Hey I was just looking around on here and check out this series & tell me if this looks like something you’d like to readIt’s “A Rip Through Time”
Hey, never heard of it, but we can try it out :)
Look it up and tell me if you guys would be interested it’s almost like a weird outlander
This story is already starting off strong
I stopped reading the Outlander series after book 3 or 4 I think.
I will start the second Veronica book today ;)
Ya.. I haven’t even read it but I watched the show and I love it 🥰 This book is already off to a great start!!
For me its one of those rare times I felt the show was better and it felt less long hahaha...I started, red the first 3 chapters and I'm def intrigued :) Also, just love the banter between her and Stoker.
I'll be starting tomorrow!! I'm excited!!
Sounds good, Bella! I'm not far in at all :)
Hahahaha me too!!! I really like how the author is establishing a strong friendship between the two, pretty sure Bella said that last book and I couldn’t agree more!
Only read chapter 4 last night, so I'm not that far ahead.
yes, Courtney, I agree!! :) I'll catch up today! also, I just received a "skip-the-line" copy of Kristin Hannahs new book, The Women! I'm only going to have it for the next week or so :) I know we just started this one, but not sure if you guys had your copies already and were waiting for me to get mine lol
actually, the hold went away lol but my library acquired more copies so I should have mine in about 3 weeks :) false alarm lol
I have The Women on my shelves. I signed up to read it for UNO this month for the red card as I thought you already have the book. So would need to pick it up in March. Hopefully it works for you guys too :)
Ya I can get it whenever your gonna have yours Bella!! I’m excited to read the women I heard it’s a good one!!
I'm on chapter 5. It's so sweet that Stoker was trying to convince her to not get involved with her "family's" drama but I do feel for her :/ do you think she does only want to help as a way to tell them to "go to the devil" as stoker put it?
I think that she wants to help and she is also curious haha. I did like Lady Wellie as well.
yeah, sounds about right for Veronica lol. Yes, she's funny lol
Hahaha go to the devil! I enjoy their banter as well !!! Louise kinda didn’t give Veronica a choice in the matter really and deep down I think Veronica wants to know her family even a little bit
Yeah, true, probably right, Courtney! :) I'm curious about the mystery, they only have 1 week to solve it, so not long.
yeah that's true!! she put his life in her hands pretty much.. I know!! plus they have to keep working at the museum or whatever it's called lol
I doubt they will be doing much working on their actual "job" when they start digging deeper. I will be doing some more reading tonight I think :)
Yes she did poor miles is just giving up which makes me think it’s someone he doesn’t think justice can touch
I think you are right in that assumption, Courtney!
I made it to about Chapter 10! I'll be reading a bit more today :) POTENTIAL SPOILER: I thought it was crazy that even his own wife is convinced he did it! I also think it's sad that she's resigned to the idea that her husband has all these mistresses :/ I guess that's how it was back then, especially with the elite
btw - I was able to get The Women! so I'll be starting that soon :) Courtney, did you say you had it as well?
I'm at chapter 10 too :) I know...I found that a bit weird, but yes back then, it was more common.
Also that Emma woman got a bit nervous when she found out that they were investigating.
Cool, I can start The Women anytime too, just let me know ;)
I got my copy yesterday for the women so I’m ready after this one too! And yes cheating back then was almost accepted but now a days it’s everywhere too! My bf and I watch tv or movies and it’s literally every single show or movie someone is cheating but now it’s also women! It makes me so mad that they are normalizing it
In a way, at least back then when it was out in the open and you knew what to expect. Nowadays its behind your back. I do hate cheating.
Let me know when you guys want to start The Women ;)
Exactly and communication is way better between sexes now so it’s really some BSWere you guys trying to do both books at the same time?
Whatever works...not sure if Bella needs to return it soon. I have it on my shelves, so no rush to start it after I finish this one :)
Chapter 12 made me chuckle...key between breasts :)))))))
lol I know stoker is so funny with that stuff haha I wish he would’ve went and got it and called her bluff! They are def a slow burn 🔥
Apparently this is one of those series that get better with time! I checked into it and people seem to really love them too!
Lol...me too, it would have been something to see her reaction if he went for it.Yeah, I saw a lot of reviews about the series and people just love Veronica and Stoker. Me too haha
Same! I can’t wait to read them all! I almost lost my book today I guess I put it on top of my car and rode off - well when I went to go find it today it was gone so I started panicking naturally…. Fast forward a few hours my bf and I were leaving the house and my neighbor was walking his dog with my book in his hand! Thank god my bf noticed it because I sure didn’t!!
Oups, it happens...glad you found it. Good thing your bf saw it and that your neighbour picked it up, that's for sure.
I know because I rode around looking for in on the ground before he got home!! He has hawk eyes 😂
Lucky :)) My eyes are getting worse I think
