I love to read.
Anything and everything, it just makes me happy.
Serious, funny, fiction, non-fiction, biography, spiritual, politics.
You name it, I read it.
Well, except Sci-fi. But that's a post entirely for itself.
In late February, I went home to Amarillo, and my momma had a book waiting for me on my nightstand.
She's awesome like that.
It was The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks.
Now, I'm not always a huge fan of Mr. Sparks.
I loved A Bend In The Road...but not so much The Notebook.
A Walk to Remember was so-so.
I just don't always like his style...something to do with some literary term like character development but I'm not going to pursue that at this time of night.
So ANYWAY, I picked up the book...
...and couldnt. put. it. down.
It's not that it was so rivetting.
Or thought-provoking.
And I didn't like the main character AT ALL at first.
But I hadn't read a fiction book in a LONG time.
And it was just a nice break from the reality of grad school.
Plus, it was a sweet book with a good message.
Totally predictable...but once you've read many of Sparks' books, you began to see this trend.
Oh, and it made me cry.
And I NEVER cry in books or movies. Ever.
{Ok, I cried in Armagedon b/c I'm a daddy's girl and Simon Birch b/c you have to be heartless not to tear up in that movie. Oh, and The Passion...but that totally doesn't count.}
So there you have it.
If you like a cute little fiction story,
Or if you're a Nicholas Sparks fan,
I would definitely recommend this book.
And that is that.
Enough with all this trivial nonsense, back to reading about upper extremity rehabilitation...Thrilling. Be jealous.
**Ha! So I just re-read this post and realized how boring it is. And pretty much the lamest book review ever. Eh, such is life. Bless your heart if you made it through it!
