Favorite character?

Andii (violinistmichirukaioh) | 77 comments Kim is amazing. I can't wait to read the ending.. I'm almost there. lol It's a short book but def worth reading.


Gisbelle Loved her too :) I wish I had a friend like that :D


Andii (violinistmichirukaioh) | 77 comments Just finished it today. I love the ending. :) I can't wait to read Where She Went!

thank you for mentioning the comparison between the two books. I liked the first one, but not enough to grab the second book. So your opinion gave me a little nudge to read it after all. :)


Deepika (deepika3) I liked the first one more... But a few scenes in book 2 were heartbreaking..! :'(

I don't know what is wrong with me!???! I didn't get into book 1. It's sad, But It's Not Heart-Breaking! I didn't feel anything much! Something definitely wrong with me! I gotta Re-read!!


Gisbelle No nothing is wrong with you, Pang. Different people react differently to a certain book :D


Deepika (deepika3) The liking of the book depends on so many factors..! The lighting,place,time etc etc.. Even the previous read book matters..

Screw Law of Variable Proportions.. They should teach this in school! :P

Pang on Speed Clearing Books, Miss You!! | 93 comments Yeah!! That's why I have to Re-read!! :P Maybe I will like it more! :P


Gisbelle It frustrates me when people love some books and when I read them..Meh... no tingling feeling or butterflying fluttering in the stomach.


Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) If you were in Mia's place, would you leave or stay?
And why?


Gisbelle I can't imagine living by myself after the rest of the family gone so suddenly like this. I would live in depression for the rest of my life. So I think I would leave.


Deepika (deepika3) For sure I would not stay..!
I cant even imagine staying back...
I wouldnt even think of another choice..


harshini  (watchmeread) | 523 comments I would probably leave! I don't have grandparents to save me!


Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) I think I'm the only one who answers stay.


Gisbelle May we know why, Beatrice?

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) I want to leave too like you guys answered and with the same reason. Life will never be the same without them..

I stay because nothing is permanent. People come and go.. If it's really our time, then it's God's will and let him decide what's our fate. I just thought when someone dies, he/she may be gone physically.. but in heart and mind, they will remain forever.

I guess the only thing I need to do is spend every second with those people I love, because no one knows the time. Who will leave or who will stay.


Gisbelle I love your answer. It is very reasonable to stay as well.


harshini  (watchmeread) | 523 comments I love your answer. But I guess at my age I seriously do not know what I do without them. But in your point it is pretty reasonable


Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) Yes, and as much as possible.. I don't want to think about them gone.. It's hard to think or focus on things without them.

I've read this one book For One More Day by Mitch Albom oh well.. it makes me guilty.. I don't know if you guys have read it.


Gisbelle I haven't read it yet.


harshini  (watchmeread) | 523 comments That book sounds amazing, a tear jerker


Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) It's a good book.. It's like when you lost someone, what would you do if you could spend one more day with him/her..


Gisbelle Aww... it sounds so sad :(


Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) it involves a mother and a son.. The story is sad and I feel guilty about it.

I totally agree with you. I think I'll probably stay too.

Go Beatrice! I'm with you there. I'll stay too. :)


Jessica | 6 comments I would stay.. Even though my immediate family was gone, I still have grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts, & friends I consider family to live with.

Also I would stay because I know my immediate family would beat my butt if they found out I went because they were gone. I know they would want me to stay & live a full life even without them.

My thoughts exactly..! My relatives are family too..
But.. I have two elder brothers.. My life revolves around them!
I really dont wanna wake up in a world where they wont be around to pull my hair and bore me to death by talking about football..!


harshini  (watchmeread) | 523 comments Hahaha! Same here! But I love football! How can you not?


Gisbelle :D I don't like football much either XD


harshini  (watchmeread) | 523 comments What!?!? *shake-head*


Gisbelle Come on!!! :) The sport is not my cup of tea. It is *sorry* a bit boring :P
