DQs: Day 1, Chap 1 - 61. I'm so excited to be reading another John Scalzi book with you all. He has quickly become one of my "always read" authors. Is this your first Scalzi book? What are your expectations?
Yes, this is my first Scalzi book. I have no real expectations going in…
2. What are your first impressions of Charlie? Do you think he is using his sad life events as an excuse to coast through life easier as his siblings and attorney seem to imply? Do you relate to him so far?
I’m having a hard time liking Charlie! I mean, who realistically expects a bank to loan him millions with no collateral? He strikes me as both a whiner and an opportunist so far.
3. “When people name cats, they usually do it in one of three categories: food, physical characteristics or mythology,” Morrison explained. What do you think Mathilda imagines Charlie's choice of "the goddess route" says about him? What sort of name would you choose and what do you think that could tell someone about you?
I’m definitely of the food school of thought having had a ‘Muffin’ cat. Maybe the goddess route means Charlie has delusions of grandeur?
4. What would your reaction be if a rich, but estranged family member left you a huge inheritance?
I would be like COOL! But only if there were no strings attached…
I still have 2 more to go! Almost finished with both. Olga Dies Dreaming and There There. Should be done by tomorrow! I will save the 2 BOMs for our last round. I know I can only get credit for answering DQs for Violin.
BTW does Olga look like an orange cover???

I’ve just started battling a cold & I have such watery eyes, it’s hard to read! I’m home from work, so I shall persevere…Question: if I were to read The Violin Conspiracy and/or Starter Villain now, would we still get extra credit? I ordered them from the library & just got ‘em now. Lemme know, please!
