Sometimes I'll quiz myself on details or endings just so I don't forget!zannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331351853662489682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662203671583091505.post-25091107966928449392012-05-22T11:23:42.636-04:002012-05-22T11:23:42.636-04:00I forget stuff too.

So, because I had the opportunity to relive things through that, I'm still the go-to girl in my hometown group of friends whenever they can't remember events. AND OH, how I wish I could forget!! <br /><br />However, with books, unless they really blow me away or unless I've read them a bazillion times, I don't remember tons of little details. I think I read too fast!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14461782163623891657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662203671583091505.post-78410065100179410842012-05-22T10:56:12.400-04:002012-05-22T10:56:12.400-04:00Sara.

My memory is horrible, especially when it comes to books and movies. I just had to read a synopsis of DIVERGENT because I'm about to start INSURGENT and can't remember a bit of what happened in the first book. How is that possible?! Anyway, great post, lady. Looking forward to more! :)Katy Uppermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725740174190514869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662203671583091505.post-69018179157273069292012-05-22T10:18:52.438-04:002012-05-22T10:18:52.438-04:00Haha...I love how you put a positive spin on '...Haha...I love how you put a positive spin on 'empty brain.' That's what I call my lack of memory. It's so bad, sometimes. Stupid, really. I mean, I do have four kids clogging up all the to-dos and dids and would-like-to-dos in my head. But they haven't eaten all my brain function yet. At least I hope not... ;DS.A.

Of course, some are worth rereading regardless. :)Rebecca Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12138361115317776477noreply@blogger.com
