What to Read While Waiting for the Veronica Mars Movie


Ever since the Veronica Mars movie was announced, I've been obsessively checking the Kickstarter page, watching Logan and Veronica clips on YouTube, and reading every piece of news about who is going to be in the film and what the plot my be I can get my hands on. Yep, I love Veronica Mars and I'm thrilled she'll be making a comeback. Obsessed like me? Or new to Veronica Mars and need to get in a YA mystery mood? Here's what you can read while waiting for the Veronica Mars movie:


Rats Saw God by Rob Thomas
-Before he was creating TV show detectives, Rob Thomas was writing YA novels. The book just got a new cover and re-released this month.


All Unquiet Things by Anna Jarzab

-This is one I've seen tagged as a Veronica Mars readalike and in my review I even mentioned how Veronica Mars fans need to get ahold of this smart character driven mystery.


Deadly Cool by Gemma Halliday

-High school murder mystery and total fluffy fun


The Girl is Murder by Kathryn Miller Haines

-Veronica Mars if she was born in 1942


I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You by Ally Carter

-If Veronica Mars was a bit more chick lit and went to a school for spies


The Nightmare Affair by Mindee Arnett

-Veronica Mars meets Harry Potter


Saving Zoe by Alyson Noel

-Another murder mystery. I picked this one up years ago based on the blurb saying it was for Veronica Mars fans and I still agree.


Please Ignore Vera Dietz by A.S. King

-I said in my review that the father/daughter relationship in this one reminds me of Keith and Veronica-it's well worth reading!

And if you just can't get enough of Veronica:


Neptune Noir: Unauthorized Investigations into Veronica Mars

Any other suggestions for Veronica Mars fans?

    Great list, Sarah! May I also suggest "Lulu Dark Can See Through Walls" by Bennett Madison? A teen detective who is a lot of fun! I wish he would write more than the two in the series. The Spellman Files is also a fantastic series for teens interested in trying out an adult series.

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Rating: 5/5 Stars Genre: Realistic Fiction Release Date: 2/26/2013 Add to Goodreads About the Book: Eleanor and Park are both misfits. When new girl Eleanor sits next to Park on the bus, they don't want anything to do with each other. But over the course of the school year, things change.

GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed. I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou
