Groovy Lee I saw this game on another forum and it's interesting. The question is, what would you do if something happened to you? You answer the question then ask a different question for the next reader starting with--what would you do if? I'll start first:

What would you do if the world ran out of coffee?


message 2: by Angel (new)

Angel Drink tea.. ;)

What would you do if...

Cell phones were banned worldwide?

What would you do if you couldn't leave your house for a year?

Groovy Lee stock up on paper and pens to write my next book, and plug up the Roku:)

What would you do if the latest Sports Illustrated cover model came to your door looking for your boyfriend/husband?


message 5: by Angel (new)

Angel Pack his dirty socks, his PS4 and Destiny and wave goodbye. His checkbook would still be mine and the grass isn't always greener somewhere else...! LOL :)

What would you do if...
You were only given 3 months to live?
(dark I know but I think it's an interesting question)

what would you do if you had the power to end world hunger, but you would age twenty years in the process?

What would you do if you woke up one morning with no idea who you were?


message 11: by Brianna (new)

Brianna Andreda | 121 comments Try to figure out who I am and if that doesn't work probably just start a new life. I wonder if they could just give me a new identity. Just walk into the social security building like "I need a new social security card, but I forgot who I am." Then again I don't know they might stick me in an asylum.

What would you do if you were told exactly where and when to go to meet your true love but you overslept?


message 12: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee Get down on my knees and pray that he overslept too!

Tejasvi Mehta (tej2091) | 3 comments I would save someone and die knowing that that someone would try to make a better living for themselves and others...many lives touched!!

What would you do if you could read other people's mind???


message 17: by Groovy (last edited Apr 03, 2015 11:27AM) (new)

Groovy Lee I'd wrap my head in foil. I don't want to read other people's minds.

What would you do if you were watching the evening news and your face appeared on the ten most wanted list?


message 18: by Alix (new)

Alix Fish | 5 comments I'd probably have an asthma attack and then turn myself in just so I could know what I'd done!

What would you do if everything you said meant the opposite?


message 19: by Nellie ☾ (new)

Nellie ☾ (derpnerys) Um, then I'd probably say the opposite of what I mean but I'd have to really be careful xD

Chelsey Stonehouse Ask my cat if she was in any pain at the age of 20 and why she meows and insists on being fed at 3am.

What would you do if you could predict the future?


message 26: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee Oh, but I can (wink-wink)For those that will listen, good. For those that won't, well, I tried.

If you're a parent, you can predict the future if your children start down a road you've sadly already been and you know what the outcome will be. (I just had to say that:)

What would you do if every night you went to sleep, you would have to relive Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds"?


message 27: by Priya (last edited Apr 14, 2015 06:09AM) (new)

Priya (aadhu) | 9 comments I'd either go crazy and undergo psychiatric treatment or somehow become mentally stronger because I would know what to expect every night once I fall asleep (just like "A Nightmare on Elm Street") and afterwards when I do, try to find a safe place in my dream world where the birds could never harm me and stay there untill I finally wake up.


What would you do if the person you love the most destroyed the thing you love the most? (To me, this would mean my mother burning my books.)


message 28: by Chelsey (new)

Chelsey Stonehouse I would destroy the things they loved the most every time they destroyed something of mine.

What would you do if you lost your job, and no one else would hire you?


message 29: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee I'd get a degree and do what I've always wanted, whether it's writing, or opening my own business. Everyone has a talent, go for it.

What would you do if you were given the chance to go back in time and talk to yourself at sixteen?


message 30: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee David wrote: "I would tell my self to make everyday with my mom count. She died when I was 16.

Sorry, David.

Anyway, if I were given that million dollars, here's what I would do: I would just "give" the money to strangers that needed it: I would go to Africa and spend it directly on the starving kids who are strangers to me, I would give it to the strangers whose house just burned to the ground, or who just lost their jobs, etc., etc.

What would you do if you were given the choice of your dream "soul mate" or your dream job?



message 31: by Sophie (new)

Sophie | 20 comments I'd go for the job. With retirement a long way away I'd be thrilled to go to work every day doing a job I loved. And if my soul mate were really my soul mate then we'd find a way to be together anyway :)

What would you do if you woke up one morning to find that zombies had taken over?


message 32: by meghann (new)

meghann (megs182) | 11 comments I would find a traveling circus and begin my new life as The Incredible Lizard Girl.

