#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD

The mint calls Alice Diamond back..
And Mary threatens her..
Rob the bartender

WOWOWOWOWOW

What could go wrong ?!?!

Librarybelle The ending of the section really had me wanting to continue. For me, the story has now really picked up. I had a suspicion we‘d see a different side of Mary! 1mo
AmyG I haven‘t read anything about the real 40 elephants….but I wonder if Alice winds up the head of some crime group??? You know shi* is going to go down! 1mo
IndoorDame Atticus is not usually my favorite poet, but that happens to be one of my favorite poems! 1mo

TheBookHippie @AmyG I‘ve got stuff saved but don‘t want to ruin current story 😅🤣 1mo
IndoorDame @AmyG @TheBookHippie looking forward to finding out when we finish the book! 1mo
IndoorDame I guess when it rains it pours? She doesn‘t take any time to wallow though, and this is what I liked about her when she was first introduced. That she seems to have boundless energy and confidence. She dives headfirst into solving all the problems that just appeared with zero plan. I‘m excited to see what plan emerges when we read the next section! 1mo
Karisa @AmyG Yes! Seems like she‘s gearing up to take on Mary! 👀🍿 1mo
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame me in my 20s 😅😵‍💫🤣😳 1mo
TheBookHippie @Karisa GODFATHER VIBES!! 1mo
Karisa @TheBookHippie Totally! Hopefully Alice will figure out an offer she can make to avoid always handling the violence herself. She needs to get into Big Boss mode to level up 😅 1mo
TheBookHippie @Karisa YESSSS!!! Level up!!! 1mo
BarkingMadRead Ohhhhhh this is getting hard to put down! I knew Mary was gonna suck but the Rob thing shocked me! I cannot wait to see how Alice handles this (edited) 1mo
IndoorDame @TheBookHippie ditto! How do I get that girl back!? 🤣 1mo
kspenmoll @Karisa Yes to all you said! 1mo
vonnie862 @AmyG my thoughts the same 1mo
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame HA RIGHT?!?! I need her too. 1mo
dabbe @IndoorDame And she battles on with a constant hangover! 🤩😂🥴 1mo
dabbe Mary, Mary, quite contrary ... now we see how your garden REALLY grows. 😤😤 1mo
TheBookHippie @dabbe 👀👩🏻‍🌾🪴 1mo
IndoorDame @dabbe 🤣🤣🤣🤣 (that part may have possibly also been me in my 20s but 🤫) 1mo
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame 👀🤣👀 1mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie 🤩😂🤗 1mo
dabbe @IndoorDame Oh, same here. #thegoodoldays 🤩😂🤗 1mo
DebinHawaii Things definitely ramped up in this section! It was hard to stop reading. I am worried about this fight & what‘s going to happen with Mary. 1mo
mollyrotondo Mary shows her true colors. She is a dictator in this group. Alice needs to take her down. 1mo
TheBookHippie @mollyrotondo YES!!!! TAKE HER DOWN!!! 1mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I want Alice to take down Mary, but I am in the minority when I say, I don't really like Alice either. She seems too vainglorious about her position in The Mint and her thieving skills. She is very impulsive and too easily goes to violence. She might not be the idiot that Tommy is, but I am not overly impressed with her either. Imagine if your boss cared enough about who you sleep with to follow you?! Yikes! 4w
TheBookHippie @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick she‘s very young I think? Hopefully with age comes wisdom 😅😳🫣 4w

TheBookgeekFrau Great episode!! I remember reading this short story in middle school and commenting that it sounded like a Twilight Zone episode. My teacher not only told me I was correct, but it launched a whole class discussion. Ahhhh, the good ol' school days when lessons could great unexpected turns {sigh} 11mo
Daisey I used the teleplay with my students when I taught 8th grade and then we would watch the episode. Definitely led to some interesting discussions about the content and the video quality. 11mo
dabbe @TheBookgeeFrau and @Daisey ... same here! It was actually in our McDougal Littell textbook back in 2000 when I taught middle school. In those days I would do a whole Twilight Zone week! #thegoodoldays 11mo
