Drunk On You

Just finish my re read of Blue Blood. I feel like I've might of mention this before, but I'll do it again. When they find the diary and see the last borrower was CVA the date says 12/24/11. Which means that the present day has to be at least in the fall of 2012.

Interesting since I feel like most books take place in the present day, and the book came out about 7 years ago.

Stay to the Lights

That is interesting. I wonder why Melissa made it like that when Blue Bloods would have came out in 2006 going by the inside of my book.
Maybe she knew that by the end of the last book we would be in the same time as the book timeline.

Drunk On You

I was thinking that too. That's putting in a lot of thought in it though.

I'll keep that date in mind when I re read the other books. Maybe we can form a timeline.

Stay to the Lights

Yeah We should jot that down, and form a timeline for sure

Drunk On You

There's mention of fall in this book so I'm assuming it's not long after a new school year 2012.

Stay to the Lights

Yeah.

We should also make a timeline of the past they mention

Maybe I will.

ETA: I remember when Oliver and Sky were lining up for the club in the beginning, it's mentioned all the clothes she is wearing, so I am guessing its cold? So maybe Oct/Nov?

Drunk On You

Probably. I'm thinking maybe more towards Oct? No holiday was mention though. If I remember right the Four Hundred Ball takes place in the second book and is around Christmas right?

I think in the back of one book it lists the past lives of the main characters.

Stay to the Lights

The past lives yes, but not the dates

Because remember, we were trying to figure out the whole Charles/Allegra stuff in the dates with what happened in Rome. I figure if we can pinpoint dates, we might be have some better idea.

Okay, lets say October

Drunk On You

That's right. I can write it down in my notebook. So what we got so far?

Stay to the Lights

Okay.. lets see

November 1620 -- They arrived on the Mayflower
Nov 21st 1620 -- Catherine Carver on the Mayflower waiting for land. Others think danger is still among them. She and John are planning on marrying soon.

Drunk On You

I'm gonna go through the other journal entries in the book. And also write down who is who from Plymouth.

Also I emailed you my review on the book.

Stay to the Lights

I got it, thanks. I'm still reading the book
I'll post anything date-ish that stands out as I read.

ETA: Oh and in 1622 Miles Standish (Charles) was elected Governor of the colony for 30 terms.
He and Rose had 14 sets of twins

damn that's a lot of kids,

Drunk On You

I also got Nov 30 1620-Myles took a party to Roanoke Colony
Dec 20, 1620-First boy went missing, but could of went with the Roanoke Party
Dec 23, 1620-Roanoke Party return, everyone at Roanoke Colony disappeared. Found Croatan nailed to a tree

Also wrote down the past lives that we know so far in the book:

Catherine Carver-Cordelia Van Alen
John Carver-Lawrence Winslow Van Alen
Myles Standish-Charles Force-Michael
Rose Standish-Allegra Van Alen-Gabrielle
William White-Jack Force
Susannah White-Mimi Force

Also I remember reading that John wanted to sound the alarm about Silver Bloods and William White was going to stand by his side.

Stay to the Lights

Oh, those are good.

I noticed now that Bliss's nightmares/Lucifer taking over starts in this book. She mentions of nightmares and someone trying to take her, or something.

Drunk On You

I was going to mention that too. Which is why I love re reading books. You pick up clues and foreshadowing that you didn't see the first time. Not only that I think I remember in one of the books it says it pretty much happens to her in each lifetime.

I also noted that it says that it says Sky looks just like her mom except the eye colors are different. I think I've mention it before but I think in another book or one of the short stories it has Allegra's hair a different color.
