As I was trying to finish The 19th Wife, I was given Nicholas Sparks The Best of Me for Christmas. I had been waiting to read this book for months, so I put The 19th Wife on hold.
The Best of Me is wonderful, as expected. I know that all of his books are similar (think young lovers, someone dying, happy ending) -- well, this was really no exception but still wonderful. It was very similar to his novel The Notebook in a lot of ways, yet very different in a lot of ways.
Anyway, classes have started and I know that is a poor excuse for not reading at the moment, but I'm getting back to it! I think I'm going to read 1984 next. I've had it on my bookshelf forever now.
I did get a little further in The 19th Wife -- it is still very interesting and I plan to finish it soon. If you haven't read this, I still highly recommend it!
Also, if you have not checked out or followed my other blog that I actually post on more -- check it out at www.katiemcnett.blogspot.com -- thanks!

Yes. I still read this blog! I can't believe you chose Nicholas Sparks over The 19th Wife. Sheesh! LOL. As you can see, I am NOT a fan of Nicholas Sparks, but I am glad that you are. :) Keep reading and keep me updated on 1984!
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Jessica on this. Not a Sparks fan. I need to read 1984 again. Maybe I should read it with you and blog about it. I may need and English major's help to get all the nuances out of it!
ReplyDeleteNow go read some real literature, ok?! :)
Haha! I just saw these comments. I can't believe you two are hating on Mr. Sparks! I know his writing is super lame and predictable, but so tear-jerking! They're getting better, I promise! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, they would really HAVE to be getting better! LOLJK.
