds list at the library.
Hope I get a copy by June!

I'll join in! I love Philippa Gregory's books! The White Queen comes first tho right?

 

[Sarahkka]

Yes, the White Queen is first.
I just picked up both copies from the library, so I may have to read them early and discuss through June. Or breakdown and actually buy them .....

I'm buying the White Queen now on Amazon...it's $8. I hate reading used books.

I have them both on my Kindle but I'm one of those people who doesn' like reading stuff I *have* to read.. So I'm enjoying reading other stuff for now I will read it though

Is that the new Jodi Piccault you are reading? I love her books

I've read the Red Queen but can't find the White Queen at a price I want to pay yet (I hate paying full price for books LOL)
