Amanda: Holly and I are excited to say we’re participating in Pink for All Seasons along with Ashley at the Bubblebath Reader. What is Pink for All Seasons you ask? Maybe I haven’t book pushed The Secret History of the Pink Carnation on you yet and for that I apologize! I love this series and the happy escape to the past that they always give to me.
Holly: So, The Secret History of the Pink Carnation is the first of twelve books in the Pink series. #12 will be released in 2015, so Pink for All Seasons is a year-long read-along of the whole series, one book per month. I had actually only read #1 before, so I’m jumping into uncharted territory here. Amanda of course, is doing a re-read.
Amanda: Starting with #1, the adventure is off! Spies abound throughout Europe and abroad, romances flourish and parasols are used as fearsome weapons. And Eloise-oh I am going to miss her! Though I’m really sad to know that this series is coming to an end next year I know its probably time. I hate to see a series I love drag on and become painful to read (I’m looking at you Sookie Stackhouse) Thankfully Lauren Willig is writing other great historical romances to keep me happy.
Holly: And yeah, I decided to jump right into this read-along – so much so, that I read the first three Pink books in September. I’m totally digging them!
Amanda: We are going to have a stop on the tour next May with the Garden Intrigue (#9) but we’re definitely going to be reading along in the meantime. We hope you join in and love these books too! There’s even going to be a giveaway every month with a signed copy so keep an eye out for those! Amazingly, I won the first giveaway so I now have 2 signed Lauren Willig books! #booknerdheaven Please join in reading with us along the way! I hope someone else I know wins another signed book!
A great friend of mine told me I have to read these! And ever since they keep popping up all over the place. The Universe is trying to tell me something!
Definitely signs you should read these! They’re really fun books.
