I finished book #19 in my 36 books in 2011 challenge!
#19 One Day by David Nicolls (4 out of 5 stars)
I read this due to a few friends recommending it on GoodReads as well as the impending movie. It seems all my books this summer are coming out as movies! Although I really actually do not enjoy love stories, I loved this one! It showed that life is really just a series of important, defining days as well as the importance of the people in them. It is the story of two lovers, who start out as friends, and the twenty-year relationship of ups and downs that led them there.
Check out the Widget on the right or become by friend on GoodReads!
Oh I love love stories, haha. Maybe I'll have to check this one out. I didn't even realize the movie was based on a book!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea for a challenge. I tried to read 50 books in one year once but the books I chose tended to be very long classic novels and I didn't get through more than 30. 36 sounds a lot more doable.
ReplyDeleteDo you have spefific book requirements or does anything count?
I am listening to this on CD right now for my hour-long drives to and from school. I find myself going "don't hook up with him Emma! Resist!!!!" a lot. I am sure passing drivers think I am nuts.
