    I LOVE THIS BOOK! I’ve taught this book to so many students. It’s fantastic for teaching dystopian fiction. And my students DID read it….i think.

    The Giver was one of those books that I genuinely liked but then saw the movie and now all I can associate with it is a grown man watching kids play war and then breaking down asking them to stop because he was “given” wartime ptsd

I read them all a long time ago, so I actually forgot that there were references to Jonas and Gabriel in Gathering Blue and Messenger, though I knew they were in the same world and, if I recall correctly, there are characters from all of them in Son. Doesn’t Jonas marry the main character from Gathering Blue? Or was that just my 15 year old conspiracy theory brain?

    This felt more like a reminder to loosen up a lil in life, and gives a new perspective to these classics that i could have never imagined. just hoping you guys never stop making these. looking forward to the next one!!

    For the happy memory question, I have two. One has been my happy memory for a while and one that I only started thinking about recently.
    The first one was me and a friend sitting outside at 4-5AM on my birthday as the sun was coming up and the world was so silent and smelled so fresh.
    The second one is one from a while ago that I only recently started going back to a lot. My best friend that I had a crush on leaned his head on my shoulder as we both sat in the backseat of a car on the way back from a friend’s birthday. I remember exactly how it felt, how I felt, how his shirt felt, how the car felt. I miss him.
    Both are pretty gay memories ngl
