Thank you Ange for inviting me to the group. This is going to be a very nice push as I was not planning to read any Daphne de Maurier’s books any time soon. I’m looking forward to reading all the books with you and I love how you made a list of the books. This will allow me to get the books beforehand. But unfortunately I might not read the first but book with you because I just ordered it and it won’t be delivered in less than two weeks time :(

Hello there! I am so curious about this new project. I only read Rebecca and My Cousin Rachel. I have just downloaded My loving Spirit. I am starting this week, on Wednesday (I know I am late).

I’ve also only read Rebecca (several times- I love it!) and My Cousin Rachel, so I’m excited to read all her other works!

Not more books for my TBR!? but I'm in. I just might following at a crawling pace :-)

Thanks for the invite Ange.
I've recently read , and last week, I finished , so I was planning to read more soon.

Go on then, I'm in. Always wanted to read more of Du Maurier's books and this gives me the perfect excuse. :-)

Thank you, everyone, for joining! I'm so excited to be reading these with you :) Very excited for the project.

Sounds excellent! Thanks for the invite. I have lots on over the next 2 months but I'll definitely join in for Rebecca and maybe some others too. X

What a great project Ange! I will probably join in here and there rather than every month, but I'm excited to read more Daphne Du Maurier :)

Thanks for the invite! I've only read Rebecca, can't wait to read her other books! :)

Of course I'm in yet another book club, but I'm so excited for this one, only just started on Daphne Du Maurier and I'm completely in love! Hope I'll be able to follow along. Thank you Ange :)

I'm looking forward to reading along with other Du Maurier fans!

I am exactly reading Loving Spirit so I am in!

Just requested July's book through ILL since my library doesn't have it. Thanks for being all organized with a schedule and everything.

My copy of The Loving Spirit came much later than I anticipated so I'll be reading it in July right before I'll never be young again.

Thanks for the invitation. Due to some unavoidable circumstances, I missed the group reading up to now. But I'm looking forward to read Rebecca on October.

Hi!

Thank you and greetings from Barcelona!

Hi Alexandra,

Happy to hear that you will be joining us in October for Rebecca. We each read it at our own pace over the month and then discuss it on a chat I create here on this group.

Ange :)

Buddy reading is a new term for me

hi! I'm new to the group. I've only read Rebecca & My Cousin Rachel. i'll be jumping into the group reads next month, November. yay! I gotta remember that hashtag.

I'm so behind! I have but have not read Julius, halfway through Jamaica Inn and just picked up Rebecca from the library. Hoping to catch up in the school holidays!

I borrowed Frenchman's creek from the library so I'm ready to go whenever.

I think I will start this tomorrow, Thursday.

I have been meaning to read Frenchman’s Creek for a while. I held on it to read it with you peeps.

It's my third novel from her and fifth book (I've read one of her short story collections).

I got Hungry Hill today so I’m ready for January.

are we still reading my cousin rachel in april?

I hope we're indeed reading My Cousin Rachel! I just found this group and I would love to join in, starting in April.

Ange said on her YouTube channel that she has postponed this read-along for a while.Not sure when she's starting it back up
