A Walk to Remember 1300 reviews Nicholas Sparks
Grand Central Publishing, 2000
A Beautiful, and Poignant Novel!
+ So incredibly sweet!
A WALK TO REMEMBER was a novel I checked out from the library because I was tired of fast-paced action novels by John Grisham and Tom Clancy (don't get me wrong; I love Grisham and Clancy). I like dramas and romances, so I checked this one out. It's the first Sparks novel I've read.

The Dark is Rising (The Dark is Rising Sequence) 160 reviews Susan Cooper
Aladdin, 1999
Don't judge these books by the movie !!!
+ An Interesting and Welcome Second in the Series + The second (and best) in the Dark is Rising sequence!
This series of books (especially, The Dark is Rising) is one of my favorites. The recent movie, The Seeker, based on The Dark is Rising, did not do the book justice. The moviemakers attempt to modernize the story, take out some of the mythological aspects, and add in some teenage angst ...
