A little worried but slightly excited… I’m reading The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R Tolkien right now lol
@Squared's I think I would feel the same. Reading Treasure Island! ☠️
Worried, but excited fits for sure. Thanks for the answer. 🙂
Terrified. But then I’m reading a book about how victims of terrible disasters and horrendous crimes have survived and thrived after having their lives changed instantly in a moment
Yes for “The Lightening Thief” I love the whole half-blooded Gods thing. not so much for “10% Happier”
Ooohhh I don’t know ?? this book is interesting but hard because it’s so intricate. I’m reading Black Leopard Red Wolf by Marlon James
What kind of background is it in?
@Becky it’s myth, fantasy and history all set in Africa
There’s a tracker known for his skills as a hunter trying to find a mysterious boy who has disappeared. He ends up part of a group. They get set upon by creatures – fight for survival. Everything is surrounding this mysterious boy
@Chante it’s on my TBR! Is it any good so far?
@Imani so far yes! It’s taking me a bit to reach my stride, but I’m finding a good groove now that I’m getting used to his writing. This is my first book him.
Kind of scared. I’m reading Year One by Nora Roberts.
I’ve never read it. What kind of situation are you “living in”?
It’s an end of the world type book. A virus sweeps across the world so those who survive are having to start over.
Would love it, because I could learn how to make sourdough bread and in my other book, know what 1916 was like for women, okay I might not love that, but it would be interesting, especially if I’m a woman deputy.
It’s a horror book so probably not so great.
Peculiar…I’m reading Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.
Scared, there’s going to be a massive war!
Sad. It’s tales of a traveling cat. It’s a melancholy book and I’m about to give up and pick an easier happier read.
Pretty traumatized… “The Stand” by King ?
@Amy my fav book ever! It starts with the sniffles….
I’d be traumatized too!
Dead and cannibalized: The Silence of the Lambs
Not great. Reading Mockingjay ?
Pretty stressed out lol
Lol, @Becky, I would be in the trunk of a BMW with an undercover CIA agent getting felt up!! ? this book is taking me a while as I’m also going to school so it cuts in to reading time.
Wow…lol
Angry
Game of Thrones
Pretty excited, but stressed out and sleep deprived.
Not too far into mine right now, but it’s about certain people getting their magic abilities back!
On the hand positively dreamy, on the other, my feminist nerve would be triggered! Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen.
I just finished the ninth book in Beverly Jenkins’ Blessing series so I’d be living in Henry Adams, Kansas and I think I’d be loving it!!
The beantown girls honestly it is ww2 so no
I’m in so much trouble… I’m currently reading the Librarian of Auschwitz ???
It’s SO good!
Reading Why We Can’t Wait by MLK Jr… If I lived during his time I’d feel depressed. Segregation was going on and I’m sure we had people yelling, “Why can’t they just follow the law?” Kinda like we do now. ?
Great! I would be surrounded by dogs and hot guys and big family. I’m reading the Dogfather Series by Roxanne St Claire
In a blizzard without an inhaler…….not good?
It wouldn’t be pretty, I would either have a missing child or be blamed for losing the missing child ?
A little overwhelmed! I’m reading the second book in “The Invisible Library” series and the world’s are deeefinitely exciting and chaotic with sooo much going on.
I think this is the trilogy I have. What is the 2nd book that you are reading called?
Anxious! Ruthless assassins and heartless criminals.
I’m already anxious. I can’t imagine this!
Pretty scared. Don’t think I would be able to compete with magic ninja warriors
Hey, maybe you could be one of them! 🙂
@Becky I’m way too clumsy and like cake way too much to be a true ninja
LOL That made me smile and I’m having a bad day. Thanks for that. 🙂 Feel free to add me if you want. I post about books I’m reading all the time.
I’m reading Intensity by Koontz, umm I don’t think I’d be happy, if I was even alive
“Queen Of The Damned,” so either I’m a vampire and terrified of suddenly bursting into flames, or I’m a seriously a confused human wondering why people keep spontaneously combusting lol
I think I’d rather be confused. Although…I’d be terrified one would be trying to drink my blood.
I dont handle confusion well XD I’d rather take the risk of being bitten and at least ending it quickly if I end up bursting into flames haha
True…I guess it would be hard to figure out which way to go for me. Of course, what if you were just sucked into the book and thrown into one character or another?
@Becky hmmmm. If I ended up becoming a character, I’d cross my fingers to be Gabrielle haha. Strong but not the main focus of danger and also spared from death!
Since I’m the middle of Alison Weir’s book about The Wives of Henry VIII, I think I would be praying not to catch Henry’s wandering eye.
Agreed!
I’m reading the Handmaids Tale. I would be feeling super angry and depressed.
I’m currently reading a retelling of Alice in the Wonderland. So I would be pretty happy unless I’m near the Red Queen ?

@Becky I’m reading a comic book version called wonderland by Tommy Kovac ? it’s really fun to read !
I’m in The Graveyard Book and just got captured by ghouls!
Sea Lo Que Sea I’m loving it! It’s so much fun. I just finished a heavy read and this is just what my brain needs.

Bat-shit crazy scared!!! I’m reading Those Who Save Us
Book one: In awe. I want to believe in mermaids. I used to want to be one.
Book two: Disgusted, angry, and fearful. How can anyone treat children this way?!
Book three: Looking for a place to hide. It is illegal for me to exist in this era. I do not know if my parents would have even met.
Book four: I could never be a cop.
@Flo now I need to know which books you read!
Haha. A bit of everything, Tiffany Rupe.

I an reading the 7th anne of green gables book and I would be in Ingleside and I’m quite sure that would be second best to heaven itself.
I’d be fucked in The Falconer series by Elizabeth May. Fighting faeries and living in the 1840s? I’d die for sure ?
Terrified! The Blitz, London.

Sad. Uncertain. Probably worried about friends and relations. Reading The Apparitionists – about the Spiritualist Movement and spirit photography in the United States during and shortly after the Civil War. People were traumatized by so much death – sudden death at that – and were looking for what we’d call closure today. https://www.npr.org/2017/10/11/555689728/-the-apparitionists-raises-the-specters-that-haunt-america
The Yiddish Policemen’s Union: sightly confused, then sleepy.
