OKAY???? when he said “darlin” i screeched😩

[@Eman-rb2hc]

I’m glad you liked agggtm ! It’s one the best YA thrillers out there and definitely worth the hype, I highly suggest you read the other two books because the series just gets better and better !

[@MelReads]

after reading the synopsis for the second one, i may just have to keep reading👀

[@danamonsees-cns]

I love that you had this positive experience with rereading!! Definitely makes me want to try them too

omg i have horrible bruxism i feel you!! Jaw pain and tinnitus, not a fun time

[@chiarabertoni2978]

Italian girl here, grocery shopping here is more expensive than it ever was , for things like vegetables, fruits (we had always paid more for the ones that were coming from south america like avocado or papaya but now even buying peaches and cherries is a struggle for a lot of people). Pretty much everything is more expensive so we can feel your struggle🥲

[@MelReads]

okay this!!! produce is incredibly expensive right now😭 anytime i have to buy a lot of it, my brain goes “omg yesss buy all the veggies,” and then i see the total and screech💀

[@Leigh_orange]

I’m soooo glad you loved The Inheritance Games! The trilogy is one of my favorites and I can’t wait to see what you think of the rest. We certainly stan Libby and Nash - they are vibes. Jameson may grow on you, but I’m also a Grayson girly.

[@MelReads]

thinking about doing this for book 2👀

[@jalyntaylor7609]

I really liked these two picks when I first read them (this year). I have to read the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes again. I speed read it and hated the audiobook back when it came out. Gotta re-read it.🤑💰💵

[@MelReads]

i also retried ballad, and it was the best decision i made! SO good jalyn❤️‍🔥

[@daniquevoss3330]

I don’t know if anyone has commented on this but I think with AGGGTM you have the American book and the British version is better they left stuff out in the American book so I would recommend trying to get the British version of the book

[@paralysedwithlove8565]

I’m so excited for this 😍

[@MelReads]

hehehe🕺🤸🏻‍♀️

The main characters b-day in The Inheritance Games is the same as mine. Libras for the win! also I’m also routing for Libby and Nash. Also also I feel you Mel on the Mystery Girl/MG thing.

I’ve read both of these series all the way through, I think A Good Girls Guide to Murder is best as a stand-alone, but Inherence Games is best when you binge all 3 books!

I like good girls guide to murder it’s cute but I rolled my eyes and said give me a break a lot because as someone who lives in NY and unfortunately was around shady characters including drug dealers she would have been dead from the beginning of the book. They portrayed the drug dealer as some wimp dirty poor white trash. Let me tell you I laughed at that first of all they have money clearly and second she would have never walked up in he’s house and threatened him. Also most drug dealers aren’t alone they have their “boys” with them. She would be literally good girls got murdered instead. 😂 I had to tell myself it’s fiction and I enjoyed it anyway no matter how unbelievable it was.

[@MelReads]

oh, you already know she would’ve NEVER made it in the real world carrying through this investigation😂
