No.73 - Storybooks

completed 2 storybooks during this break (which is about to end in 3days' time).

My Sister's Keeper and Dear John.

the 1st one took me almost a month to finish, it was quite draggy and it has been quite some time since i last read a storybook. so it was quite difficult to get into the 'rhythm' at 1st. one day few pages and when almost time to return the book, it was bullet-train speed. the details on how the girl filed the case against her parents was too detailed but the end was really a twist, did not expect it. searching for the dvd, it was somewhere at home but now nowhere to be seen.

the 2nd one took me...FOUR days, yes, F-O-U-R! the fastest i ever took to finish a storybook. i think the flow for storybooks is there now. and i must tell that i love reading storybooks that doesnt have quite a happy ending for a party and it somehow must be love story, whether family love, sisterly love or boy-girl love. i felt i could relate to this story (i can't tell why and how). the dvd is waiting for me to watch. shall do so tomorrow or day after tomorrow. my favourite line from this book :
'Love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.'

next up, trying to get my hands on The Last Song, also by Nicholas Sparks. just like all his stories. although i did not read A Walk to Remember and The Notebook, i watched both the movies. just lovely. his talent of writing love stories.
