bamaace83 ’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I'm catching up all the questions. I finished the book last week but just haven't had time to answer questions yet.

1. We start with a bit of a bang. Did you have any first impressions of what was going on? Time travel? Parallel universe? Delusions? Something else?
I was thinking it was going to be a book where we saw time travel. I wasn't quite sure how the entire book was going to play out.

2. What do you think having FMS is like? Why do you think it seems to be contagious, and how?
I bet having FMS is super difficult. I couldn't even imagine having two lives running through my brain and not totally knowing which one was the current one. I think it's contagious because once you're in another person's memory/world then you gain FMS.

3. The main characters are both dealing with loss; Barry with his daughter, and Helena with her mother’s memories. How do you think what they have gone through is affecting their careers and their lives?
I think it's hard to deal with grief in general. I think it tugs on their emotions and they are trying to deal with life every day while still trying to have a piece of the life they once knew that made them extra happy.

4. Why do you think Slade is going all in on funding Helena’s research? Something personal, or just financial?
I thought Slade had a personal reason for wanting to pursue the funding. Not many people are going to put that kind of money in a project without having a personal reason for doing so.

5. Is there a moment that you would go back to to start over? Share if you wish to.
I think there are moments all the time that I'm like what would happen if but at the same time going back to change a moment would lead me on an entirely different path. I would love to go back and have some more moments with some of the family members that have passed away. I wouldn't totally change the outcomes just be able to have more concrete memories to pull back on.


6. Lots of stuff happens in Book 1. What do you think so far? Any Ideas on what comes next?
I think it's going okay but I've realized that I really just don't love science fiction. I was curious to see how the characters would play out and the story line would continue to emerge.


7. On a lighter note, would you prefer drinking Old Grand-Dad and Coors, or the ’47 Cheval Blanc?
And, did anyone else keep thinking of chipmunks when Helena was being mean to the mice?

If I was dying of thirst or having to drink one of those things, I would probably go with Coors but it would need to be really really cold. I tend to drink craft beer or a good red wine. Hehe, nope I didn't think of any chipmunks while reading that part.

I'm reading a quick book for the letter H. That means we would just need a T book for the word "than."

For next round, I'm going to tackle 6 if "A Man Called Ove" can be counted because I need to get that book out of my to be read list. I'll also take care of 10. I'm going to do some research to see what I can find out about books for 7.

Hey Celia! Welcome to our group. Let us know if you have any questions.

Those sound good for me. I try to like them and some dystopia or fantasy I like but sometimes they are just hard for me to get into. Maybe I just have to be feeling those type books and right now it's just not there. I'm about to read the Size 12 Is Not Fat.

I read the book Recursion. I really hate sci-fi. This is becoming more and more evident by two of the books that I have read over the weekend. I need to answer three sets of questions so that we can count it as a regeneration book for 15 points. I'm good with whatever words we want to spell out. I'm going to find a book series that I can fast read and hopefully get a couple more books especially since I'm working 12 hours days the rest of the week since I was off two days.

I can read Recursion today while we are driving back home.

Title begins with the letter O

Yes thanks! That would be great.

Sure that sounds good to me. I finished my book but won’t have a way to post it until tonight bc I’m on my phone not my computer.

I will read a book for 10 this morning and I'll see what I can find for 2.

Oops I was reading a book off that list also. Which book do I need to read so we can finish the countdown or are they all taken care of? I can look for a book for the next section instead. I'll be in the car tomorrow for 5 hours and should be able to knock out a couple books then.

I will have my next book posted this afternoon. Sure, if you want to reach out to the next one that would be great. I've been watching this nasty hurricane and I hope June is okay.

I think Natasha is asking someone and we are waiting on word if they are joining us. I’m currently working on a book for the 1001 books to read before you die if you wanna count your book for African American author. I can read another before Sunday I’m sure. I think if we finish round one we could maybe start on round two before Sunday but I’m not exactly sure how all that works. How are you doing with the hurricane? I’m going home to Alabama Saturday through Tuesday and am glad we are coming back to Kentucky before it hits Alabama

Thanks! I'm halfway through my second book and should finish it tonight and then I can start my third tomorrow.

Okay I will pick a book off that list to read if I need to. it fits a different challenge that I've been working on this year also. Would anyone be able to pick up the 400 page book?
