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

I’ll try to get my 13 done by this evening. Will that work?

Rebecca that would be good☺️ it’s the end of the Lemony Snicket series for me, so I would love to finish it out.

I also found a 13 that I can read. Sorry I haven’t had any others. We’re at family’s for the holidays ... difficult week to read at all ☹️

Sorry, I haven’t chimed it. Seems like everyone has this one under control 😉☺️

Tough for me too, no long books for sure. I’ll look at my series books and post when I look.

Mary- did you like Under the Dome?

I have others if needed, lots of characters!

Wow Vicki! You are a testament to a strong woman❤️ sounds like your kids have a great momma, and grandkids too. Not many people these days that put their children first in their lives.
My husband and I take our boys to music performances , with 2 band kids in the house, they really love it. We went to an orchestra performance of Star Wars, was so cool! They have a Harry Potter one that would have been awesome, but we’re out of town 😞
Off to our first college tour!
I finished Outlander and will post in a bit, lots of characters for letters.

Exactly everyone! My boys are 16, 17 & 17. I was their go to person until 13. Now if I’m quiet around them stuff will come out, mostly about other kids but every so often a heart to heart comes about. The night before my exam my 16 year old bore his heart to me, without hesitation I pushed my books away and listened. It was a real conversation about how hurtful other kids can be and his heart was broken. After we talked we both felt better and now he’s back to his goofy and secretive self. But I’m happy to know he still wants to share once in a while.
I’m guessing I’ll get them back when they go away to college😜 ironic huh?
We are touring our first of 3 colleges tomorrow. Such a reality smack! Seems like mine were just 4 & 5 yesterday. Loved those days but remember how hard they could be too.
Off to dinner... I snuck some Outlander in during the drive 🤣😂 hee hee, I love my earbuds! And thank goodness too, yikes that book got pretty graphic 😢

Hey all! I’m on the road with the fam for the holidays. I’ll be on my phone until after Thanksgiving .
Not getting much reading done on the road trip , but I won’t complaint because it means my teenagers are wanting to chat ☺️ I will finish Outlander in the next couple of days and I’m working on another ebook. Could possibly get in a 4th book😁

DQ Day 5 - Chapters 26-31

20. We now know who the father of the twins is. Have you suspected him? Do you think that the way they have discovered it was too accidental/not very realistic?
I had no idea, and it explains Ryan's weird behavior!

21. How do you think why did Sadie lie about who the father of the twins was? Was it only because he was a married man and she didn't want to ruin his family?
I'm sure Sadie lied to protect the kids from scandal. She wasn't living there and maybe she didn't want to kids to want go back to a town where she had such bad memories

22. Ellery now has Kyle and Liz as her suspects. Do you agree with her? Or do you have somebody else in mind?
I'm not completely sure of either of those suspects.

23. Malcolm invites Ellery to a clown museum, which sounds very interesting to me. Would you like to visit such a museum? Or have you visited a similiar or other non-traditional museum?
um, so weird! but I would like to go see it. I love museums, but usually science types.

Day 4 - Discussion Questions

16. It seems that one character has so far flown under the radar and yet to me is highly suspicious. The Policeman, Ryan Rodriguez has been in every scene and yet only at the end of this section is he coming under Ellery’s suspicion, I think he may be working alone or in concert with other characters – Why might I be thinking this and who might he be working with?
I wondered if he was hiding something. I think he knows more than he is letting on.

17. Why did Sarah go missing? She wasn’t in the homecoming court so why her? Is the reason for this the reason Sadie feels so guilty?
Who knows why it was Sarah, that is the big mystery. It seems the suspect is picking the homecoming court because they are in the forefront of the HS news. Maybe to really be dramatic.

18. Viv changes her mind about a connection between what happened previously and what is happening now she is quoted as saying “Even if someone was unhinged enough to get away with murder and brag about it five years later, the MOs are completely different” Why do you think she changes her mind and do you think she is right about there being no connection?
no idea.... This is not an easily solved mystery. I'm guessing more clues will be given soon.

19. Everything started after the death of the teacher on the overpass – do you think there is a connection between that and the developing storyline . Do you think Malcolm, Ellery and Ezra will tell someone what they have found out?
Yes, I do suspect a connection. He seemed to be a teacher liked by all the students. I don't think it was a coincidence. I don't think they will tell because this is a YA novel and teens never seem to have good sense in these types of books ;D LOL

Day 3: Chapters 12-19

11. So we've heard from Sadie again! (every time I hear her name she reminds me of Sadie by Courtney Summers and I have to keep reminding myself: wrong book sis)
I wonder if substance abuse is the only thing she struggles with, or if there's more to her. She feels a bit off to me... Is she hiding something, or is that just who she is? Do you think she knows or at least has an idea of what happened to her sister? Why does she not want to talk about Sarah at all, and why did she leave Echo Ridge? Would you have left?... Is she even still at the institute?
I do think of the same Sadie! But with an age difference. Yes, Sadie is definitely off.
She lost a twin sister, and is deeply scarred. I had an identical twin sister who died at the age of 2 due to health issues. It is very different for me not having shared memories or any memories for that matter. yet, I do always ache for a sister I never had, also never having any other siblings.
I'm almost positive that she doesn't talk of Sarah because it is her way of dealing with it. Within the context of this book , I'm sure there are other reasons. But life is never so dramatic, right?


12. Even though Sadie has hardly ever been back to Echo Ridge, I have a feeling Ellery and Ezra's dad might be from there. Do you think we have met the twins' father by now? Could it be Vance, or Peter, or somebody else completely? (I actually have a theory, and it's neither of the guys I just mentioned lol)
I do wonder about their father and am suspecting the same. I've wondered about both Vance and Peter

13. Viv has been acting very strangely towards Ellery. What is her problem? Do you think she's jealous of Ellery for getting nominated for Prom Queen, or that she has kind of gotten into their friend group without even trying?
Viv and all the girls in her group are just mean bullies. I do think they are all jealous

14. I can't stop thinking about what happened in the past. First Sarah went missing, then years later Lacey vanished and had been found dead shortly after. Do you think Sarah shared the same fate, or is she still out there somewhere? Are their cases related? And then Mr. Bowman has been killed in a hit and run - what a nice introduction to town our twins had here. Do you think this is connected to everything else that's been going on in town, with Daisy and Declan being back, etc.?
I do find it odd but think the span across the years makes it difficult to be the same person committing the crimes, but then again it is a book! I think it is the town that remains the problem.

15. Just like Viv, Brooke has been acting weirdly as well, but I don't think it has anything to do with Ellery. She seemed worn down when El sat with the girls at lunch, and Mr. Bowman's death seemed to get to her way more than to her peers. Do you think she had anything to do with the hit and run, or maybe was involved with the late teacher? Is this why she was so agitated at the party? Where do you think she vanished to when she slept over at Katrin's the week before but was gone for at least 20 minutes?
I definitely suspect that Brook and Katrin had something to do with Bowman's death. They are acting way too guilty.

I sent links in messages, check your mail. If you still didn’t get a message let me know if you need a link.

I’ll see if I can send a link

Ah, Mary that’s one I want to re-read. Too many books!!! I’m hoping to get to Pet Semetary soon, I read it back in the 80’s. Yes, I’m old🤣

Yes Mary, NBRC standard spell out rules 😉

I’m planning on reading Outlander, which would make a good O for a word.
