Some authors capture their characters so well that you feel like a part of the group. Pippa Grant has done that with the interlaced worlds of The Bro Code, The Girl Band, The Thrusters Hockey Team, and the Copper Valley Fireballs. Along with a handful of standalones mixed in for our favorite outliers.
I am drawn to these types of books that hook you into a group of friends and take you along the winding path of friendships and relationships. Her website offers both chronological and series style reading lists which I find incredibly helpful when so many series have spin-off books. Sometimes you want to follow a team through their books, other times you want to find out what happens next in the timeline. I love that about Pippa's reading list options.
She is also very generous with the epilogues and bonus epilogues... and sometimes even a bonus bonus epilogue.
I had read a handful of these books about a year ago, but when I was cruising audible, as one does, I found a few of her series had starter bundles! I snagged those so fast my audible credits didn't know what hit them. The narrators are top notch, all fantastic work from every single one of them. Most are names that I keep on my favorites list! Click here to check out the available titles on audio and some samples.
I swear this post is not sponsored, I just love these books so much I want everyone to be able to fall in love with this awesome group of friends and family. As you can see by the checklist above I only have a few of the series books left!
My current Pippa Grant book is JockBlocked. It's about a superstitious super fan who can't talk to players and a ball player who is traded from his home team to the losingest team in the league. There are hijinks, runaway mascots, and banana cream donuts. Mackenzie makes her debut in America's Geekheart but gets her love story in JockBlocked. If you ever worried that you were a little too invested in your favorite team reading this one might make you feel sane.
The big news in the Pippaverse is that Cooper Rock is finally getting his book! Cooper is in so many of these books and he is such an awesome guy, he totally deserves the happiest of endings. I cannot wait to see what kind of trouble he gets into first.
Pippa does have a few books that do not specifically cross into this pile of goodness. Those books are amazing too! I will likely include them in other posts or reviews so I won't detail them here. Just know that her excellent writing and humor carry through those titles as well.
Look! It's Cooper's cover!!
