Books, again...

I love audio books...

The Notebook by Nichols Sparks

I did see the movie a few years ago at my lovely Sasha's house and cried like a baby. At the time my grandfather was living with Alzheimer's making the movie hit home. The book was soooooo much better than the movie. There are so many differences and I definitely prefer the book. As always with Sparks the story was heart wrenching and the ending didn't help. The conclusions are never what I would expect and they just plain suck in one way yet are good enough to keep me content. Oy...

Dear John by Nicholas Sparks

Oh my bob! This was the worst yet best ending of all! I cried and I wasn't driving I probably would have cried like a freakin' baby... Oh man, good times. I can't say anything else without giving it away so just read it. Ya, just read it...

(So I'm on a Nicholas Sparks kick it seems. Right now I'm listening to The Wedding, a sequel of sorts to The Notebook. What can I say, I'm a romantic, sometimes...)

Tears of the Giraffe by Alexander McCall Smith

I think this was actually better than the first. Tears of the Giraffe is a sequel to The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency which I just read (and posted about) about a week or so ago. There was more content and story in this second book, probably because all of the background, etc. was given in the first book so there was more room for detectiv-ing. There also seemed to be more of a moral and some more emotion which I enjoyed. Now I definitely want to go to Africa.

More books are on their way!

More Books!

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

My SIGNED copy of the book. I didn't finish it until after he signed it but thats not the point. The book was funny and different but definitely written for young adults. It was a nice, relaxing and humorous read that did point out a lot of issues that teenagers deal with. It was good times.

The Anastasia Syndrome by Mary Higgins Clark

I have always loved Mary Higgins Clark and this was another good one. Its a novella so it only took about four hours to listen to and the ending was well worth it. I can't tell you what happened, you just have to read it (or listen to it).

True Believer by Nicholas Sparks

Nicholas Sparks never fails in making me cry (or at least tear). This was no exception.

The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

This was a very different kind of book that I did enjoy. I'm looking forward to reading the next one in the series.

I know that there isn't a lot of description but I don't have too much time. All were good books that I would recommend anyone who may be interested in them.

Go books!
