11. For someone claiming and trying to be body positive about herself, Willowdean sure isn't giving anyone else any slack. Her description of Hannah, like with others, was just mean. Do you think the author is projecting Willowdean's insecurities on how she sees herself onto others?
---No, I think that is a coping mechanism for herself. This may be how she thinks others see her and this is her telling us she is aware of this,
12. What did you think about the incident Patrick kneed in the balls incident? He didn't seem like Mitch's best friend saying that (honestly, maybe Patrick and Willowdean should date). What did you think about her mom's reaction and the resulting blow up between mom & daughter?
Side note: to anyone with teenagers, we are here for you.
---What was all that about? Someone had a tough day. Things seemed to have built up and this was a way to release soms steam. Teenagers who knows what they think.
13. Did anyone else want to high five Ellen for calling out Willowdean on her crap? What did you think of their argument? Do you think the rift will be repaired? If so, do you think a Dolly Parton sing-along (thanks Cat) will be part of their healing process?
---She is the ideal person to call her out. I know I do that with my best friend to remind her that I know all about her and will call her out when needed. They are life long friends and this too shall pass. Dolly to the rescue as that is their shared bond.
14. Based on the blurb, Millie's attitude and pep talk while at the restaurant is what I would of expected from Williowdean. What do you think of these girls deciding to enter the pageant? What did you think of Millie's pep talk?
---She is the angel on Willow's shoulder. I think that their decision is a real life answer. Millie is the voice of reason.
15. Thoughts on Mitch? Where do you think his and Willowdean's relationship will go? Do you think she'll crush his poor soft heart?
--- Don't know but hopefully they can stay together.

There is a long queue for June BOMs. Might not get them in time.
Hi guys, finishing off my China book. I agree don't lime the BOM questions, have set audio book aside for now.

Ok good as I have not finished as yet. Are you / we working on Jackonary as yet. Also we get 8 points fir every Disc Workd book read so I added mine.
I think we can only use 3 Disc Books of same title for the bonus points.
DQ for Day 2Chapters 11-20
6. Picking up on the previous grief question to turn it around towards Willowdean and her mother. Will seems to think (I'm paraphrasing here) that her mother is a heartless cow and wants to use Lucy's room all to herself without any consideration whatsoever for anyone else. I can't help but wonder though if the mother isn't somehow trying to be close to Lucy - her own sister - by setting up a craft room in Lucy's space. Everyone deals with grief in their own way, and while yes, I agree with her (unlike Will) that the dusty old things will eventually need to go, I feel like she's trying to find a way to cope at the same time.
--- I think it could be both, she has her space for pageant duty and she could be in her suster's space. At some point in their youth they had to be close.
7. Will and Bo. Thoughts? More particularly, Will's reaction to finding out that Bo will start going to the same school?
--- At some point they wii get together but maybe nit at school. Will has a very good sense of self and he may be atteacted to her because if that.
8. The more I read, the more I wonder how Ellen and Will are (still) friends with the way they talk to each other. According to Will, they are drifting apart because Ellen is having sex and because of Callie (she doesn't quite say it but it is definitely there). Their interactions however do make me wonder, a lot. I feel like they're friends more because it's a habit than anything else. They're both dependent on each other - Will because she doesn't seem to have other friends and can't stay in the pool alone? Ellen because she needs a back-up when she goes to pick up her pay check?) What do you make of their friendship now that we know more. Irreparable rift? Habit? Undying friendship?
--- They are destined to be life long friends buf they will go through stirms to stay together. Ellen is growing up and doing normal teen stuff. Will is not growing as fast as her and feels left behind.
9. And this inevitably brings me to Will's interactions with Callie. It seems like Callie is at least trying, even though there is the fat-girl-issue, but she isn't completely ignoring Will, unlike Will herself, who barely manages to be civil to the girl. Sure, I completely understand the jealousy of thinking that someone is stealing your (best) friend from you, but it isn't helping Will's case that she is basically being a douche to the girl.
--- That is typical teen jealously. I have felt like that at some point.
10. Did anyone else have that moment of "oh shit, something really terrible is going to happen on the date" when Ellen and Tim tell Will that Patrick Thomas is Mitch's best friend. Or is it just me who thinks that there is a very obvious lack of mobbing and finger-pointing? Not that this is a bad thing, on the contrary! Though I do find it odd since Will has A LOT of issues and basically hates people who are not Ellen (and Bo).
--- didn't think anything about it.
