1/2 way done

Hello again,
   Over the weekend I reached the 1/2 way mark on my great novel, The Lucky One. It is quite rare that I ever find a book that I read this much. I have even taken this book in the car with me while I drove to the grocery with my mom. I have also read it when I wake up every morning and before I go to bed every night. The chapters vary in length, some are 3-4 pages while some are around 17-24 pages long, but I try to read at least 2 in the morning before I start my homework and then 1 in the afternoon or 2 depending on how much homework I have completed.
   My book is told from the 3 main characters point of views: Thibault, Beth, and Clayton. Each chapter is a new person's thoughts and ideas about what is going around around them, it isn't as confusing as it sounds. This book was #1 New York Times Bestseller, and now I understand why. It was also made into a movie that I don't think is out yet, but try to read the book first because in my opinion the book is always more detailed, while the movie leaves out some parts. As I read this book I occasionally find Worldly Wise words from our chapter and highlight them, or I will find a concept we have talked about in class and bracket it thinking I'm supposed to do annotations. It never hurts to jot down some notes on the side of your book though! I recommend this book to everyone, boys and girls, you guys would love it!

Try it sometime,

  1. Katie, I think I will read this book after I finish the one I'm reading now. i've seen the preview for the movie and it looks really good! It seems like a great summer read.

  3. I added this book to my reading list too! I love Nicholas Sparks books, and this one sounds like one I would really enjoy!
