Trinia’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Looking at Tasks on Monster Codes Tab ... J 3 has the task of 4 in there. Guessing it is a typo?

yes! Hopefully because I think we should give it a try , lol!

I do like the actresses too :D

Good to know ladies! I will have to prioritize Little Big! Do you think hubby will tolerate it? 😂
So far so good.. Trinia 1, Spider 🕷 0 😅

I'm working on a few books today! Did find hard headed in but probably won't be able to get to it.

I'll look through some more tasks later. Got a facial appt today! Haven't done that in years.

Also had a run in with a black widow spider, not sure if she actually bit me so I consider myself lucky because I'm pretty sure I would know! LOL

Happy Friday y'all!

I read 11/22/63 so long ago, would love to re-read it. AND then watch it on Hulu! I never go back and watch the shows based on books. I still want to watch Big Little Lies

thanks! Just double checking

@Louise ~ Do you think Locke & Key will be eligible? It's a 13 hour audiobook "based" on an entire graphic novel series (7books?)

Thanks E! I was mostly worried because the original series is a graphic book series. But only 100 pages, yuck!

I've got a question... I'm currently listening to which only has an audiobook version. It's a performance audio based on a graphic book series but it's run time is 13 hours 23 minutes, which should fit our rules.
Captains, what do you think? Is it eligible?

DQs Day 3: Chap 20-29

10. Beth's house has seemed important from the beginning of the story and there have been a lot of descriptions of the "Frankenstein ugly" house. During one of Shea's interviews Beth told her to go upstairs and see her childhood bedroom and then she said, "Not all of the answers you want so desperately are going to come from me. Some of them are going to come from this house." What do you think Shea learned from the house when she perused Beth's room?
She got to experience the gloom of the ugly house. I personally can't imagine a house of that description being ugly. I would love to see it!

11. We now have a better insight into the note that was left at the murder scene that said, in part, Am I bitter or am I sweet? In this section we got a lot of details about how this "bitter/sweet" was played out in the house with Mariana and the two girls. Lily also told Beth that everything was her fault and she could have stopped it. What do you think the note will reveal about the murderer and how do you think Beth could've stopped it or could she have?
I hate to jump to conclusions. but this makes me think Lily is involved directly with the murders. And as manipulative as Lily was, I'm sure she has something juicy on Beth!

12. Julian's treatment of Lily is rather atrocious, especially considering how young she is when she first visits them. Why do you think he hates her so much and who do you suspect Lily's father is? (I have only read through chapter 29 for my questions, so I don't even know if that is revealed. Just curious what others are thinking about the situation.)
I was wondering just this thing! Why on earth was Julian so bitter, he just seems like a pathetic testosterone creep!

13. Lily told Beth she wanted a lot of things, including the house. Beth told Lily she hated the house to which Lily said, "That's because you don't understand it...It's an abomination that shouldn't exist...It's exactly like me." What do you think she meant by this?
Lily obviously feels unwanted, just like the house that no one loves.

14. Lily appears to have more power in the relationship between her and Beth, but based on Beth's current day ability to manipulate others, do you think Lily really is the more powerful one in their relationship? Why or why not?
I think Lily is really the more powerful one because she has nothing to lose. Beth had everything and can lose it all. Lily also has/had the experience of survival from her growing up which makes her more cunning, Beth was just lonely and unhappy.

DQs Day 2: Chap 12-19

5. Shea is trying to explain the taps being turned on and the cupboards being opened by themselves through telekinesis. If you had experienced what she did, do you think you would have tried to explain things logically or do you think you would have believed it was ghosts and left it at that?
I would have seriously considered ghosts! But first I think I would have thought another person was sneaking around the house.

6. After getting a cat, Shea calls on Michael to ask for advice on how to care for it, through the conversation she thinks about wanting to meet him. Do you think they will end up together or perhaps just remain as friends? Could Michael be interested as well?
I think they will eventually meet, it's inevitable right?!? I'm sure Michael is curious, and being newly divorced I'm sure he's a bit lonely too.

7. Mr. Greer’s former secretary tells Shea Mrs. Greer wasn’t competent and that she was "sent away somewhere when she was eighteen". Do you think she was crazy or do you have any other theories?
My first thought was that she had a psychological illness.

8. While listening to the recording of Beth’s interview Shea hears a voice in the background whispering “I am still here” and poor Winston gets spooked. Did you find this scary? Do you think cats/animals have a feel for the supernatural? If it were you, would you come back to the house after hearing that?
OH Boy this put chills up my spine! And the fact that Winston reacted really woke me up. I think I would return but not alone.

9. Finally, in order to get in the mood for more scary stuff. Have you or someone you know have any scary/ghostly experiences you might like to share?
not really....
