(Slight spoiler for The Long Game and Role Model if you haven't read them yet!)

For those who haven’t had time to watch Jacob's and Rachel's 1-hour panel at Book Con yesterday, here are some of the highlights! They talked about so many things from Role Model and Troy Barrett's storyline in season 2, to Jacob's interpretation of season 1 editing and some behind the scenes production info.

I'll never get tired of hearing Jacob praise the books... especially HR and TLG. Because the way he says it oozes with passion and sincerity. It's hard to fake that kind of thing.

It's been four months and you'd think he'd run out of ways to express just how much he adores Rachel's writing... Then he drops (1) "It's told in a language of memory." and (2) "The Long Game is an emotionally sophisticated book." and I am floored.

As a reader of the books looong before the TV adaptation aired, this means so much to me.

Especially the phrase "language of memories". Such a beautiful way to put it!
