Be Good
What I liked. Enjoyed the real life feel. Almost like I was reading about a person and not a figment of someone’s imagination.What were the main relationships explored in this book? Trust and change.
Favourite location / setting … Brett showing Anna the guest room and telling her he will not sleep with her. Shows he respects her and not interested in just something physical. He is looking for that deeper part in relationships.

Amidst Traffic
What part would you change in the story, and why? Authors write a book/novel and we as readers try to solve/see the message. There is always a reason for how a book was written. I would not change a thing in Amidst Traffic. Sauret provided a very deep read and I enjoyed it. What problems does one of the characters have, and how does he or she solve it? The story “The Problem with My Shoes”, Scott believes his shoes are talking to him. He admits himself. But does he ever really come to terms with his talking shoes or is he just imagining it?
How did you feel about the main character? I liked Thomas. Unsure if he should be classified as the main character, but I felt empathy for his home life. He was just a kid trying to get ahead, escape a bad situation, and understand the big meaning of life. I believe he got 2 out of 3 in that.

Our Little Secrets: 1 (Montana Romance)
If you could continue the story, what events would you include? I personally would not continue the story. Everything was wrapped up nicely and all characters seemed at peace during the final chapter.Is the plot well-developed? Most of this story is well developed. However, I do not believe people would be able to overlook a character like Phineas or a very forward female like Charlie.
List the places mentioned in the book. Chicago, Cold Springs, Montana, Philly, St. Louis, the bank, general store, hotel

The Italian Connection 1 (Dojo Boys, #4)
Share a quote or two from the book. Not exactly a spoken out loud quote but I enjoyed reading this. Julian sees the person robbing him and believes he is being robbed by a woman.Pipe down, he murmured to himself, it’s a woman for chrissakes...
Share a favorite scene from the book. The trust Gabriella showed in Philipee/Philip. Unusual to find in real life but worked perfect for the scene when she was showing Philip the apartment.
What did the title have to do with the book? The title is really unclear to me. I understand the Italian Connection part but Dojo Boys is something I am still trying to figure out. I must have missed the full meaning in the story.

Untimed
How would the book have been different if it had taken place in a different time or place? The book needed to jump back in forth in time, because that was what the book was centered around. Wouldn't have been as good, if the places and events were different.Make a list of facts you learned from the story. Boys could only go forward and girls could only travel back. Charlie's aunt and dad were travellers, as well. Billy was adopted by Ben Franlkin and his name become William. Dancer was a boxer. Tocks were machines.
List the characters and describe them. Charlie was about 15. Tall and thin. He was from London. Yvaine was a young girl with a baby named Billy. She was a thief. Charlie, Yvaine, Sophie and Charlie’s dad are all time travellers. Tick Tocks are mechanical killing machines. I learned where Ben Franklin's son came from.
If your book was a mystery, tell what the mystery was and how it was solved. It wasn't really a mystery. More just plain fiction.
