mina’s comments from the The Procrastinators Book Club group.

No worries. I'm wasn't reading it every day, and plus I started the TOG books too, but since I'm not doing anything at work I'm reading a bit.

Currently I'm on Time, 3rd cap , Parisa. If I don't forget I'll write some thoughts when I'm at home.

Space
Nico - We thought there's going to be something between Libby and Nico... but what are the thoughts on Nico and Gideon? They are friends but reading the chapter where Gideon and he meet after G's mother has visited Nico... just gives me a bit more vibes.

Parisa - Some mysteries are solved. Now we know what happened in the battle with Callum. And to be honest, I'm not surprised.

I don't really have anything to add. It's "interesting" switching between books, every time a chapter starts I have to check the reading plan because I'm not sure what's next to be read.

So far, I think I'm more interested in Chaol's part of the story, also Lorcan and Elide is a bit intersting.. of course I'm interested in Manon, I remember liking reading about her.

Yes, Yrene is in one of the Assassin's Blade stories.
I also looked up who Lorcan is because you said his name sounds familiar but.... and that's how I spoiled myself something but eh, nothing major. He's one of Maeve's warrior's or whatever, like Rowan was i guess.

I'm gonna try and join this BR. I don't even remember when I started the series, but this is where I stopped with reading, hopefully this buddy read is going to make me read it and finish it.

EOS 1-5 chapters
After I updated the read pages, because I started reading this book in 2022 *mind blown*, I saw that this is pretty much how far I got then. I don't remember most of the things that happened in the previous books, but I'm not planning on rereading, I'm even feeling lazy to find a recap, or maybe just read your discussions on the previous books.

So since I'm not going to do any of the things, I have to ask who is Evangeline? The name doesn't spark anything.

TOD chapter 1
Another question recap... what happened to Chaol so that he's now in a wheel chair?

Hmmmm, I haven't thought about the possibility of the brother being someone before Sloan. That's possible. I was just thinking it has to be someone in the period they met because we didn't see much of their past.. but then again we didn't see much of their private lives as we read... like, what does Sloan do, what's her job? It was dropped out of the blue that she works, and she travels for the job but what is it.. I have no idea. Maybe it was mentioned once.

Yeah, at least we got surprised by David, although the surprise was because there were no real hints about a murderer going after them or whatever.. but ok, we'll take it.

18-end

* 😂 are you kidding me? So 3 months have passed since they've been together where they admitted to each other that they don't just like each other.. but now at the diner she has the realization it not just "more than like"

* His way of getting her out of the restaurant... ouch. he could've been a tad less mean.

* David.. that one was really unexpected. And I must say I reeeeally LOVE it how the brother couldn't find out anything about him in the previous months but boom now, in those 12 blocks she was running, he got a bunch of info.

*I can't say I'm disappointed, but I also can't say this was great. It started interesting but, it needed much more for it to keep my interest. I do have to say that I'm a little intrigued on how things will go on; the separate stories, and the new killer that's in the game. Whose brother do you think it is? At first I was oh damn, there a bunch of killed killers, and then as I was typing my thoughts I thought David, it has to be David... but... Sloane killed David.
And the more I think of it... he only killed the first guy, right? The wall guy. Because after that it has always been Sloan to finish the job.

I was pretty sure I posted a comment and not just thought about doing it.
I'm going to be a bit behind. I jumped on a buddy read and the book is easy and a fast read so I'm planning on finishing it now so that I can just read Atlas after that.

12-17

Yeah, I'm not expecting development anymore.

*Why didn't she just tell him that the killer has cameras set up? That's a pretty big thing to just not share... although after finishing the chapter I see that it wasn't of any importance.

* Well.. at least they got to it

Wasn't planning on reading and definitely wasn't planning if I do read to pick something up I haven't seen or heard off, but catching Sophie's comment that this might be comedic, and a serial killer rom-com... I was intrigued, so here I am.

1-11
The opening line "Being a serial killer who kills serial killers is a great hobby…" just *chef's kiss*
It's easy to read/listen to, and going in with low expectations, like even though it's about serial killers it's chill, made me like the first chapter. If I thought this was supposed to be a serious book I probably would've been ?? what the hell, you just met someone and poof tell them not only your name, but that you are a serial killer too and your "work name".

I didn't comment as I read the chapters so I'm just gonna spill things now.
* I expected more development on...anything to be honest. We don't know much about the characters, or how they got to be what they are. I mean we did get a glimpse into Sloan, but not into Rowan, again I think that's too little for what, half a book, that we already read.
* The only thing that the book is putting effort and accent is their relationship which ... cute. But kinda feel weird that already 2 years passed since we started reading the book and nothing *much* has happened with them.
* Found the second annual killing more fun than the first one, although the first one had a big importance for their relationship.

This has been on my tbr so long that I don't even remember the synopsis.. I'm just hoping that I'll continue reading it now that I started it.

So, I haven't gotten that far into Libby's chapter when I noticed that my audiobook and ebook are not the same.. ??? In the audiobook there's the part about her parents in the audience and her boyfriend but in the book I don't have that only her and Nico bickering. I agree with you, if they don't end up together I don't know what... but those are the vibes.

Finished the first part, and yeah there's not much to say since we are just getting to know our characters. It has something that I can't put into words that makes me think I'll like the book.

@Sarah
Sorry, haven't had time to make the threads, that's why the newsletter isn't sent out yet. Hopefully I'll finish all of it later.

Do you maybe know how many chapters How to solve has?
