The Veronica Speedwell series

[Corina]

And a few other contemporary romance and some romantasy :)

[Courtney]

I agree I wasn’t really too into this particular investigation but I loved the ending.

Excelsior! ☺️

[Corina]

Totally agree, Courtney :)

[Bella]

I enjoyed this one! not as much as the last one though :) but I was so happy to see Stoker and Veronica ending up together at the end!!!

[Bella]

I was able to borrow Honey and Spice! but I'm also down for anything else :)

[Corina]

Exactly that, Bella! I liked the prince, he was kind of sweet. And obviously I was happy Veronica and Stoker being together.

[Corina]

I'm happy with any other idea too. I just noticed Honey and Spice when I had a quick look at my kindle list :)

[Courtney]

Ok let me see if I can snag it

[Courtney]

I think I got it for my kindle :)

[Corina]

Whichever works :)

[Bella]

yess the prince was so sweet! I thought it was cool that the author tried to make his character a little like how he was "rumored" to be in real life :)
sounds good!!

[Rebecca]

just starting the 4th book :)

[Courtney]

Oh they’re so good aren’t they???

[Corina]

Haven't picked up the next one yet as it wasn't available at the library.
Are we still reading anything else before that one?

[Courtney]

I don’t have access to honey and spice and I’m still waiting for the next one in the series too. What’s next on our agenda lol

[Corina]

We can have a look at our list or if you have anything else in mind or a specific genre?

[Corina]

Sorry, with our list, I highlighted all the books I have if we want to go with any of those. I'm open to any suggestions :) I think my copy of The Frozen River is finally on its way lol

[Courtney]

Yay! Okay I’m gonna look here in a min

[Corina]

I just noticed The Frozen River is a group read for June I think, so won't be able to creat a buddy read thread for that. I'm happy with any other ideas you guys have though ;)

[Bella]

here are the books I can read right now:
- The Hurricane Wars
- In The Dream House
- Beasts of a Little Land
- The One Hundred Years of...
- Gods of Jade and Shadow
- The Adventures of Amina...

out of those, the ones by genre I'm leaning more towards are below :)

Thriller: In The Dream House

Fantasy: Gods of Jade...

Historical Fiction: The One Hundred Years of...

[Corina]

Thanks, Bella! I'm happy with any of those. Though I believe In The Dream House is not a thriller, its a sort of memoir about an abusive queer relationship.

[Bella]

ohh okay I see! still seems interesting :)
Courtney, any preferences?

[Courtney]

Do you guys wanna do hurricane wars

[Courtney]

I have to still buy it I need a day lol but it’s really up to you guys whatever you wanna do I’ll go grab it

[Bella]

yeah! It should be available to me at the library within the next couple of days I think :)

[Corina]

All good, we can do Hurricane Wars :) Just let me know when you want to start ;)

[Courtney]

Ok 👍

[Bella]

I was finally able to borrow Hurricane Wars! I can start whenever now :)

[Corina]

Cool, all good on my end. How about you, Courtney?

[Courtney]

I pick mine up in the morning! ;)

[Corina]

Do you want to start tomorrow? :)

[Courtney]

Sounds good 👍

[Bella]

i started a new thread!

[Courtney]

Hey :) starting tonight!

[Corina]

Sounds good to me. I have the audiobook for this one.

[Courtney]

Ok :) I wrote in the other thread for this book 📕

[Corina]

Will start book 6 today :) hope that works.

[Courtney]

Yeah I bought it last night and am starting after my shower

[Corina]

Sounds good to me :)

[Corina]

Started it. Missed Veronica and Stoker :) I'm not very intrigued by the plot in this one though lol

[Courtney]

I was thinking the same thing I’m hoping these two bedmates can spice it up a little bit!

[Corina]

This one is not my favourite...but there is something that Stoker says to Veronica at one point that melted my heart <3

[Courtney]

This one’s okay so far. Not really into the alpinist thing but I do like stoker and veronica together :) lol 😂

[Corina]

Haha...same. I actually finished it yesterday at work as had the audiobook. It was just ok for me. There are some good moments between Stoker and Veronica but overall, didn't care much about the mystery.

[Courtney]

Yeah I can see that. I’m hoping to finish and then go back and read the other book I haven’t finished

[Courtney]

Elin Hildebrand has a new show coming to Netflix based off her book the perfect couple so I wanted to read that too lol

[Corina]

No rush...I had a day full of tasks who didn't require much brain power lol...so I finished the book.
Never read a Elin Hilderbrand book

[Courtney]

I should have more time to read this next few months too. I had to make a hard decision with my job but it’s already proving to be exactly what I needed just didn’t want to do…

That being said I can see what you meant about this one Corina. Although I’m happy about our two love birds the story is a bit flat

[Corina]

All good, Courtney. Sometimes you just have less time to read and that's ok. Hope it all works out with your job. It's hard to get anything done when a job takes a lot of your time.
From the reviews I read, most people felt the same about this one but apparently the next one is better.
Btw, unrelated but another really good YA fantasy when you feel like one is An ember in the ashes series. Read the first 2 books and they're great in my opinion.

[Courtney]

Oooh I’ll have to look into those. After I finish this one I want to finish all the dark colours- I feel like I wasn’t in the right mind set but I am now so I wanna jump on that one

I’m excited for all the new books coming out. Liane Moriarty has a new book coming this month I believe? :)

How’s the new baby and the family doing?
