I had thoughts. They basically all disappeared at the mention of another Ilbrea book sitting in a drawer... So theres the middle grade start of Ilbrea story, and this mystery book??

... actually I have to admit to being a bad Ilbrea fan. I bought Seige and Sparrow as soon as I could buy it from you guys directly. Annnnd I still haven't read it. 🫣

I know. I know! I'm just...not prepared for the inevitable heartbreak that comes with Ilbrea.

Phew, now that that confession is out of the way I can continue.

Wait...

My 2 year old has decided he's done with naps, gods help me. Which means the usual time I could snag for myself and listen, read, and comment has disappeared too. Damn it.

Now my thoughts are extra gone.

I know I wanted commend Chris on his read aloud skills. I read Percy Jackson to my 5 year old an night to get her to fall asleep and I can never remember the voices 😅. Last night while reading on of the Trials of Apollo books, which I was reading for the first time myself, I hit a sad bit and struggled through the reading between sobs. And one of my first thoughts after getting throught it was "oh no, how is Chris going to handle it when something devastating happens in Sketchbook? He only gets one day to prepare himself before he reads it to us!" (I just assume Megan is going to make us cry at any and all times, lol).

And I know I wanted to internet high-five Megan for being a fellow "foul-mouthed" person.
