Theresa’s comments from the Fun n' Books group.

I have never been a mod, so I'm not quite sure how big of a time commitment it would be. Do you know what you're looking to do with the group? I could definitely help set up and monitor challenges or readathons, but I don't know how useful I would be in terms of book of the month discussions. I would definitely be interested though in figuring all of that out with you!

I haven't read that one yet, but it looks very interesting! The last one I read (also the last book I actually finished) was Red, White & Royal Blue. At first I was on the fence, but that changed rather quickly.

The first series I really remember reading is Twilight. I remember desperately waiting for the next book to come out and ultimately feeling so let down by the last book. Harry Potter was the second series, and I’ve definitely read that more times than I can count.

As for recommendations on series I definitely would say Stalking Jack the Ripper. It has that historical fiction/mystery feel that I absolutely love. I am also so weak when it comes to slow burn romances.

Omg this is so hard to decide lol

Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco (series)
Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom duology by Leigh Bardugo
Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella - I know this is drastically different from what I usually read but it was just so fun and enjoyable lol

Have you tried His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman? I’m reading it now and it’s brilliant.

Where oh where do I begin?

My first book crush was Fred Weasley from Harry Potter. I’ve developed a very soft spot for Gilbert Blithe from Anne of Green Gables. Matthias from Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom (ohh mama) and Thomas Cresswell from Stalking Jack the Ripper are the most recent. Mostly at this point just Thomas. I’m impatiently waiting for my copies of Escaping from Houdini and Capturing the Devil to come in two weeks. I highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a book boyfriend lol

My name is Theresa and here are my five facts:

1. I am a mama to a fluffball named Arya (she’s a hound mix and extremely mischievous).
2. I am currently addicted to mystery and historical fiction books so slowly working my way through the Gaslight Mystery series.
3. I love jigsaw puzzles, the more pieces the better. I usually listen to audiobooks while I do them.
4. Coloring books are my therapy.
5. I have severe social anxiety, so I will be as active as my mental health allows!
