Whenever I start one of these books, I get so hooked I have to read until the end...even when I have crazy deadlines to meet 🙈 Cammie Morgan and her friends are some of the few female heroines I truly love reading about ❤

Traci1 I love these books. 6y

Happy Fourth of July!! We don't usually go all out for Independence Day but for some reason my mom decorated the outside of our house and she is baking red, white, and blue desserts (I'm not complaining 😏). Later today my sisters and I will probably walk to downtown Greenville and watch fireworks.
What do you have planned for today?

we‘d spent more than a year trying to figure boys out, but in all that time it had never crossed my mind that we might be just as encrypted to them.

“There‘s a boy in my life,” I told him. “He‘s a very bad influence.” Then Zach nodded. “Bad boys have a way of doing that. But they‘re worth it.”

I surveyed the crowd, remembering that the bad guys could be anyone, that they could be anywhere –that they knew who we were. And they just had to get lucky… once.

Gallagher Girls are asked to do hard things. All the time. But until that day I never really knew that the hardest mission of all is to do nothing.

a very cute, very mysterious spy boy was either out to save us, or kidnap us, or date us.

Donna_sBookMinute Is that the guy from Burn Notice? 7y
GeekGrl82 @Donna_sBookMinute Yes! Jeffrey Donovan! I miss that show... 7y
Donna_sBookMinute @GeekGrl82 -- Oh. Never knew his name. Yes it was very good. I catch a random episode every now and then. 7y

I marvelled at the fact that there are boys in the world who are exactly what they seem.

A great operative can become someone else at the drop of a hat (and sometimes, actual hats are involved),

every spy learns early on that the stories that matter most are the ones that you don‘t tell.

Will the boy drama in my life ever go away?! Seriously. I‘m asking.

I wanted to pretend that I still believed I lived in a world where hair and jeans really mattered. But I didn‘t.

while Bex is perfectly willing to take on three armed attackers at once, spiders are an entirely different thing.

We all thought we‘d have the better part of a year to spend together, but in any life –especially a spy‘s life –tomorrow is never guaranteed.

I wanted to take the greatest training I had ever received and learn from it, and be better because of it. And I wanted it to stop being real.

for a Gallagher Girl, “boy crazy” might be the most dangerous kind of crazy there is.

There are things spies often carry with them: pocket litter, fake IDs, the occasional weapon-slash-camera-slash-hair accessory. But the heaviest things, I think, are the secrets. They can drown you if you let them.

jpmcwisemorgan I've read the first two in the series and hope to get to this one soon. 7y

As if I were simply a sixteen-year-old girl. As if I couldn‘t possibly be a threat. As if I didn‘t go to a school for spies.

Spotted outside a clothing store. Thoughts?

BestOfFates Haha, I totally agree in that I do judge books by their covers and do think it's important to convey themes & the like through visual cues, but then you read the articles about how white men get better/more intriguing cover selections & then I feel bad! 8y
KVanRead @BestOfFates hadn't heard that (about white males) but not surprised, sigh...but I guess we all do it or books would all bound in brown paper. And at least can feel good about creating jobs for artists! 8y
BestOfFates @KVanRead There are so many covers I love and so many that I emotionally connect to with certain books (like the original US HP run) but I try to consciously not let that sway my choices! http://flavorwire.com/275360/are-book-covers-different-for-female-and-male-autho... 8y

KVanRead @BestOfFates Great article! Thanks for sharing. Judging from my shelves I think I'm more drawn to the masculine covers...going to watch for this in future. 8y
BestOfFates Welcome! Yeah, one of the reasons it really stuck with me is that I'm incredibly disinterested by the "female" covers, so I try to make sure I'm not taking subtle cues to read less women! 8y
Yossarian I think that I don't have the time to judge every book, so the cover should give me enough indication of the "type" of book, so I can decide whether to look deeper and judge it by the content of its character. A book with an uninteresting cover probably won't get judged by me at all. 8y
