4.3.12

the notebook

As so many of the female gender before and I'm sure after me, I too have fallen completely in love with Noah and his complete and loving devotion to Allie.

This is not the first time I've read The Notebook, and I'm sure not the last. Every single time I read this book I need to be sure to have a box of tissues. Without fail I will cry. But while reading this book I learned that crying over an ereader is not the same as with a real physical book. There is something about the way the tears stain the page that is magical and sends your emotions to the characters. Splotches on the screen just seem alien and pitiful, but that didn't stop me from shedding tears all the same.

This is one book that once I start I can't seem to put down, and lots of tears and a few hours later I'm longing for a Noah of my very own. Hoping that someday someone will love me, and stick by me through thick and thin. Someone to sit in a rocking chair on an old porch with. Someone to inspire me and encourage me to do things greater then I knew I could.

Each time I read this book I'm always surprised by the simplicity of it. There is really nothing overly showy about the story, it's all about how sometimes young love can be the truest of all, if given the chance. How some love can endure even the worst, and how love will conquer all.

True love. Faithful love. Patient love. Forgiving love.
Just thinking about it makes me want to read the book over again.


5.1.12

read.

I'm not much for new years resolutions. I've always figured that if there is something you want to do, some way you want to change your life it's something you can decide to do anytime. Not just starting January 1st. I guess this year January 1st just happens to be when I have decided to set a goal. To make a change. What you might ask is my goal, my resolution?


To read.



It's simple. I want to read more. As a kid I read, a lot. I was the one that got in trouble for reading under the covers with a flashlight for hours after I should have been asleep. For some reason as I grew up I read in spurts. Absorbing many, many books in a short spirt then not reading for a while again. In a way It's turned into a vicious cycle. One that I am going to attempt to stop here and now!

This year I want to try to read a little more consistently. I've got no real goals on number of books to read, or even any specific books. I just want to be able to say that I am reading a book.

For Christmas my parents gave me a Kobo Touch. I'm in love with it. It's so nice to have multiple books at my finger tips and all I have to carry is 6.5 oz ereader. It's great. With about 360 books already loaded on my Kobo I'm all set to read, a lot.



So that is my goal, to read. I'm going to try to blog about some of the books after I finish. Hopefully it will be a good year, full of lots of page turners!
