well i don't know if you are to this part but (view spoiler)[she actually kept back a few when the govt confiscated them so i think maybe she was making a lot so that they would think they got all of them? (hide spoiler)] and then even later it's revealed that (view spoiler)[the fbi gave them to their people and it's already being spread via sex so i think also maybe she figured they would use it if they took it and then it will spread faster. (hide spoiler)] or at least that's how i viewed it but maybe i'm giving her too much credit?

i also meant to read gideon along with the schedule but ended up listening to the whole thing in one day lol. basically i was at the point where i knew i wasn't really enjoying it that much and just needed to finish it before i lost interest entirely though. and i already had no idea what was going on, if i had put it down for a few days i would have been even more like ???????

I’ve finished the book. I have to admit this is the one book I’ve enjoyed the most of from this series. I still kind of roll my eyes at Amy but she’s more tolerable in this book. I think because she’s not so sweet pure cinnamon roll in this book. I like how everything is finally starting to tie together.
(view spoiler)[When Claire suddenly showed up and we got her POV I was surprised. Like I get she is 10 so I give her some slack but man were her actions stupid. Like yes everyone is treating you like a child because you are a child. I hope Dale isn’t dead. I know he got shot and left behind but I really like him and do not want him to be dead.

This picture was awesome. I hold with your head cannon that it’s an off screen Robin that Cal is flipping off.

So I thought some more on books and I’ve been wanting to read The Song of Achilles. You reminded me when you mentioned Cal. LOL. Have either of you read it? If the answer is no are either of you interested in reading it?

A couple of other books on my to read list are Final Girls and The Last Time I Lied

[Devann]

haha i've actually read song of achilles twice because i was wondering what i was missing the first time and then this group did it as a BoM a few months ago. hopefully you like it better than i did but i definitely don't want to read it again.

final girls and last time i lied are both really good but i don't think i'd really want to reread them, i feel like they would probably be less thrilling since i already know whodunnit

[Claudia]

Yeah I meant to read it during the BOM but I ended up not having time for it. That’s cool I’ll probably do the audio books for them on my own when I figure out some time.
