Obviously I am completely behind on my book list........I am still on book #3 (The Sound and the Fury). This is definitely going to turn into a 2-3 year challenge haha. The past few months have been crazy with traveling, overcoming obstacles I never thought I would have to face (which reminds me, I have the most amazing friends, family, and husband that anyone could ask for. Without them, I could not have gotten through these months), starting a new job, and just living life. The Sound and the Fury was not giving me the distraction that I needed at the time, so I put it on hold for awhile and picked up some new books.
While on a beach trip, I read Safe Haven. It was an easy read and a great escape. I tried to pick up book #3 again but got distracted by some movies that came out that are based on books. A couple of my friends and I decided to watch Water for Elephants but I HAD to read the book first. I just can't bring myself to watch a movie that is based on a book, if I have not read the book yet. Then, One Day came out. Had to read that one too! However, I ended up not finishing in time, short by about 50 pages. For the first time ever, I thought the movie was better. And I'm actually glad that I didn't make it to the end of the book. Amazing movie. Bring tissues and wear waterproof mascara :)
Next books on my list:
I have told myself that I MUST finish The Sound and the Fury before I can start any of these. Off to go read, I have a lot of it to do :) I will try not to neglect my blog anymore!

Let me know how you find "The Help." I've heard that it's a good novel but quite light-hearted—if not ignorant—in terms of the actual period and subject matter. I watched "Never Let Me Go" but didn't read the book (even though I heard it was great).
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you've gotten through the past few months. You're such a strong lady :)
I love you.
