My New Read

"The Lucky One" is Nicholas Sparks' newest novel that just came out on September 30, 2008. Since I had finished "Dear John" the following day, I decided to buy his new book, but this time I got it at Borders (earlier today), which had a lower price than B&N. By the way, "Dear John" was just ok for me. From what I think, it certainly didn't beat "The Wedding" either. Seriously, they should make a movie for "The Wedding!" It should have gotten the credits rather than "Nights in Rodanthe." Anyways, I will start reading the new book soon! I hope I won't be disappointed. hehe.

On to Johnny

I started reading "Dear John," by Nicholas Sparks late last night. The hubby asked me a few times if I wanted to play Mario Kart, but I resisted the temptation and decided to start the book even though I wasn't done with the Twilight Series. Did I ever mention that I have been listening to it on my iPhone lately? Yup, thanks to Sherilyn who always comes up with better ideas!

I finished chapter one by the way (of Dear John) and so far, I am liking it. Mark is in the military and thus the theme of this book and I can very much relate. It's interesting how in some ways Mark and I are similar to these fictional characters - John and Savannah.

I'm really excited in finding out what is going to happen just because Nicholas Sparks comes up with good endings especially in his book, The Wedding. If you haven't read it, make sure you read The Notebook first as The wedding is the sequel. Good reading everyone!

Where's the "light" in TWILIGHT

A few months ago, I bought Stephanie Myer's books - Twilight Series, which is becoming popular not only among teens but with different age groups as well. I've talked to a couple of people who read the books and said they finished them within 2 days! That really caught my attention telling me the books should be really interesting. Because of it's popularity and high ratings, I decided to get myself a copy of each. I started reading in May2008 and perhaps, I've only read four chapters since then. Unlike the others, it did NOT feel like a page-turner for me. Since it's too late to get a refund for these books, I thought to myself why not give the books another chance.

Yesterday, I started off from where I left, think that was Chapter 5. I don't want to get into details of the story as I may spoil it for some of you who plan to read the series. So far, the story is somehow getting back on its feet, but ofcourse this is just all my opinion. I shall continue reading the book hoping it will make me eager to read on. Oh... and this year, they added another book to the series, called - Breaking Down. That is what I don't have, yet. ; )
