I don’t think it has enough of any color 😞

DQs Day 3 - 17 June
Chapters 7 - 8, 26%

10) We find out more about Frank Dunning. He is portrayed as a smooth talker and good looking. Do you find this stereotypical of someone who will go on to murder most of his family? It always seems to be someone no one suspects. Jake's opinion of him obviously isn't very good. Do you think Jake would feel differently if he didn't know what Frank was going to do?

Knowing what Frank is going to do definitely clouds Jake's perception of him.

11) Jake plans how he is going to stop Frank. Would your thought process have been the same as Jake's? How would you plan to change the event?

Not sure I would know of the first thing to do to change the event.

12) There is something off about Derry. The place itself feels weird and the people act strange. Would you stay somewhere where you don't feel welcome? Would you investigate more into what was going on?

There is some weird stuff going on in Derry. I dont think I would stay anywhere I wasn`t welcome.

13) Well, stoppping Frank didn't go to plan but he did get stopped. What do you think the cosequences of changing the event will be in the present, if any? Do you think he will go back and try again? If so, what do you think he will do differently?

There will definitely be a butterfly effect but it won't be until he returns to the present day that he will find this out

It is also 500+ pages and we are short in those ;)

Melissa wrote: "The Save Christmas tasks have to do with the title of books. I picked Enchanted Hunt to start us off, as T is a good one for titles. E can be more elusive... so if you see an E title, that's good :)"

I’ve moved this to fit the Right side of our square.

To Save Christmas we need:

Book 1 : A book that ends in an E
Book 2: A book that ends in a T
Book 3: Title begins with the initial of the title of book 1 and ends with the initial of the title of book 2
