Sunshine Book Club Week 7
Okay, so we're coming up on the end! Next week will be the last one of these, and then the week after that we'll talk about Chalice, which I'm super excited about, just fyi. But before we do that, we need to talk about what happened this week.
This section of the book contains one of my favorite lines in all of Sunshine, that bit about vampires not registering on insect radar. It's so entertaining and yet so strange, which is like, the epitome of this book. But a lot of other things happen too, including Rae's speculation about Mel and his tattoos (where is my Mel backstory, Robin McKinley, where), Yolande and the fetch (she makes an excellent point about corruption in large organizations, well, several excellent points), and Rae planning her last two days of existence (I love the fact that she buys all the roses - McKinley loves her roses, they show up in most, if not all, of her books).
What would you do in the last two days of your existence? I would definitely call up my extended family and talk to them (we do this every so often, it wouldn't be incredibly strange) and my friends. I would probably go skiing one more time (assuming that my last two days happened sometime in the winter, otherwise this won't work). Take a day and go to the beach with some of my favorite books. Treat myself to dinner out at a really nice restaurant, the kind that you can only afford on special occasions. I might even take a page out of Rae's book and buy myself some roses.
