I read My Sister's Keeper.



Spoiler:

As I approached the ending, I was in absolute tears. I had tears streaming down my face. When I finished the book, right after, I read the last word, I literally threw the book to the ground... I was crying hystercially so hard I could barely breathe.

This is the only one that I read, too. I bawled my eyes out. It was terrible, but an excellent read! It turned out to be everything that I never expected it to be. I am dying to read that one about the amish girl, though. It looks really good. This is why I never finish reading the Potter series the whole way, through. I get distracted way too easily. Lol . . . I'm still trying to stay the course and read the whole series through, though. I did cheat a little bit. I took a day off to read Equus. I can't wait to finish the series so that I can read the books that I have been keeping on my mental list.

I haven't read that one yet. I want to, though. There are just so many freaking books that I want to read. It's hard to get to them all.

I read part of the Tenth Circle. I didn't like it.

Spoiler:

The Lifetime version of the movie sucked.

It's about a girl (Anna) who sues her parents for rights to her own body after it's decided that her sister will need one of her kidneys. I think it was a kidney . . . Anyway, Anna was literally put together to be a genetic match for her older sister when her siter got leukemia as a toddler. Anna was born so that the blood from her ambilical cord could be used to save her sister's life. Their lives pretty much spiraled from there to this event as Anna's sister dealt with a life-long struggle with cancer. It's a great read.
