Would any book in the Lunar Chronicles (Scarlet or Cress) work for "Theme is AI" Iko is an Android with AI and is in both books and is a strong character in the books,, but I didn't know if that qualified as a theme?If not can you give me an example of a book that will qualify? I am a little lost on this one,,,,
I'll accept any of the Lunar Chronicles because Iko is a main character. It seems to me there are quite a few lesser characters that are also AI, like the healers in the first book taking care of those sick from the virus.

? for youI read the book Tempest here is a link to the google book preview https://www.google.com/books/edition/...
I read it because it was on a list of books that were diaries. And each chapter does start with a date and he says in the beginning he is writing everything down so he can keep track of what happens when (he time travels) but now that I have read it it doesnt really seem like a diary to me,, a lot of dialogue ect ect,,
was wondering what you thought if I could use it for the diary challenge
It sounds like it's half and half. The italicized bits are his journal entries, so I think you can count it.
