I want so badly for Holly Jackson to make a spinoff book or series with the younger brother, Josh! I feel like we get those hints that he wants to be like Pip, and maybe she wanted to leave that as a possibility so if she ever wants to revisit the series she could.

Friend Zone is the only AJ book I rated below 4 stars(3.75). My least favorite of hers but still good. Blood Sugar I gave 4.25 A good read Really loved The Measure and gave it 5 stars American Mermaid was a DNF for me None Of This Is True was a 4.5 star read... I've listened to 10 LJ books... Love her audiobooks Lovely War was also a DNF Finlay D Rolls the Dice was a 3.75 and better than the 3rd book(1st book was 5 stars and 2nd book a 4.5) I ALMOST bought The Spellshop but then a fellow reader who didn't like it talked me out of it Powerless is the most disappointing book ever considering all the high ratings... I had another booktuber say don't go into it for the fantasy but still gave it 5 stars... How?? You don't like the fantasy in a fantasy book but it still gets 5 stars?? Just For the Summer was a 5 star read Murder Road was only a 3.75 star read... I enjoyed it, but not as much as some of my friends who loved it Everytime I Go On Vacation was a solid 4 star read... a fun ride

I just want to watch a Booktube video that doesn't have anything Powerless in it 😂 I disliked it 👎🏽 She basically copied the fantasy story and added a cringy romance 🤷🏻‍♂ I got to meet Lucy Foley and get The Midnight Feast signed by her this summer... She's super nice... I actually loved both The Guest List & The Paris Apartment, but didn't care for The Hunting Party Every Time I Go On Vacation Someone Dies was a fun read

no because i was confused too how pip didn't realize it was jason bell- like GIRLLL cmon 😭 she knew Jason had a history of cheating on his wife. the last murder happened on the same night Andie died, and on that day Jason was at a dinner party when he left in the middle.... hmmm ?!! "practically" a police officer- we know Jason is well connected. Pip knew he was close to both Daniel Da Silva and Detective Hawkins. We learned in the first book that Jason was a shithead when it came to how he talked to his daughters. Also, couldn't Andie just tell her dad or mom if she felt like Daniel was a murderer?! I mean, I'm sure her dad knows more police officers too lmao- and he's rich and well connected, as I said. But if her dad was the murderer- SHE OBVIOUSLY CAN'T SAY ANYTHING. DUH. OF COURSE SHE WOULD WANT TO GET AWAY. Like it all clicked for me the second I read the email from Andies second account. I was like "ITS JASON BELL" meanwhile pip "its daniel da silva". i was like "girl you're smarter than this" but it was probably just that Holly didn't want to reveal it until Pip got kidnapped lmao.

I got to see Riley Sager and get Middle of the Night(4.25) signed while I was in Houston. I really enjoyed this book. I like a slow-burn mystery with a dual timeline and the whole paranormal /cult aspect I always find intriguing. And while the ending wasn't a WOW moment, I did like the whole buildup to the reveal Loved Just For the Summer(5.0) & Funny Story(4.5) & Yellowface(5.0) I'm about to start Bad Blood in The Naturals series... Really enjoying my time with this series: The Naturals(4.5), Killer Instinct(4.5), All In(5.0)

Hi Meghan! I also read Swan Song in June. To me, it’s just not summer without an Elin Hildebrand novel! I am currently reading Just For the Summer and I am enjoying it so far. It’s my first from Abby Jimenez so I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone has been talking about. Next up is Riley Sager’s Middle of the Night. Like you, I love the paranormal aspects of his books. As always, great video!

Tobias Hawthorne also choose her because there was so many factors about her that make her perfect for the role. Like you said she is technically a target but she also was in the perfect place at the wrong time. Toby was very fond of Avery’s mother and he knew how incredibly talented and intelligent she is. Tobias also was just a bit of a backstabber in general.
