*In General (No spoilers please!!!) This discussion section will allow for general discussion and questions about the buddy read to be posted without anyone fearing their book-reading experience will be spoiled. So, how does this whole thing work? This buddy read will be divided into top comments that you can reply to: I’m really excited to read this book, and even more excited to discuss it with all of you! I had to watch him a long time before I realized he was autistic, and I needed to do some research! I could not get that man out of my head, and I thought-if I can't, perhaps other people won't be able to either. How did I come up with Ian in particular? He simply walked into my head (whole family did), and was just himself. I did much research into Asperger's Syndrome, which I assure you was heartbreaking. It's hard enough to deal with it now what would it have been like in Victorian Britain, when psychology and psychiatry were just beginning to be explored? (psychology was referred to as a branch of philosophy).
Jennifer Ashley is a New York Times bestselling author who when asked why she chose to write a neurodivergent hero had this to say, "I've gotten several questions like this so I'll answer in one: I wrote Ian as having AS, mostly because I wondered how someone in a time when autism wasn't recognized would fare. Here’s a Goodreads link for back cover copy, purchase links, etc., in the interest of not copying-and-pasting it all and cluttering up this post too much, The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie Goodreads page as well as the Romance.io link for more information on tags and content warnings, The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie Romance io. We had some much fun with our last buddy read and hope this time around is a great success. It can be a really fun experience reading a book together and discussing your first impressions (or your impressions now if you are rereading the book) as you go along.
It is a group post where group members can discuss portions of the book as they progress in their reading progress. What is a Buddy Read you may ask? It is a book club post / group read in our sub r/HistoricalRomance. It’s finally here! r/HistoricalRomance is hosting a buddy read to discuss The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie by Jennifer Ashley! This thread is the place to swoon, to rant, and to chat with your fellow readers.
