Nicholas Sparks two weeks in a row!

This week I read Safe Haven by, Nicholas Sparks of course!  I skipped this book because I wasn't sure if I had read it or not, but once I went back and took another look I realized I had not.  This was one of my favorites of his.  I was almost afraid to finish it because I thought for sure something was going to happen that I wouldn't be happy about it.  It ended up having a perfect ending! It was a story about a girl who was married to a guy who was abusive but she escaped and started a new life in a small town. She becomes friends with Jo, a woman that moves in next door to her.  She falls in love with a guy named Alex who has two children.  This was an excellent book and my only regret is that I have now read all his books and need to find another author that I like just as much.

Another great Nicholas Sparks book!

I absolutely love all of Nicholas Sparks books!  I seen the book The Best of Me at the store last week and really wanted to buy it but I decided to buy it to read on my phone instead.  So glad I have a smart phone!  Anyway, this was a typical Nicholas Sparks book, which is a good thing!  This is the type of book that I can read in a day or two because it is so easy to read.  This book is a love story about a man named Dawson and a woman named Amanda.  They grew up living in a small town but life happened and they went different paths.  Twenty years later they were brought back together due to an unfortunate event.  They spent another wonderful weekend together before having to move on back to their lives.  There were decisions to be made and other meaningful event that took place, but I will leave those a surprise for anyone that may want to read it!

Great book for this week

I had struggled so much with the last book I decided to go for a simple, but entertaining book this week.  I just finished reading Ellen DeGeneres's book Seriously...I'm Kidding.  This is her third book that she has written.  I know I read her first one but I not sure about the second one.  Anyway, this book keeps you laughing and smiling the whole way through.  Very easy book to read, which is something I needed this week!  I don't watch her day time talk show very often since I have too much going on, but I do find her to be very good at entertaining.  I was able to finish this book in a week.  Most of my reading took place on Monday since I was off of work.  I was looking at the books at Walmart and wasn't sure if I wanted to buy one there or buy one on my phone to read on there.  I chose my phone with this book.  I find it really handy to have the book right there on my phone which is something I always carry with me.  I think I am liking this option more and more.  Well, on to pick out a book for next week!

Finally!!

I am not sure why it was so difficult for me to get through this book.  Life has been kind of crazy the past couple of weeks so maybe that has something to do with it.  I didn't blog last week, we were having some issues with our daughter and someone stealing her things and leaving her a nasty note so my mind was just not on school let alone pleasure reading.  I think we have worked things out for the time being.  Anyway, I made it through the rest of The Year of Fog.  Abby and Jake's relationship continued to struggle as they searched for Jake's daughter Emma.  Abby ends up going to Costa Rica to look for Emma.  She finds her on the beach and they sneak away while the people that took her away were in the ocean.  She calls Jake and he comes there to bring his daughter home.  It took 332 days to find his little girl, but she was found and she was alive.  Emma's biological mother had paid a couple $10,000 to take her.  She wanted to spend some time with her and Jake wouldn't let her.  In the end Emma was at home safe with her dad.  Jake would not let Abby back into his life.  He said that he and Emma needed some time alone.
