OMG I KNOW she obviously did remember though because she wouldn't have been able to recount it in the books (since shes the one telling this story, of what she remembers if you remember from the letter in the beginning of Unbecoming. I constantly have to remind myself of it tbh haha)

I'm on the verge of looking up all the drugs mentioned, I was going to wait to do that until tomorrow at least so I could get some sleep but I need to know more LOL

so obsessive researching begins again

Omg but it was written in 3rd person... Where's Mara's pov? Omggggg if freaking outtt! The drugs! I need to look it up pop omggg

Amobarbital (formerly known as amylobarbitone or sodium amytal) is a drug that is a barbiturate derivative. It has sedative-hypnotic properties. It is a white crystalline powder with no odor and a slightly bitter taste. If amobarbital is taken for extended periods of time, physical and psychological dependence can develop. Amobarbital dependence mimics delirium tremens and may be life-threatening.

Barbiturates are drugs that act as central nervous system depressants, and can therefore produce a wide spectrum of effects, from mild sedation to total anesthesia. They have addiction potential, both physical and psychological.

Midazolamis a short-acting drug in the benzodiazepine class. The drug is used for treatment of acute seizures, moderate to severe insomnia, and for inducing sedation and amnesia before medical procedures... The anterograde amnesia property of midazolam is useful for premedication before surgery to inhibit unpleasant memories.

I'M FREAKING OUT I'M TOTALLY FREAKING OUT

I went to bed and then thought "actually instead of her remembering it, she probably just found the transcript or the video of it" but I didn't feel like turning my laptop back on haha

OMG! What is happening?! Waiting until November will be torture.

OMG I JUST PREORDERED MY COPY I'M SO EXCITED!

this is just a random thought but would anyone be interested in doing a group skype chat when we all finish the book?

GUYS IM SO EXCITED FOR THE BOOK, WE SHOULD MAKE A SKYPE CHAT YES YES YES

Actually we should do one before the book comes out to discuss all the theories and stuff
BUT THIS IS ALL SO EXCITINGGG

yes we totally should!!

i was reading up on theories on a mara dyer blog the other day and they're so creepy but i'm addicted to them

Skype chat = yes! All the theories kind of scare me because I'm so worried about what will happen to my babies and it makes the end seem so real, like I don't want the books to end!

Skype chat sounds amazing! Theories freak me out too because I'm sO WORRIED

Everyone's worried! But skype chat is on yaaaaaaay!

Lani wrote: "this is just a random thought but would anyone be interested in doing a group skype chat when we all finish the book?"

YEEES!

I'd be down for Skype! (If I can remember my username and password when the time comes haha I haven't used it in a while)

But guys it just occurred to me that we have like two months and a week till retribution

Oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhh I just thought of something omg in the first chapter Mara's speech was unclear well what if she was saying "get them out". Does anyone remember that in the previous books every time mara woke up in a hospital she'd be screaming "get them out" what if she was doing it now too?

Ohhhh thats actually a really good theory!!! Yes I remember in the first book she would wake up screaming to 'get them out' and I always assumed that was referring to Rachel and the asylum (Claire and Jude as well i suppose but more specifically Rachel) which is quite similar to whats happened now with Noah ahh.

Also a skype chat sounds great!!

GUYS JUST OMG IM FLIPPING I MEAN IM PROBABLY LATE TO READING THIS BUT JUST I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS

oH MY GOD

I KNOW I'M SCREAMING OMG

Sooooo for those of you interested in the Skype chat, I was thinking we could do it on the 4th. It's a Saturday and a month before Retribution. We could celebrate together!

What time zones are we going off? c:
I'm in Sydney so the time zones are usually a day apart hahaha

Oh yes time zones! How could I forget about that! We first need to figure out how's for the Skype chat. Then we're gonna figure out the time zones... I'm in Serbia and I've got no idea how all the time zones work...
