I recall that there were some men in the "regrets" book that regretted bullying others when they were younger, had partner choice regrets and missed work/educational regrets. I've since returned the book to the library but, I'm sure there were more.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-21617998641653805312022-08-21T11:16:27.319-04:002022-08-21T11:16:27.319-04:00the book about regrets interests me. it's a to...the book about regrets interests me. it's a topic i've been thinking about a lot lately. thanks for the review.Marie Cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938166831865436287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-4614831535901400412022-08-21T05:01:09.211-04:002022-08-21T05:01:09.211-04:00Both of these appeal to me.

I think women do 'guilt' better and more often than men so it would be interesting to know what the gender split is as regards regrets and guilt. It's very interesting to contemplate these things and I wonder if bookish people are more likely to be introspective like that?Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-66164200376359842312022-08-20T19:09:58.996-04:002022-08-20T19:09:58.996-04:00I loved your comment Dorothy - I agree!I loved your comment Dorothy - I agree!(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-30493853398009156032022-08-20T19:08:33.484-04:002022-08-20T19:08:33.484-04:00That happens to me all the time Vicki.That happens to me all the time Vicki.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-57815556638635181432022-08-20T19:08:07.550-04:002022-08-20T19:08:07.550-04:00Oh I'm not familiar with that one, I should ch...Oh I'm not familiar with that one, I should check it out.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-48535120289756953942022-08-20T19:07:28.089-04:002022-08-20T19:07:28.089-04:00Your mom or anyone looking for a lighter read woul...Your mom or anyone looking for a lighter read would be happy with The Messy Lives.......
