2013 Regency Romance Reading Challenge

My name is Leya (better known as Wandeca) and I'm an addict.  I'm addicted to reading challenges!  Can't you tell?  This year one of my resolutions is to finish anything a start, that includes books, craft projects, and reading challenges!

I saw this challenge over at Aneca's World, and I couldn't resist.  I'm a sucker for a good regency novel, and if it's a romance I'm a goner...

The 2013 Regency Romance Reading Challenge is being hosted by Austenprose.  Here are some details of the reading challenge (taken from Austenprose):

We are very pleased to announce the Regency Romance Reading Challenge 2013 featuring the very talented author Candice Hern. If you are unfamiliar with Candice, I am excited to introduce her to you. She writes witty and romantic traditional Regency romance novels with endearing heroines and swoon-worthy heroes highlighted by incredible historical accuracy. If you enjoyed any of Georgette Heyer’s great romance novels or laughed along with Lauren Willig’s characters in the Pink Carnation series, I highly recommend joining in the challenge—affording you the perfect opportunity to discover Ms. Hern’s great novels and short stories along with other Janeites, historical fiction and Regency romance lovers. 

We will be reading and reviewing one title a month and posting on the third Wednesday through September.  Here is our schedule:
