This is not what I intended to have as my catch up post. Starting with the new year I have really enjoyed reading. This is something new for me, I have tried several times in years past and it would take me months to finish a book, if I even did. I don't know what started it all but I think I get it from my dad who is an avid reader. About a year ago he gave me Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. Sparks is one of my favorite authors writing great ones such as The Notebook, Nights in Rodanthe, and The Choice to name a small few. I read Dear John in one evening and cried my eyes out the entire time. It was an overwhelming love story.
There have been many books made into movies and I usually end up being sourly disappointed. Movies have such a difficult time enrapturing you in the story and characters that you feel as you read. Dear John is the most recent installment in the Nicholas Sparks movies and I had the opportunity to see it on Saturday with my wonderful sister in law, Jenna. I had a good feeling about this one, even the trailer got to me. Just listen to the soundtrack playing in this clip, the song speaks volumes.
