Task: 105 - Read a book with a red cover

Day 1 DQ's: 0-21% (ends "he opened the door.")

1. The Sundown Motel...what a perfect name for a motel! Have you ever stayed at a motel before...something like the Sundown? What was the name of the motel...Any interesting experiences come of that?
I have not, but it reminds me of Bates Motel.

2. Viv is young and working alone. I don't think I would tolerate my daughter doing anything of the sort. What were you thinking from the 1st few pages? Viv comments..."Being with people was easy, but being alone was hard. Especially along in the dark. The person who could be truly alone, in the company of no one but oneself and one's own thought--that person was stronger than anyone else. More ready. More prepared."
I'd be scared for my daughter to be in that kind of situation. Who knows what could happen.

3. What do you think the significance of the door to number 103 banging open/shut is?
I think there are some ghosts or something strange going on in that room.

4. So far Carly's mom's reaction to seeing the newspaper clipping..."Vivian is dead" has really bothered me. What's your take? Have you already solved the case? Is Vivian dead?
I don't really know.

5. What did you think about the dual timeline between Viv and Carly? In what ways are Viv and Carly very similar? How are they different?
They were both very young and seemed to be outcasts.

I really liked it. I'm interested in continuing on with the series.

Thank you!"

I'm not familiar with Space Ope..."

I have not but I've heard good things about it.

I thought this was a funny space opera

I feel like that too...

Official start / stop dates for set in GB are June 30 - July 13th. I probably won't be reading mine until close to the current scheduled end date with all the other books I need to read between now and then.

I agree with what Lisa said.

Not sure what the rules are on re-reads. Usually, they like you to wait six months.

Well I've got until mid-August to finish it so I'll be fine.

It's cool - I love Stephen Fry's narration so I'm still going for it.

I'm listening to a monster book
