The Veronica Speedwell series

[Bella]

they are!
kinda glad that Caroline won't have any claim to the money

[Corina]

Agree that Stoker and Veronica are meant for each other :) Caroline is trully an evil woman. Sounds good about A fate inked in blood...I have mine, so just let me know. ;)

[Courtney]

Ok I’ll get mine either tonight or tomorrow for sure!

[Corina]

Perfect ;)

[Corina]

Will create a new thread ;)

[Courtney]

Ok! I’m gonna get mine tomorrow guys is that cool?

[Corina]

Sound good to me, haven't started yet.

[Corina]

Hey guys, sorry, I started book 4, but only read about 50 pages so far. No rush :)

[Courtney]

I just picked mine up from the library so I’ll start today

[Corina]

Oh Stoker, he is jelous....I actually like Tiberius lol.

[Courtney]

I’m only in the beginning but he def did not like the idea of her going out of town with lady Cordelia and not him lmao

[Corina]

He is jealous...love it lol

[Courtney]

Poor stoker feels left out

[Corina]

Sorry guys, finished. Bella, hope you are well :)

[Courtney]

I knew you were gonna be done faster than we are!!!

I like this one 👻 🧜‍♀️ 🏝️

[Corina]

After UNO I need to slow down on my reading watch some TV lol.
I did like this one. Are they on the island yet?

[Courtney]

Yes

[Bella]

hey guys! sorry I've been quiet lately! i got really busy with work and haven't been able to listen to audiobooks while working :/

[Bella]

I'll catch up on this Veronica Speedwell but also ready to start any other you guys had on your list :)

[Corina]

Hey Bella, no worries, glad you are all good.
No rush to start anything else. I'm happy to wait until you guys finish this one and we can decide what to pick up next. Did you end up finishing A fate inked in blood or was it a dnf for you too?

[Courtney]

Hey Bella I figured you were busy with work and stuff 🩷 hope all is well



And yes Corina I’m on the island, seeing ghosts and what not haha

[Corina]

hahaha...ghosts indeed
The sister has a massive crush on Stoker :)

[Bella]

cool, i'll get started!!
I had to return it back to my library! i was enjoying it but I could see what you guys meant about not caring about the characters lol. I'm going to wait til the audiobook is available to continue! which might be in about 4 weeks i think

[Bella]

thanks guys!! i hope all is well with you both too :))

[Corina]

I regret buying A fate inked in blood, I will take to the op shop lol. Audiobook would probably be better if you want to know how it ends.

[Corina]

All is well, thanks. Back at work now, second week already, feels like I was never away lol

[Corina]

Also, childcare is bloody expensive hahaha

[Bella]

yeah, I wasn't sure if I would like it which is why I went hunting for it at my local libraries! hopefully the audiobook will help me finish it faster haha

[Bella]

omg! that must be nice!! my coworkers wife is having a baby and he's taking 3 months (which is not typ. for men in the states I think! a few of my other male coworkers only took about 2 weeks of paternity leave) and he was telling us that he was nervous to take so long because of how busy we are and we were like, "it's always going to be busy! in 10 years you won't remember the project, but you will remember being at home with your wife and your first baby!" and he was like, "you're right, I'm gonna do it!" so he's taking the full 3 months!

[Corina]

Dont need to force yourself though...I only did it because I bought it lol

[Bella]

oh noooo I bet!! I'm hoping My mom's retired by the time I start having kids so hopefully she can babysit lol, who knows if she'd want to!

[Corina]

you're right...its not that common for the dads to take as much leave, but good on him for doing it

[Corina]

Haha...my mum is retired too, but she is on the other side of the world so not very practical lol

[Corina]

I bet your mum will want to help when you'll have kids of your own

[Bella]

oh yeah that's true! :') would be hard to have her babysit lol.
I think she would too!

[Bella]

Stoker is so jealous, why did he HAVE to go on the trip with Veronica and his brother lol. just to be sulking and grumpy haha

[Courtney]

I was meaning to ask you about work Corina, hope all is well. Like Bella touched up on men getting any leave at all is new and I’ve never heard of a company giving three months to a man!! That means you work for a good place Bella 🩷

[Corina]

Yeah, thanks, all is well with work, but its always a bit scary to leave your kids in someone else's care, especially a baby, even if you know the person.

[Corina]

Grumpy Stoker makes me laugh. TBH I like Tiberius lol. Something quite big happens towards the end of this one...that's all I'm saying hahaha

[Courtney]

Omg she’s gonna be with Tiberius???? 😮 🤯

There both gonna fight over her?

[Corina]

Hahaha...I don't think Tiberius would say no lol

[Courtney]

Hey you guys did we ever decide what we wanted to read after this last Veronica one?

[Corina]

Don't think so :)

[Corina]

My copy of The frozen river got lost in transit so they are resending it...

[Courtney]

Oh noooo! Wtf 😳

[Corina]

Yup...annoying. I get most of my books from Australia, so sometimes it happens.

[Courtney]

Well at least it is still coming and it’s giving us time to finish lol

I’m almost done with this one and I hate how Veronica is dead set on never getting married. Won’t even consider it (at this point in the book) 📕

[Corina]

Lol...no rush. I did finally get to the library to return the book and picked up book 5 cause it was available. I have it for 4 weeks, so plenty of time for us to get to it.
I mean they can still be together without being married, they are both pretty unconventional for their time lol.

[Courtney]

Oh I know it’s just when you meet the right person how can you say never? But I like how they are definitely playing with each other a lot more in this one… def dancing around the intimacy

[Corina]

True...who knows if they change their minds by the end of it.
Wait for the end lol
