Don't Fear The Reaper Read-Along Week 1

Chapters 1-5 hosted by Christy@ Loves Books


1.  Ch 1 – We meet some of Charley’s ghostly “buddies,” do you believe you have ever had a ghostly encounter?

Well I don't really believe in ghosts but I have had this weird thing happen to me twice where I wake up out of a dream and I see someone in my room for a second until my eyes adjust. It happened once where a lady was standing in front of my vanity and then again where a man was lying in bed next to me. It was scary lol My roommate used to swear we had a ghost because she kept seeing a man in bed with her and then when our friend spent the night she said she saw him to and this was without my friend ever telling her about him.

2.  Ch 2 – Charley named her jeep Misery.  Have  you ever named your vehicles?  What did you name them?


 
Oh yes we named her tin can/tin cammy because she looked like a tin can. My old hideous 87 Toyota Camry that I mobbed in as a teenager. Then she was stolen and I cried but then I partied cause I finally got my cute sporty Mitsubishi Eclipse that I dreamed of for years and years. I still had some great memories in her as well as my friends car which we called Junky. Miss those guys! lol Before I had tin cammy I had The Boat which was an old lady car with a big hood that my friends called the boat since it was as big as a boat. My grandma has a Lincoln Town call which we call The Ship since it is even bigger than a boat. My friends and I actually nickname everything and everyone.

3.  Ch 3 – Charley says her name “…brooks no opposition. It takes shit from no one.”  What do you think your name says about you to strangers?  Is there a different name that you think would suit you better?

Jennifer is boring and says nothing about me except I'm probably plain and boring. I'm not sure what name would better suit me but I was almost named Audra but then my dad named me instead.

4.  Ch 4 – Charley says her best friend Cookie is “like Kramer from Seinfeld, only not so nervous, like Kramer might have been on Prozac.”  Give us your best description of your best friend.  How would they would describe you?

I'd say we are a lot alike and would say the same about each other. We are a pretty goofy bunch. I would say my friends are fun and honest and young at heart.

5.  Ch 5 – Garrett is reluctant to believe in Charley’s abilities, how would you react if a friend divulged to you that they can see and speak with the dead?

I would want them to prove it somehow I'm sure. And by the way I love Garrett!

  1. I think everyone either had or knew someone with a BOAT.

    I wonder what shifted for Garrett. He was annoyed, curious and then all the sudden HOT for Charley.

  7. The ghostly encounter would completely freak me out! Did you and roommate move? I know that would be the first thing I'd do because I'm such a coward. LOL!

  8. Jennifer's not a bad name - plus, Jen and Jenny are both cute nicknames!

    And btw, I've always wanted a Mitsubishi Eclipse! They look awesome! That's the car I'm hoping to get....one day...
