I always do this. I don’t read much during the summer, but once school starts, I always find myself neglecting my course readers and reading book after book on subject matters completely unrelated. Guess screwing myself over academically is my way of rebelling? But who am I rebelling against, exactly? I.Am.So.Weird. Speaking of readers, why is it that one of my course readers cost a whopping $105?!? Yup. For a course reader. My heart dropped when the totally unfriendly lady rang the sale through. I kind of was waiting for: “I know it hurts now, dear, but it’s okay. Everything will be okay. ” Damn you, Print City. Damn you!

Anyway, I bought this at Costco yesterday with my mom. Wooohooo for books at almost 50% off! The selection, however, is limited to current popular titles. And Oprah’s Book Club books. This book is about love and redemption — and believe you me, Mr. Sparks is no stranger to both. He was, after all, the man behind A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, and Nights in Rodanthe. I own both A Walk to Remember and The Notebook, but have yet to see Nights in Rodanthe. Both are huge tearjerkers, with the latter title taking the cake as possibly the biggest tearjerker movie I have ever seen. Which just begs the question: Can you believe they were written by a guy?! I always thought that to be a little odd. If you’re into those things, you just might like this one.

So it’s Sunday, the weekend is almost over and I have yet to do anything productive. After this post I am forcing myself to turn off this PC and clean up the disaster zone that is currently my room. Scrubbing my bathroom tiles, what a perfect way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon.

And Renee, thanks so much for the little shout out on your blog!! Much appreciated!
