I read the Good Girl's Guide to Murder trilogy and loved it as well :yep:

Have you heard of the Grishaverse? It's fantasy/adventure. The Six of Crows Duology is my favourite series in the Grishaverse. It's an action packed heist and you don't even have to read the first books in the Grishaverse (the Shadow and Bone trilogy) to understand it (I read Six of Crows first and loved it)

LOOLLLL, u have a point, btw I started reading the Brothers Hawthorne Book, and it seems a bit boring ngl, idk do u think I should continue it, like is it worth it or should I start the Naturals series? (or both?)

um you're right, the first books set our standards high, nd the brothers Hawthorne can be a bit of meh, but the story will get better in the further chapters.
and you can always start the naturals series after, bcz personally for me, 2 books/series at a time mess with my head

Hiya, i finished the Brothers Hawthorne book and it was ok ngl, like it was good but not as intriguing as the rest of the books, it didn't have as much drama personally, hopefully the new books are better
I recently read thats not my name and how to die famous so would recommend those.Also anything Karen McManus she has a new book out as well which is next on my tbr
