Neptune Rising’s Comments (group member since Apr 20, 2014)

Neptune Rising’s comments from the Veronica Mars Book Club group.

I had NOT thought of that! Veronica's sense of justice and personal accountability is so strong, that definitely would have been hard for her to handle.

Ch 29 PP: What were your reactions when Veronica found the bloodstain????

Ch 29 PP: The Lake Creek Motel had one check in the morning Hayley disappeared, at 4:15am.

Our Veronica is a brave brave woman. I was scared for her.

Deborah wrote: "I'm not surprised Veronica could investigate the Motel by herself, but I would be SO freaked out. PIs see some crazy stuff, but I don't think they are generally looking for possible bodies."

Great point! We laugh so much in VM the crying can sometimes seem like whiplash, and a great reminder this is noir. And thats why we LoVe it right?

Deborah wrote: "I sometimes forget that VM is noir, so I was surprised at first that Hayley didn't make it to the end."

Ch 29 PP: Veronica investigates the Lake Creek Motel. The Amelia flashbacks start, and my stomach sinks.

Things are NOT looking good for Chad. He seemed like a jerk anyway right?

Ch 29 Plot Point: Veronica realizes that while Chad could not have gotten from Stanford to Neptune to kill Hayley and back in time for class, he COULD have gotten to Bakersfield...

Let's kick off our discussion of The Thousand Dollar Tan Line, chapters 29-34! Things are starting to get really interesting!

Please feel free to continue posting in this all and all the topic discussions. The Neptune Rising admins will review all the posted feedback.
Thanks!

All very good points! I am glad that Good Reads has those functions =)

I just want to thank everyone again in participating in this trial. It might seem silly to have a trial with so few sessions of the #VMBookClub left, but we already know we are getting another Veronica Mars book. And who knows how many more! Not to mention there might be other Veronica Mars related books in the future (I know there is a philosophy book expected). On this platform marshmallows could also discus Neptune Noir, even though it has been available for quite some time.
We are trying to find what works best long term. So thank you all for your participation and feedback! It really helps!

Em, that is the exact reason why for this trial run I had split the chapters. I thought it would allow people to keep on track even when others move on without getting lost. If we decide to stay on the Good Reads platform maybe we could do all 7 chapters in one topic post and see how we like it and revisit the individual chapter posts versus one post topic at the end?

Grace if we discussed all 7 chapter in one topic posting would this solve that problem?

Grace wrote: "I prefer Twitter as I like the speed of the responses. I don't like refreshing and having to go back and see when a new chapter discussion was ready."

EXCELLENT!! This sounds like a must marshmallows! Thank you Em!

Good point! Would it be helpful if we posted which chapter the plot point was from, and all 7 chapters under on topic?

For example:
Ch 22 Plot Point: Veronica meets with the Dewalt and Scott families to listen to the ransom demands.

Susan wrote: "I think I might like them under one topic just so we can continue to add our thoughts on previous subjects as they occur to us."

Does anyone think it would run smoother on Good Reads if the moderator posted the enter 7 chapters under one topic? Or do you like it split up by chapter?

The no 140 character limit is definitely a plus!

a Good Reads vs Twitter topic has been posted =)

This is the point where I could not tear my eyes away from the book! Things were really heating up!
