I forgot to watch last sunday
Anyone know if they repeat? Anyway, looking forward to sundays....just hope I remember this time! -
Do you have this one already? 'Cause I have a vague memory of having this still lying around somewhere, so if I haven't given it to anyone yet, I'd be happy to send you my copy! (I'm trying to clear out some of my books.)
That is very kind of you!
But yes I do have it already, I've had it for about 4 years and not got around to reading it, so I must do it this year! -
The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
No. of pages: 221
Rating: 5/5
Synopsis: The Notebook, a Southern-fried story of love-lost-and-found-again, revolves around a single time-honored romantic dilemma: will beautiful Allie Nelson stay with Mr. Respectability (to whom she happens to be engaged), or will she hook up with Noah, the romantic rascal she left so many years ago? Decades later, after Allie develops Alzheimer's, her beau uses "the notebook" to read her the story of the great love she can't remember.
Review: I wanted to read this, like many people, after I saw the rather popular film, and I doubted the book could live up to how lovely the film was. I was wrong! The book is beautiful, both the style in which it's written and the story itself. I was so glad to see that very little had been changed in transition from book to film, and that in itself is pretty rare! Both Allie and Noah are incredibly loveable characters, and I'm so glad that Allie makes the choice she does, although it is pretty predictable that she will. I will definitely be buying more books by this author in the future!

Yeah I'm a big kid too, and no he hates reading, so I tell him off, because he's never read them so he can't judge! But you know what they're like eh?! Always right!
-
Ahh, he HATES Harry Potter to the fiery pits of hell, and it kills him that I like it
he says it's a "kid thing" and that adults who like them are silly, pfft, what does he know eh!? -
Haha, I want the adult boxset! I was trying to bribe my boyfriend to buy them for me for my birthday in a few weeks, but he doesn't want to
:( -
Yeah me too on both counts, I do love harry potter though
I want to re-read them this year, I wasn't impressed with the last book when it came out, maybe I'll like it more with a re-read -
Ahh we all love her really
Welcome

I must admit, I don't really read much fantasy so I'm going to have to go with the Harry Potter series!

This is lame and predictable, but Bella from Twilight. Sexy brooding Edward for a whole day? Yes please! (And I'd want to be Bella after she's been changed)
