YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

I started this one last night! This is the first one of White's books that I have read since I finished Circle of Spies back in 2014 (wow, was it really that long ago?!) And I can already tell I'm going to like this one! :)

7% done (view spoiler)[I like Rosemary's family, they sort of remind me of the O'Malley's, obviously the fact that they are thieves make them completely different, but the way that it seems they are all orphans and chose to become a family reminds me a lot of the O'Malley's!
I like that they are very careful not to rob the poor! There is something about Peter that made me really like him instantly! (hide spoiler)]

I'm gonna start after I finish Centralia. I read the Lost Heiress (I think that was the title), but not the other two in that series, in addition to the series you mentioned. It's been a while, though, since I've read one of her books.

(view spoiler)[I'm intrigued! She's a thief and her newest target sounds like it's going to be crazy. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I didn't notice the similarity until you mentioned it, but yes I can see it. :)

Yeah, I really like him too! (hide spoiler)]

18% done.

(view spoiler)[You just know she's going to find out he's an author pretty soon. I find it hard to believe no one in the house doesn't know...but I guess he is very secretive.

Because of the challenge (to 'steal' a house), I have a feeling the book is going to end with a marriage and then she will own (although she didn't steal) that house. lol! But maybe not, there's a whole lot of story left but I just can't help trying to think about that challenge that was given. haha (hide spoiler)]

34% (view spoiler)[I love Elowyn! It's so fun the way Peter dotes on her and so cute how she wants to marry him on "Christmas day in 1927 because then I'll be 18." She just totally cracks me up! Wow, the library sounds like really something, (to me personally it sounds like a dream come true!) but Rosemary's reaction when she saw "the cave" was so funny! I love how we get glimpses into Peter's writer's brain, when I have an idea I tend to go a little crazy and sometimes tune other people out, much like he does! What do you think about Mrs. Teague? I am very suspicious of her, I mean it's possible she could just be trying to protect Peter, but for some reason I feel like it's more than that! I hope Olivia will be okay, how awful that Rosemary has no choice but to stay there and wonder if Olivia is going to be okay, that would drive me crazy! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Same here, I wonder what her reaction will be when she finds out?! I bet it will be quite fun! How fun, I had the exact same thought about the "steal a house" challenge, can't wait to see that play out, I'm sure it will be super fun! :) (hide spoiler)]

I'm 71% done. I'll come back and comment on what I've read, but can't at the moment. 😊

No hurry! I'm still at 34%, can't wait to get back to reading this one once I finish the one I'm currently reading for the CFB team challenge! :)

48%

(view spoiler)[<3 the way she is talking about his book to him and she doesn't even know it! Love that she isn't afraid to be blunt and share her opinions. (hide spoiler)]

64%

(view spoiler)[Oh my goodness! She was shot by an arrow?!?!? What?! She took is really well and is tough! (hide spoiler)]

Finished

(view spoiler)[Really enjoyed this read! I didn't love it as much as the first series or the first book in the second series, but it was really good. (And I loved the ending and how she said something about winning the challenge or something. haha. too funny!!

(hide spoiler)]Hope you are loving it!

I know, that was so crazy!!!

I've finished now too! (view spoiler)[Same here, I didn't love it as much as the Culper Ring series but I still really enjoyed it! I loved that ending SO much too! (hide spoiler)] Will comment a bit more later!

I loved the ending too!

(view spoiler)[I loved the twist at the end with Mr. V it kind of reminded me a little bit of the end of Ring of Secrets when it turned out that Bennett was actually a Patriot! That scene where Rosemary had to pick the lock of Mrs. Gladstone's door was great, I bet the look on Peter's face was priceless! Were you surprised that it took so long for Rosemary to figure out that he was Branok Hollow? I was a little bit, but it seemed to work for the story! Did you expect Peter's reaction when he found out she was a thief? I wasn't really sure what to expect, I mean I hoped he would take it in stride, but I also thought there was a pretty good chance he might be mad, I certainly never expected him to propose right then! It was such a great moment though! (hide spoiler)]

Thank you so much for reading this one with me, Melanie! It was so much fun! :)
