S10 Episode 7 - Violence (Blue Lily, Lily Blue)

Pretty grim topic this week but one that comes up often enough for these characters, sadly – we're reading chapters 33-37 of Blue Lily, Lily Blue through the theme of violence.
In this section, the Greenmantles go spelunking. Piper continues to be weird and it's freaking Colin out! Gwenllian, meanwhile, is wreaking noisy havoc at 300 Fox Way, but the Gray Man asks her to sing her story, and she does. She shows Blue that they’re the same, they're mirrors. If things aren’t weird and spooky enough, there’s a scaffolding failure at Aglionby and where Adam should have been killed, he's been perfectly protected–Cabeswater again.
Heads up: Jenn D’s story today talks about corporal punishment for kids, and we talk about the ramifications of growing up in countries with normalized violence If that’s not your jam, the story starts at 3:55 minutes in, and we move on to chapter summaries at 11:25.

S10 Episode 6 - Hospitality (Blue Lily, Lily Blue)

We're all about hospitality this week as we read chapters 28-32 of Blue Lily, Lily Blue.
In this section, it’s raining blood and there’s a comet and they’ve rescued an ancient madwoman who just happens to be Gwenllian, illegitimate daughter of Owen Glendower. They trundle her back to 300 Fox Way, where Persephone has been waiting for her. Malory tells Blue a little bit about Gansey before. Ronan and Adam go to church to dream up terrible evidence in order to implicate Colin Greenmantle in a series of disgusting crimes. Adam’s father turns up at his apartment and tries to intimidate him, then hurt him, but Cabeswater intervenes.

S10 Episode 5 - Suffering (Blue Lily, Lily Blue)

This week, we’re reading chapters 22-27 of Blue Lily, Lily Blue through the theme of suffering and boy, do we suffer with these characters.
In this section, Blue makes another attempt to get into Jesse Dittley’s cave and Noah goes very dark and scary. Back at 300 Fox Way, Blue mentions Jesse Dittley is on the church watch list and Adam immediately divines that one of them is on it, too. Later, Gansey takes Blue for a night time drive, and it’s magical… until Henry Cheng sideswipes it. The Gangsey discover a tomb in the Dittley cave.

Inside you are two wolves… or something! This week, we’re reading chapters 17-21 of Blue Lily, Lily Blue.
In this section, Blue finds Jesse Dittley’s name on the church watch list. Gansey has begun waiting for Blue to call… which she does. We finally meet Henry Cheng but Gansey, while polite, doesn’t have much time for him.

In this section, the boys tell the women of 300 Fox Way about Greenmantle. Blue joins Gansey and Malory in search of a cave, and they meet Jesse Dittley. Adam and Ronan fight about the future Adam wants and Ronan despises.
