If you missed The Art of Forgetting when it came out in hard cover last year, you are in for a treat now. Last year when I read it, I cracked it open thinking I would take a sneak peek and suddenly I was on chapter six dying to know what was happening with the mystery behind Nathan, Marissa’s ex-love, and wondering about the brain injury that her best friend, Julia sustains. I read this book at a super-fast pace and couldn’t recommend it enough! Such a great read!
Back-of-the-book blurb:
Marissa Rogers never wanted to be an alpha; beta suited her just fine. Taking charge without taking credit had always paid off: vaulting her to senior editor at a glossy magazine; keeping the peace with her critical, weight-obsessed mother; and enjoying the benefits of being best friends with gorgeous, charismatic, absolutely alpha Julia Ferrar.
And then Julia gets hit by a cab. She survives with minor obvious injuries, but brain damage steals her memory and alters her personality, possibly forever. Suddenly, Marissa is thrown into the role of alpha friend. As Julia struggles to regain her memory- dredging up issues Marissa would rather forget, including the fact that Julia asked her to abandon the love of her life ten years ago- Marissa's own equilibrium is shaken.

I always forget where my keys are and not to call my parents when I am stressed. When I was younger I always forgot not to drunk dial my exes. haha
I don't forget one particular thing, but it never fails that whenever I am trying to do something, I forget something upstairs in my house when I need it downstairs and vice versa. I must climb my stairs hundreds of times in a day!
i'm with lucy872 - inevitably forgetting my book or my shoes or earrings in the bedroom when i'm trying to leave for work in the morning so it's up & down the stairs...!
I won this book from another blog, so just leaving a comment to enter the entire June blast of books, thanks!
I always forgot something when I go to the grocery store or Target. Something always fails to make it to the list or I forget the list and wing it.

I always forget where I put my phone. I also forget to go back and get my credit card when I open up a tab at the bar. Oops!
I forget things that are just not part of my daily routine. Whether's dropping something off on my way home from work or picking up a prescription that I may fill about every 2 - 3 months.
If I have only a few items I need from the store and don't write a list I always forget an item. I remember teasing my mom about this....karma is a bitch!
Nicole
I forget EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME! If I don't write it down, or put it on a sticky note on my forehead, I am almost always likely to forget. Whether it's stopping by the bank, or picking something up at the store. If it is out of my normal daily routine, I'm a space cadet!
I forget things all the time! If I'm in a hurry, I'll inevitably forget something and have to turn around and go get it. Even if I have a list at the grocery store, I'll get distracted and forget something on it, and I'm terrible about forgetting things my fiance asked me to do! :( Oops. lol
there's no one thing i forget to do all the time, but last night for the first time ever i forgot to feed the dog her dinner! at about midnight she let me know not so subtly that i had forgotten. :)
Yay!!! a month of books. I'm so excited. I forget where I leave my keys.
When we go out to eat, I forget to take my pills when I get home. I always come home, feed the pets, give them their medicine and forget my own.

Sign me up!
I always forget to plug my phone in at the end of the day. I am thankful my hubby does it for me.

I forget where I leave my phone sometimes.
When it's actually in my hand. It happens more often than I'd care to admit. :)

I always forget to bring things with me when I'm going someplace that I know I have something to bring. For instance, when I was going to my parent's house this weekend, I forgot to bring the box of clothes that I wanted my mom to give to her friend!
Vitamins!! I never can remember to take them. Ever.
I seem to forget my phone in the morning when I am going to work. I usually remember that I didn't throw it into my purse when I am halfway to work. If I don't set it next to my purse...I always forget to grab it.
I always forget to call someone after I'm told-you need to call this person. Whoops!

I always forget to put the yogurt back in the fridge in the morning and then I ruin the whole thing :(

I'm always forgetting everything! I have a horrible memory & constantly am being reminded of things I should not forget. LOL oops!!!
I'm always forgetting to put out the trash. I'm usually half way down the street before I notice all the green bins and have to go back.
When I'm at the grocery store there is always one item on my mental list that I forget! I try to correct this by writing lists down, but sometimes I forget to do even that. :)
This book has been on my radar for a long time and I would love to win a copy!
Jonita (aka The Book Chick)
I always seem to forget little details. For example, if I have to be somewhere at a certain time I can never remember the time, I have to end up asking someone multiple times.
I always forget to take my meds in the morning. oops.

kndyer
It's kind of ridiculous the amount of things I forget...no way I could narrow it down to just one thing! But it's turned me into the queen of list-making, so I guess that's not a bad thing!?!

My life is full of sticky notes, especially at work, because I try to do too many things at once and always forget to do something.

I always forget to just relax & take time for myself. Im a stay at home mom so I feel like I have to be doing something non stop to keep in line with how much my husband works, but forget that I should be able just to relax every so often
I always forget to buy a couple of items whenever I go grocery shopping. My poor husband is at the store at least twice a week to pick up random stuff I need.

I'm always forgetting to take my vitamins. I buy a bottle and think, I can do this. Then I forget almost every single day.
I can never remember where I put my car keys. I try to put them in the same place, but I forget where that is.

I forget a lot of things! I've forgotten my ID at work numerous times which is really terrible because I can't get back on base without it. I'm trying to be better!
Thanks!

I always forget to bring my car keys outside with me when I go to leave. You'd think I'd be smart enough to put them in my purse when I get home so that the next time I go out, they are there. But nope! That would be too easy. So I get me, all our stuff, and my 2 kids all installed in the car, go to start it, and can't find my bloody keys!! Drives me crazy!
I ALWAYS forget how long it takes me to get ready in the morning and I continue to use snooze every morning (thus making me a little later than I'd like in getting out the door to work)!!! mdworley1 at gmail dot com
I forget to take my vitamins in the morning. It messes things up.
I am always forgetting something. So much so that I carry around post it notes with me and write things down as I remember them and tape the notes to my wall lol.
I forget to send thank you notes...sometimes. I don't mean to forget this...and here in the South...it is just tacky. I appreciate what others do for me...I just feel that if I have thanked you personally then I check that box and move on! Okay...FINE...I'm tacky. :) ktmixon315
I tend to forget to text people back. Opps! -AMG
I ALWAYS forget to take my phone with me when I go out and I ALWAYS inevitably have to go back for it. *Sigh*
Lilian @ A Novel Toybox
I don't forget anything specific but I do forget at least one thing everyday. Whether it's something at the grocery store or bringing something back to a friend or forgetting to call someone back, I lose track of it.
Kristin
Every time I walk out my office door & talk to my employee I forget what or where I am doing/going.

This happened to me last night - again - I always forget to put a new garbage bag in the trash can when I take out the garbage. Then hubby goes to throw something away and - whoops - I forgot again! But if that's the worst, then big deal, right? Unless I am forgetting something......

I always forget something from the grocery store, even if it was on my list.

I keep forgetting to keep in touch with old friends!
I forget to keep in touch with my old friends. ;)

There's nothing in particular that I always forget to do, but here lately I'll walk into a room to get something or do something and forget what that thing is. It's been happening more often than usual. I blame stress! :)
