• Khadijah Khatib once again did the cover, and we’re obsessed with it!
• We look at the cover pretty closely and see if we can find any clues about the story.

• Lastly, we jump into chapter 35, “Pretty Much the Best Good-Night Kiss Ever.”
• Percy gets Annabeth’s special smile!

• It’s so interesting that we learned something new about the cap.
• Annabeth is speechless over the fact that Athena has maybe, sort of, kind of accepted Percy as her boyfriend?
• We love visions of Percabeth’s future!
• Easy-queasy has a lot of potential.
• The “I love you” felt significant, but it’s not the first time they said it, right?
