Over my trip to Nashville, I finished reading The Time Traveler's Wife. As I've mentioned before, the beginning was really confusing to me. I mean, how can a guy be two ages at the same time?? I was stumped!
But once the book got going it started to come together and make more sense. I would recommend sticking it out if anyone is having trouble getting started. I did, however, find myself having to go back from time to time to check Henry or Clare's ages and thinking...hm...now when did this happen again?
But overall, I think the book was great! It was unlike any book I have ever read. I simply couldn't read fast enough. I just wanted to find out what happened. But I will say, when I did find out what happened at the end...I was kind of disappointed. It just seemed like a really depressing ending. But I do believe it is worth the read if anyone is contemplating giving it a try.
I'm very interested to see how this movie transfers to film. I have convinced my husband to accompany me when it comes out (in return for seeing Funny People with Adam Sandler this weekend) so we shall see.
Next up:
I've read about 100 pages so far and it is not really about what I expected. Should be interesting!
We don't have a ton planned for the weekend...but I am meeting a group of girls after work for bowling! Yep...me...meeting girls! I know...weird! Actual friends! AND I have a Junior League event downtown on Saturday afternoon so I will be full of fun girl events for two whole days.
Hope your weekends are filled with tons of fun!!

Im so torn, I dont know if I want to read the book "Time Traveler's Wife" or see the movie?? And Jodi Picoult's book, I have it but havent started to read it yet. I just finished "Perfect Match" and really enjoyed it. I am now reading "The Red Scarf", so far its good.
Have a great weekend!!!
loved my sister's keeper! Jodi Picoult has written some great books! I want to see Julie and Julia... maybe on DVD...someday!
I ordered the Time Travelers Wife on Amazon last week. It should be here today! I cant wait to read it!
I want to read Time Travelers Wife! I've heard quite a bit about it!
I desperately want to read both of these selections, especially after seeing so many posts on them! :) I am going to see TTTW on film before reading the book; backwards, I know, but I wouldn't want the movie adaptation to ruin the book... or something. I just want to see the movie! haha. :)
Hope you have a fantastic weekend!
I finished Time Travelers Wife last week. I love it too but I agree about the ending. It was depressing. Cant wait for the movie though!
I loved my sisters keeper, very good book! It was a very different read and took me a few chapters in to get the hang of switching characters like that. Enjoy!
OOO ill have to read that one!
Im reading my sisters keeper right now..
Its really good!!! But i know there will be a ridiculously sad ending so that will suck!
I loved Time Traveler's Wife. Such an amazing story.
I've read a few of Jodi Picoult's books and am just not a fan. I don't like her weird twists.
I was the same way with the Time Traveler's Wife..I kept having to go back to see what ages they were. I also thought the ending was way too depressing.
I should really read my sisters keeper..it's on my list.
oh ps heard funny people is awful!
Yea good thinking. You've got to have leverage so you can go see a movie you like! :)
That was really the only part that I liked was that she waited for him. Very sweet but still very sad.
Hated the part with Gomez...sick!
i read my sister's keeper this summer and enjoyed it. haven't seen the movie yet. the time traveler's wife is on my list for this summer, so i appreciate your review. i wonder if i'll like it...
I'm still working on getting a hold of the time traveler's wife but I LOVED my sister's keeper. Let me know how you like it when you get done.
I've read both of these!
You know I love TTW!
And My Sisters Keeper was really good (although I thought "Nineteen Minutes" by the same author was better)
Happy reading!

You are going to love "my sister's keeper" I read it on my honeymoon and noticed a few other women on the resort were as well, we had an impromtu book club meeting one night! lol...I want to read the time travelers wife before watching the movie
I saw the preview for "time travelers wife" while seeing funny people last night and it looks interesting but I just can't decide if I want to read the book or just see the movie.
I do know that "my sister's keeper" is an amazing book and I hope you love it! I still haven't seen the movie but hopefully soon!
My Sister's Keeper is an AMAZING book!! loved it!
I am wanting to read both of those books before I see the movies. I keep hearing how sad my sister's keeper is but I haven't heard much about the time travelers wife yet, thanks for sharing!!
