Anima Miejska | 1698 comments I would definitely change few crucial desicions, although it's difficult to say whether it would change my presence for the better or for worse, all in all you never know what the alternatives lead to.

What is the last book that you read? How many stars would you give it?


message 154: by Jojo (new)

Jojo (jojosbooknook) | 717 comments The last book I read was Close Your Eyes I gave it 3 stars. It wasn't up to her usual standards and I found myself bored with parts of it, or maybe I'm starting to get bored of the genre?

If you could travel in to the future, when would you go to? Why?


message 155: by Anima (new)

Anima Miejska | 1698 comments I would gladly see how my children and grandchildren would do, so I would move forward around 50, 80 years. That's my first choice, I'm a little bit scared of looking further as it's difficult for me to imagine the future in 200 or 300 years. Kat from Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan comes to my mind, when I think of this question LOL.

@Joanne they make blister band-aids and there is this New stuff, kind of like a glue stick that you put on your skin where the shoe is rubbing your foot. I've actually used a glue stick in a pinch.good luck!
