"Looking back, none of this would have happened if I’d brought lip gloss the night of the Homecoming Dance. "


My mother drove me to the airport with the windows rolled down. It was seventy-five degrees in Phoenix, the sky a perfect, cloudless blue.

I've only read it once before but it was ages ago. it wasn't as bad as i remembered! I actually like the flirty scenes now!



"During the third attack, Hazel almost ate a boulder. She was peering into the fog, wondering how it could be so difficult to fly across one stupid mountain range, when the ship's alarm bells sounded."

"This time we were in the Great Room enduring another etiquette lesson when bricks came flying through the window."


"Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense."


The soft cheers of fans in the bleachers floated around me as I stood planted in the right field, waiting for the next batter. My mind was elsewhere.


"Harry Potter was a highly unusual boy in many ways. For one thing, he hated the summer holidays more than any other time of year. For another, he really wanted to do his homework but was forced to do it in secret, in the dead of night. And he also happened to be a wizard."

"His doctors had it all wrong: another 190-mile-per-hour chrash into the wall wasn't going to kill him."


What if Shakespeare had it wrong?
To be, or not to be: that is the question. That's from Hamlet's-maybe Shakespeare's-most famous soliloquy. I had to memorize the whole speech for sophomore English, and I can still remember every word. I didn't give it much thought back then. I just wanted to get all the words right and collect my A. But what if Shakespeare-and Hamlet-were asking the wrong question?
What if the real question is not whether to be, but how to be?


“What if, all of a sudden, you could remember every single second of your entire life? And not just the major events everyone remembers—little things, too.”
