Confessions of a Shopaholic

What a fun girly movie! I love this shot I found online... while I am never surrounded by designer shoes when it comes time to cleaning out the closet I do find myself in quite a mess and greatly sympathized with this shot!If you haven't already be sure to check this one out with your girls!

Patrick Swayze

Rest in Peace!
some happy movie memories:
(because duh i dont have any from personal photoalbums, thats me, cracking jokes when its sad, and yes The Outsiders remains my favorite with Ghost and Dirty Dancing as runners up)

Nicholas Sparks - Book Signing

What a sweet heart! Tonight was a lot of fun. I went to the Book Revue in Huntington, NY and listened to Nicholas Sparks speak about his new book The Last Song, got an autographed copy and got my picture taken with him! Isn't he darling? Of course he has to be to write the stories that he does. The movie for The Last Song comes out in January and Dear John is to be released in February. Personally I love both the books and films : ) Hope you enjoy his works as well!

another picture from my cell when he was speaking to the crowd, which was a couple hundred tonight!

the time traveler's wife

just finished reading it! soo many tears... sigh...

a girl that used to work with me at the library recommended this book, it probably just came out and she loved it and said how i have to read it, was in library school and didnt do much reading other than assignments so i never read it. then i saw the commercials this summer for the movie and was like ooh i need to read that one!

and tonight i finished this great story. a very unique love story. id rather share my thoughts with those that have read the book. all i can say is how much i felt when i read this story. my heart longed for a love like henry. i cried for clares pain. i love books that can evoke such strong emotions from its readers. this is one of those books. have tissues handy!

Nicholas Sparks - The Choice

I finished my first Nichlas Sparks book, The Choice, on Friday. The movies, The Notebook, and A Walk to Remember, are not even close to the tears I shed while reading The Choice. It isn't necessarily sadder but I think its the build up for the characters you grow stronger to while reading verses watching in a movie...at least for me this time... I cried myself to sleep and actually crashed, took one of my famous naps : ) before I could enjoy my Friday night.

Looking forward to Monday, September 14th when I am going with my sister to meet Nicholas Sparks for a book signing in Huntington. She has him to thank for getting into reading. I've always loved to read but she never got into a book til she read his. Will be sure to take pictures! I already called to make sure we can : )
