2 things

#1: i've never quit reading a book in the middle of it, but i am so done with "love in the time of cholera." i was hoping for a sweet love story, passionate characters, or something of substance- the book won a nobel prize so i was sure it would be good. but it's not. 150 pages in, nothing has happened. i don't know who the characters are. i've only ready 2 chapters because they are each 75 pages long. the whole story is told in summary. i would not recommend this book. stephanie meyer- i hope your new book can pull me out of the reading rut i'm in.

Reasons to Love You- Meiko
Today- Jeremy Larson
From My Heart to Yours- Laura Izibor
Follow Through (acoustic)- Gavin DeGraw
Sweeter Than This- Katie Herzig

I just went and bought the Host today. I'm having a hard time getting into My Sisters Keeper, but I'm trying. 75 pages per chapter..I think I would stop reading too, thats awful! I'm reading blood and chocolate right now and I'm liking it alot.

Carly,
I was so so happy to see your comment on my blog! I am way excited that you have one- it is darling! This will be so much fun! Ann's shower the other day was so great. It was so fun to see you guys, it reminded me of all the fabulous times we have had together! Lets definately get together again soon. A pool party sounds great:)

Hey Carly! You have no idea how excited I was to hear from you and to read your blog! You are just so cute and it will be so fun to see what you're up to! I am definately counting down the days until the next Stephanie Meyer book comes out too! I started reading "Sophie's Choice" the other day and had to stop because it was so dumb and the language was horrible. I even found it on the classics rack at the library! Oh well, at least I have something to look forward to!

Hi Carly,
I have an adorable book for you to read. "The Wedding Planner's Daughter" is a delight. I found it in the teen section. It's a cute and clean story of growing up. You're welcome to borrow my copy! I love reading your blog. You are a gifted writer.
