The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

A man with a faded, well-worn notebook open in his lap. A woman experiencing a morning ritual she doesn’t understand. Until he begins to read to her. The Notebook is an achingly tender story about the enduring power of love, a story of miracles that will stay with you forever. Set amid the austere beauty of coastal North Carolina in 1946, The Notebook begins with the story of Noah Calhoun, a rural Southerner returned home from World War II. Noah, thirty-one, is restoring a plantation home to its former glory, and he is haunted by images of the beautiful girl he met fourteen years earlier, a girl he loved like no other. Unable to find her, yet unwilling to forget the summer they spent together, Noah is content to live with only memories. . until she unexpectedly returns to his town to see him once again. Allie Nelson, twenty-nine, is now engaged to another man, but realizes that the original passion she felt for Noah has not dimmed with the passage of time. Still, the obstacles that once ended their previous relationship remain, and the gulf between their worlds is too vast to ignore. With her impending marriage only weeks away, Allie is forced to confront her hopes and dreams for the future, a future that only she can shape. Like a puzzle within a puzzle, the story of Noah and Allie is just beginning. As it unfolds, their tale miraculously becomes something different, with much higher stakes. The result is a deeply moving portrait of love itself, the tender moments, and fundamental changes that affect us all. Shining with a beauty that is rarely found in current literature, The Notebook establishes Nicholas Sparks as a classic storyteller with a unique insight into the only emotion that really matters.

Curse you, Nicholas Sparks. 

Curse you and your ability to write something really romantic and good and making me cry at the end. Just...curse you.  

Beacause of you, I now have a really high tolerance to men when it comes to dating and that's why I'm single as fuck right now.

What's in my Book Purse 1/21/2013: Gosling vs Efron

Hey y'all and Happy New Year! I'm so sorry I haven't blogged in AGES-school started and it has been kicking my ass from here to North Carolina. So for this book haul, I got three books and two of them has two very sexy characters that I think you all know and love. So without further ado, here's the books for the month of January/February.

From Left to Right:
Happy Ever After by Nora Roberts
The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks

Yep...I got The Notebook and The Lucky One, or as I like to call them, Gosling vs Efron. I already read Channing Tatum (Dear John) already and boy it was good. Now I'm reading Gosling first and boy is it good. Already I'm falling for Gosling's character (and if I ever meet Ryan Gosling, I would jump him, drag him to my room, and have my way with him without his current girlfriend knowing) and I just wanna slap Rachel McAdams's character but that will be in a review real soon. 

Now the Lucky One I haven't seen the movie yet but when I do, I would probably want to jump Zac Efron's bones after I get done with Ryan Gosling. But I have a feeling that I'm going to love Efron's character as well...I think...

I don't normally read Nora Roberts books but I tried to read Happy Ever After and I decided to read it again and already I'm in love with it and about to ship the book's main characters. I'm not going to tell you who but in a future review I will.
