Ginna Marciel | 24 comments The conflict is that Tom Anderson is becoming a werewolf. Thankfully he has silver blood, meaning that it is extremely hard for him to become a full fledged werewolf. So in the story Tom and Kate are trying to head everywhere to find a man who is supposed to stop Tom from becoming a werewolf because he clearly doesn't want to be one. And they are trying to get away from Marcie Folan who is Kate's mother because Tom accidentally killed Will, her son. And also trying to get away from Papa Takapa who is supposedly the head werewolf of all. So, they are trying to get away from both. And all the other werewolves hiding under the human skin.

message 15: by Becca (new)

Becca (rewashed) | 21 comments The woman who wrote the book I'm reading is the main character, per say. My book is nonfiction. Elizabeth can't find satisfaction in anything anymore - her marriage, her career, anything, so she sets out on a journey of self discovery. Her biggest conflict is herself. She second guesses herself too often and loses sight of the fact that it's okay to just be a human.

Jackie (jacqu3s) | 21 comments She is looking for love in all the wrong places and for all the wrong reasons. She goes through getting abused and heart broken until she finally finds Mr. right.

Julianna Clemmer | 17 comments Randy Pausch ran into many “brick walls” while trying to achieve his childhood dreams, one of his many dreams was to reach zero gravity. He was a professor at Carnegie Mellon University when his students were given a chance to go to NASA. At first they told him he couldn’t go because it was only for students, so he then pulled out as the adviser and signed up to be the photojournalist in order to experience zero gravity. He is also in a battle with cancer at the time he's giving this lecture/writing this book.
