It was so lovely to hear a good ol’ ice breaker and discussion on craft, as very much as I’ve enjoyed the read-alongs. This was just the sequel episode I was hoping for! I loved hearing both the big-brushed sequel arcs, scope, and impressions you were planning from the start and how you fine tuned those both as book one wrapped up, and as you sat down to book two. It is so interesting how some arcs you were confident on and some stakes were very hazy at the start.
Amie, Die Hard 3 alllllllmost overdoes it for me but I posit that perhaps the “correcting” of John’s hubris in having his past defeats come back to haunt him is right up your character arc alley. Although I’m not sure how much he learns at the end!
Kate, I so hope the end of your pregnancy and the birthing process goes as smoothly as possible! I won’t pretend to throw “comfortable” out there, because that is rarely in the cards by the end! 😝

Thanks, Janine. It was a wild ride to be sure!
Such a fun and interesting episode! I loved seeing the different ways you delt with the character arcs over the two books!
I'm so excited! I'm planning to come to Amie's Sacramento stop!! 🧡🧡
Ooooh I hope you made it, Jamie!
I did!! It was so fun! She was so nice!!
Love all the photos! Amie, you're living my dream life with all the library trips!
