Yayyyy for good querying news!! It really is an unhinged process, and anything that preserves your sanity is worth it.
Totally agree with every fiber of my being about True Detective season one. The writing is unmatched. Nothingggggg compares. A hill I will die on is that they never should’ve made any of the other seasons. They were not set up for success lol
Rooting for you Kailey! I know it’s hard to be patient. The process can be grueling (not to say it will be for you!) so keeping distracted — if possible — is key!
we are OBSESSED with Presumed Innocence. Will be finishing the series this week. I have also been listening to Karin Slaughter audiobooks in order for both her two series, there is something so addicting about crime thrillers.
That’s exactly what happened to me. I binged My Favorite Murder and then quit when I couldn’t be home alone anymore. Now whenever I do a puzzle or get in a sudoku kick, I crave it, but I can’t let myself go back to the paranoia!
Good luck on your querying journey, Kailey! I hope you get all the requests!! PS Have you ever watched Broadchurch (UK)?
Thank you!! And no I haven’t even heard of that one
Sadly no mystery recs but I REMEMBER THAT NANCY DREW COMPUTER GAME. I feel seen that is all.
Ugh they were so fun!
They were!! Those early 2000s PC games were peak caming, if you ask me. That and Nintendo 64.
Sending you all the positivity for querying!! I’d be so interested to hear a deeper dive into the process. Also the Alani comment was so funny.
That great to know! Im hoping to write a whole piece when(🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼) I get an agent! 😁
WHEN!!! For sure 🥰🥰

Can’t wait to hear more about querying!! 🤞🏻
Omg absolutely nothing. Like how did the writer to it?! I’ve rewatched it like 3 times at this point.
YES. It's an annual rewatch for me!

Mysteries and thrillers are so much fun! I review that genre for BookPage.
I absolutely LOVED The Deepest Lake by Andromeda Romano-Lax - it's about a toxic writing retreat with SECRETS!
Oooh can’t wait to hear more on the querying front!! I just started my first round of revisions and I’m anxious to get to that stage 🤠
And Lisa Jewell is my favorite thriller author, can’t go wrong with any of her books!!
Its a whirlwind haha but so are revisions 😂

Ooo thanks for the rec!!
Hell yes, I loved the Nancy Drew games 😂 Good luck with querying!
the best, right? What one was your favorite? haha
Oh man, I loved skulking around set in Stay Tuned for Danger! Good times!!
YES omg so good
Cheers to good news that might lead to more good news!
You’re going to get a killer agent, Kailey. I can’t wait for that announcement and the news of your $10,000,000,000 book deal.
Do you listen to true crime podcasts too?
Omg Ally you are so sweet! And I went through a true crime podcast phase awhile ago. Loved it but then it got too depressing so I took a break haha
That’s exactly what happened to me. I binged My Favorite Murder and then quit when I couldn’t be home alone anymore. Now whenever I do a puzzle or get in a sudoku kick, I crave it, but I can’t let myself go back to the paranoia!
Thanks, Madeline! 💕
