Maya’s comments from the Overbooked group.

I can't believe it took me so long to get around to the book, but I absolutely adored it!!! Has anybody else read it? :)

I've already read this book and totally loved it!!

I thought the paintball scene was really good (I don't think I've seen many paintball scenes in books!!) and I absolutely fell in love with Josh a little bit!

Has anybody else finished reading The Cousins??

I read it within a day and really loved the story!! But if I'm honest, I didn't like the explanation - I wanted it to be a bit more intricate or something stranger than what it was!!

So I am about halfway through the book and I am OBSESSED. Like I keep having to force myself to book the book down so I can work on my assignment (It's due tomorrow oops) and other basic stuff like making dinner. I mean seriously it's SO GOOD.

But now I've had to promise myself I won't pick it up again until I finish this essay - wish me luck because I can't wait to finish the book!

Mine is @authormayaunadkat <3

I really really want to read Little Women but did you read only Little Women or did you read Good Wives as well? Some people say Good Wives is the second half of the book and it needs to be read, others say its the next book in the series and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to read it haha

The theme for this month's books is Tiktok Favourites! Two books will be chosen for this month - one Fantasy and one Romance. Polls go live at 00:00 GMT 2nd March so make sure to vote for the books of the month!

Are there any specific genres anyone would like to see in future months? :) something vague like classics or thriller or even something more specific like magical realism or mythology :)

The Hating Game is a fairly recent fave of mine!!

Any romance recs that are only 18+!!

The Selection series is good for a cute comfort type of read!!

Any romance recs that are suitable for all ages in the group? :)

I'm looking forward to reading Jane Eyre this month!! We do love an independent woman :)

I really want to read Alice in Wonderland!!

I haven't read Wuthering Heights yet but I'm very excited to read it eventually!! Cannot decide on which edition to buy though haha

One of my personal favourites is Pride and Prejudice! I mean, how could I not fall head over heels for Mr Darcy?!
I love the story as well as the characters and I would be lying to you all if I said I did not watch the BBC mini-series adaptation at least once a month!

Let's talk about any Classics you have read in any genre!!

Night School by CJ Daugherty is the first of five books in the Night School series! Night School
It follows Allie Sheridan as she is mysteriously sent to a boarding school that nobody seems to have heard of before.

But at Cimmeria Academy, Allie is soon caught up in the strange activities of a secret group of elite students.

When she’s attacked late one night the incident sets off a chain of increasingly violent events. As the school begins to seem like a very dangerous place, she finds out that nothing at Cimmeria is what it seems to be.

Feel free to comment any YA recommendations you have for others!!
