Week Two

This week I read for 9 1/2 hours.

I finished The Notebook this week. At the end of the book you find out that the beginning of the book was just Noah reading the story of how they met and the time they spent together to Allie because she has Alzheimer's and she doesn't remember who he is. I can relate to how Noah is feeling because my grandpa is dealing with memory loss, too. Though it is not the same cause and he hasn't forgotten who anyone is, it is still hard to deal with at times.

This week I also read Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. This is the story of John Tyree, a soldier stationed in Germany. When he is home on leave, visiting his father, he meet Savannah, and the two definitely hit it off. When he returns to Germany Savannah promises to wait for him to return so they can get married. But then 911 happens and John is forced to stay for two more years. While he is over in Iraq Savannah falls in love with someone else and sends John a letter to let him know. John is crushed. A few months later his dad dies and he returns home for the funeral. While he is home he goes to visit Savannah, who is now married to Tim, who was diagnosised with melanoma. When John leaves to return to Germany he sells his dads coin collection and gives the money (anonymously) to Savannah and Tim so he could get the care he needed.



I also began Burned by P.C. and Kristen Cast, the seventh book in the House of Night series.

Total Time Read: 19 1/2 hours
