Next Book:

Sorry for all the delay. I will still be reading The Historian. I ordered the book online and then I waited for it to arrive. I received a confirmation email after I ordered.
It never showed up? For some reason I finally found out (after emailing customer service to see where my order was) that my order never went through.
So, I have ordered it again and should hopefully receive it shortly. That's what I get for ordering online, right.... I do it all the time and usually I don't have any problems.

I will write another post as soon as I get the book and schedule a start date.
Until then, I'm trying to finish Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (for the second time) before it arrives. I'm almost done. I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan!

"The Notebook" chapter: Winter for Two

I was going to break this chapter up because its 61 pages long, but once I started reading I could not stop.

"Winter for Two" (153-214 the end)
This chapter goes back to the old man from the beginning of the book, reading a story to a old woman we now know is his wife (Allie) who has Alzheimer's. The old man is Noah. Allie of course told Lon it was over and went back to Noah and they have been married for 49 years.
He reads there story to her every day he can in hopes of bring her memory back. Some days a miracle happens and she comes back to him. But not for long.
I had to fight off the tears during this chapter. Its such a powerful and sad love story. The kind of love they have is amazing. They have had children together and grown old together and soon there lives will end. But they have lived full and happy lives filled with love. What more could you ask for.

I really enjoyed this book. It's one I will read again one day.
THE NOTEBOOK by Nicholas Sparks
