    13:54 - 17:44 when a book makes you act like you’re high, you know you’ve struck gold

    I’m in the US and I have seen Thursday murder club books everywhere! Im obsessed!! I feel like i need to reread it before reading the second one.. there was a lot that happened at the end.

      Yes sooooo much happened!! I can’t wait to get my hands on book two!

    As an American I can say I absolutely 💖💖💖 Thursday Murder Club! Can't wait to read the sequel (it's in transit to my library right now!!)
    ...that said I married a Brit, so I'm already pre-disposed to like British humor 😂😂
    But also my library ordered over 100 copies and there's a waitlist currently of 496 just for the physical copy -another 408 for ebook 👀- so I think it's generally popular over here too! 🔒

    Okay, have you read Finlay Donovan is Killing It? Because your reaction to The Thursday Murder Club and my reaction to Finlay are basically the same. I was obsessed. Finlay gets mistaken for a hit man and gets hired to kill this lady's husband. It's amazing.

      Loved Finlay! Can't wait for book 2 because that plot twist at the end left me hanging!

      Yes! Finlay Donovan is Killing It is for anyone who wants murder but also a good time.

    I’m so glad you loved Thursday murder club. It was such a joy to read, it makes me want to read it again watching you enjoy it so much!
    I am an American, but I was raised by an Anglophile, watching lots of British comedies so I’m not sure if that impacted my humor but I thought it was hilarious. 🥰

    Omg I found you from your collab video with all the other booktubers (Hi Kayla!) & I looooove mysteries! I may live in Canada but The Thursday Murder Club is DEFINITELY on my list now lol
    Love your energy & all the memes!

    Heck flipping yes. Cannot wait for this my heart just might mi mi……. *heart attack* dies.
    Detective appears on scene, what has gone on here, this lady was perfectly healthy and should not have had a heart attack. Something is afoot.
    The detective looks at the smartphone gripped the cadavers hand.
    The detective pulled apart the fingers, rigid Morris already setting and sees……. * Notification of this video*
    The detectives eyes widen, “my oh my, it’s a, a Megwithbooks upload!” Detective dies instantaneously from excitement overload.
    Okay yup that’s my story. Hope you enjoy!👻 where’s my Booker prize? Haha jk. Love you! Thanks for a great video! I’ve had the Thursdays murder club book for a criminally long time and need to read it, can I even call myself British?
    Also that Bratz edit. Just got hit by a nostalgia train!!

    I just started Thursday Murder Club and already really enjoying it! I was wondering if you’ve read or watched the Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries series by Kerry Greenwood. It seems a bit similar to Dead Dead girls because it’s set in the 1920s and can touch on some darker topics but it’s set here in Australia and all the characters are amazing. There are over 20 books, a tv series and a movie and the author is still releasing books every year so you should definitely check them out 😊

  • @monikareadss792
    @monikareadss792 3 года назад

    YES!!!!!! My thoughts on "The Thursday's Murder Club" are completely the same. I adored the humor, the characters, the setting... And I'm from Lithuania, I thought this book was kinda underrated, so it is amazing to see the book getting more recognition on booktube!❤️❤️

    Your enthusiasm for The Thursday Murder Club wants me to give it a second chance 😂 I tried reading it in January but I don’t think I gave it a fair shot since I was preoccupied with so many books at the time, I put it down and haven’t picked it up since. I hope I enjoy it as half as much as you did! 😂

  • @kristel7366
    @kristel7366 3 года назад +1

    i really really think that you should read keigo higashino's detective galileo series, starting with "the devotion of suspect x." i think it will scratch a lot of the clever mystery plotting for you.

  • @karenjobim5794
    @karenjobim5794 3 года назад

    The Thursday Murder Club is on my TBR bc my cousin read and said you need to read it. Also, I love mysteries so I haven't read it but I heard that Finlay Donovan is killing it is great too.

  • @graydonpanzica330
    @graydonpanzica330 2 года назад

    If you enjoy the mystery/fantasy blend, you might like Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes. Homicide detective Gabriella Versado has been doing her job for a long time, and she thinks she's seen just about all there is to see--until she's called to the scene of a murder where the victim is half-boy, half-deer, and reality is turned right on its head.

    I absolutely love reading murder mysteries and get so many recommendations from you! I love the Quiet Life in the Country series and I know you're making your way through the Poirot series but I think you'll like Miss Marple better as they are cosier and I think Murder at the Vicarage is so good! Has some subtle humour that I just loved

    All I think about when I hear The Thursday Murder Club is that Graham Norton interview where he talks about the success of it but every week he got an email from Irish publisher saying “good news you’re number 2” the person that was 1: Graham 😂

    Thursday Murder Club was so good second one even better. Marlow Murder Club written by the same person who writes death in paradise. It was good and similar to Thursday murder club.

    Your joy at reading The Thursday Murder Club was such a joy to watch! It’s my pick for the Buzzwordathon December prompt and now I’m even more excited to read it!
    Day 3725 of asking to you to read THE APPEAL!
    Oh oh and elderly protagonist recs: A Man Called Ove (hilarious but will make you bawl at the same time), 100 Years of Lenni and Margot, and I haven’t read it yet but it’s on my TBR for November, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.

    I’m Canadian and I’m sure the fervour for Thursday Murder Club is stronger in the UK, but it’s still quite strong here. It took me AGES to get an audiobook copy from my library and it would have been even longer for an ebook or physical book copy.

    @lisabscreativeworld9238 3 года назад

    Oh Meg, Im crying and dancing all at the same time. Odd sensation, but, you saying that there aren't enough books about older people and our perspective, it just melted me and was everything. I feel like most heroines are 20 or 30. That's fine, but there is a whole age range of women who are just killing it as well. That you recognized it is just everything. Thank you.

    Look. Megan is brilliant. I love her videos and I always will but this video triggered me in a way I did not expect. When she mentioned reading in the bath, I got so jealous. Am I blaming my poor reading year on the fact I no longer have a bathtub? Yes. Am I daydreaming about lush bath bombs and bubbles? Yes. Megan what have you done, the green eyes monster has come out to play and I cannot send them away

    I’m going to be honest…i DNF the Thursday Murder club at 22 pages 😴 but I’m American! I think the cartoon villain (or the guy I’m assuming gets murdered??? I didn’t even get to the Murder 🙀) was too much for me 🤡. Great that you and most of Britain love it 😊

  • @ffiontill5924

    Hdhdbfjofbsbxjcndj 5 stars for Thursday murders club. I’m currently in between 2 books but you bet your bottom dollar imma pick that up now! I love books about older characters! Ive read all three of Beth o Leary’s books and my favourite is the switch I think purely for the older protagonist and characters.
    Have you read Grady Hendrix Southerns book club guide to slaying vampires?
