stalking jack the ripper and eating cinnamon rolls - a reading vlog in seoul, korea

thoughts!
the first book was in a strange way a comforting read because the risks weren't super high and it was a formula i was used to, the second book felt the same way until about 75% of the way through and then it took some historic liberties that i reeeeally didn't like so it ruined the entire ending of the book. will i finish this series just for thomas? yes i will.

okay this was filmed after reading the first book and 60% of the second book and BOY do i have thoughts now that im on the other side of this series hahah see you in my April reading wrap up 👀

[@johnsaxongitno4life588]

All I can say is that I am going to try and go through your previous videos and finding out what books you have been reading 📖 and adding them to my tbr list so thank you 😊 in advance please stay safe and enjoy your reading 📖 love your Australia family friend John xxx

[@lunalitera]

Yes. I read the first two books last year and REALLY tried continuing through the other books but couldn't. I NEED to hear your thoughts now.

[@artemis969]

alot of people don’t like the last two books especially escaping from houdini but i loved them tho. idk i think i like bad books??

Reading actually reduces stress by around 68%! It reduces stress more than taking a walk, video games and even having a cup of tea. Lol I am doing a research paper on reading, can you tell? 😁

I agree with you on why I like the Jack the Ripper series and not knowing why. It feels very weirdly like, a slice of life story? But with murder ? It’s not incredibly fast paced , but easy to follow and Just going with the flow lmao!?

right?! it felt like something i read when i was younger and didnt care as much about plot hahahha

After I saw your vlogs going to cafes and reading I also started doing it! Be it a physical book or on my phone it’s really fun! It helps me actually read the book because god help me I don’t do reading at home at all. I watch videos instead🧍‍♀️ Also the 2 people taking pictures at the background distracted me I had to rewind the video😂

Yessss love going out to read hehe

I didn't realize I was watching your reading channel until you mentioned lol I thought ooh a new Cari video to eat my early dinner with! Then I got an even better surprise, Bear and the Nightingale? One of my favorite books, and a favorite series. I don't know if you'll like it or not but I know your review will be so enjoyable :D I'm currently reading Murder Most Actual, a couple gets snowed in with a bunch of old weirdos in a Scottish castle-hotel and murder ensues. I'm hoping this couple resolves their fights soon I picked it up for a little bit of wlw romance along with the mystery T__T

[@caricanread]

I feel like april was a reading slump for me too cause i read so much but absorbed so little hahah

[@goodbooksarethejoyofmylife4430]

i genuinely hate the third book (and this is my favorite series probably ever). but i love the fourth one though, there’s a ‘twist’ that makes you feel “that did not just happen…” but if you’re there for the romance (just like me, ngl) you’d love the fourth book❤️

[@caricanread]

yeah i finished the series and in the 3rd book i was like oh this is just a romance? and then the fourth book was like, yeah this is just a romance LOL

heheheh there's no real criticism here cause i enjoyed the first book so you're safe! but beware my may reading wrap up muhahaha

[@BooksNest]

I'm glad it's not just me who thought the plot wasn't there with these books but still enjoyed them! I don't know why though, but I always read them super slow!

[@caricanread]

Right?! Theres something about them…but also nothing about them hahha

[@emmalijewski8302]

I remember seeing the first book come out and I diffidently judged it based on its cover, and then later I saw it again with the second book next to it which intrigued me (I really love vampire stuff idk why) so I read the first book. The killer was so obvious that I didn't think it was them bc it was too obvious. I thought the first book was ok but i decided to read the next one bc I liked the characters. I think i read the second one in a day, and I really enjoyed it. The third was a fever dream and I forgot murders were happening and then when the murderer was revealed I was like oh yeah they were solving murders. (I actually really like the third one idk why ppl are mad about that one) The novella was really cute and something I needed. The last one was such a satisfying ending to the series. Came for the murder stayed for the romance. This series is just a fun romp with serial killers inspired by ones in real life with a really cute couple. I also cannot put into words why I love this series, but kerri maniscalo's kingdom of the wicked is a lot darker than i was expecting (did not know the second one was going to have smut bc someone put it in the YA section at my book store and when I looked it up later it said it was NA so someone messed up) but none the less I have been enjoying it and can't wait for the third book.

[@caricanread]

the third one was ABSOLUTELY a fever dream hahhaha

“I don’t think there was a teenager girl investigating Jack the Ripper” Lol read this as a teen and didn’t like it for exactly that reason: too many liberties taken with history and my very logical straightforward brain wanted a story to portray the times.