What would you do if you had the chance to kill baby Hitler? I still can't believe that was blowing up social media yesterday.


message 33: by J (new)

J I... I couldn't do it. I'd kidnap him instead and try to raise him on my own in a way that kept him from developing his ideologies. Or something like that.

What would you do if you got sucked into the world of the book you're currently reading?


message 34: by Andrea (last edited Oct 24, 2015 12:04PM) (new)

Andrea (typicaltimes) | 4 comments I'd most likely freak everyone out by telling them their future XD

What would you do if the guy at the corner store gave you £10 (or dollars) extra change?


message 35: by [deleted user] (new)

I would give it back. I believe that what goes around comes around and even if he doesn't appreciate it I Will see my compensation through another way.

What would you do if reading became illegal?


message 36: by Julie (new)

Julie  Webb | 6 comments Get some ammo to defend my library with my life, start hiding everybook I can in the most crazy places in hopes that they won't be found, try to share them so people get that books important, necessary, and culture preservers where great ideas and beleifs come from.

What would you do if time travel were real?


message 37: by Chelsey (new)

Chelsey Stonehouse I would go back in to the 1800s and find a family to bring back to our days and see what they thought of the changes the world has made and how we have developed. Then I would go with them back to their days for 2 days at the most. I would be getting pretty hungry by then so I would have to come back because I'm not eating their food lol.

What would you do if you could hear everyone's thoughts?

People did the exact same scenario you described when certain books were banned back in history--like the Bible...

Back to question: I would go and get my prescription strengthened:)

What would you do if you found out you were kidnapped at birth by your parents?


message 39: by Fiona (new)

Fiona (figra) | 1 comments I would think "Well that explains a lot!" Then I would try to track down my birth family, and stalk them for a bit, before deciding if I would introduce myself (you never know, my folks might have had a good reason for doing what they did!)

What would you do if you could enter and live in any one book of your choosing, BUT it meant you could never read another book again?


message 40: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee Good one, but also unfair to book nerds. So I'll let someone else tackle this one...


message 41: by Olivia (new)

Olivia (kaze2796) | 3 comments Wow... That's a tough one. I think I'll choose NOT to enter any book. I'll have to imagine myself in them then.

What would you do if you have to choose between your favourite book and a Kindle filled with thousands of books?


message 42: by Marcia (new)

Marcia (Marcia_1983) | 3 comments Hmm... first I don't have a Kindle but a Sony reader full of books... I bought it to avoid keep on going and returning from my trips with so many books...
but the truth is that I still prefer to get hit on my head (when falling asleep) by a book than by my ebook reader.....

What would you do or what do you actually do when you are about to finish a book and someone is continuosly asking for your attention?


message 43: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee If someone wanted my attention that much, say a family member, I would count it a blessing. I would close the book and give them my full attention. The book will always be there, a loved one may not.

Now if it's a customer or workmate, I would still close the book just to get whatever they need over with so I could return to it...

What would you ask for if you were given only one wish, and you couldn't ask for more wishes?


message 44: by Seema M. (new)

Seema M. Fazil (brotherlyloveisbeautiful) | 25 comments I would wish for someone to get me a lot of Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books as gifts for my birthday

What would you do if you had to go without electricity for a week?


message 46: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee What? No internet? No television? No air conditioner (heat)? Not even a ceiling fan to cool you off? Can't charge my cell phone? Walk around in the house with candles and flashlights? No way to cook my food?

I would sit on the bed and slowly die until the end of the week:)

What would you do if you woke up one morning and the world had turned into the Living Dead?


message 47: by MaWhit (new)

MaWhit  (mawhit) I'd hole up and read something funny. Denial and all that.

What would you do if you could not access the internet for a year?


message 48: by Katie (last edited Jul 31, 2016 06:01AM) (new)

Katie | 31 comments Continue reading but source the books from friends, neighbors, wherever but really miss internet.

What would you do if all restaurants were closed?


message 49: by Rori (new)

Rori (rori_mischke) | 7 comments Miss them for awhile but eventually understand that I'm now saving money and eating better because I have to cook it myself.

What would you do if you went blind?

I'd like to answer this one, too: Breathe a sigh of relief that there are a lot less germs in the world.

What would I do if I went blind?

After my grieving stage, learn how to live with it...

What would you do if a cousin you didn't like and barely talked to won the Super Lottery?
