Well, I just got back from seeing The Last Song. It came out today. I hadn't planned on seeing it opening day, but it just sort of happened. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised with Miley Cyrus. She did a better job than I though she might. Of course, the part was written for her, so I'm sure that helped.
I don't want to spoil the story for anyone who might read the book or see the movie, but I did like both of them. They are a little different, though. As everyone knows, books are usually better than their movies, in part because of the details. I wasn't expecting this movie to have every detail that's in the book, but I was expecting more consistency with the storyline. Although the ends are essentially the same, the means are pretty different in places. Some because of left out details for sure, but other parts were in blatant contrast with the story as presented in the book. I think it was effective for the movie. I guess I just expected it to be the same since Nicholas Sparks wrote the screenplay before writing the book. (Weird? I think so, but apparently it was because they wanted to shoot the movie last summer.)
In summary, I enjoyed both the book and the movie. If I had to pick, I would probably say I liked the book better. However, I liked the movie a lot more than I expected. Although reading the book beforehand certainly helps fill in the details not explained in the movie, it is not necessary before seeing the movie. In fact, the movie does well on its own. (At the very least, you wouldn't have to keep thinking about what is different from the book!)

Thoughts: The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks
I read The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks last Thursday. Last year, I kind of decided that I wouldn't read more Nicholas Sparks because I wanted happier endings! Then, I started seeing previews for the movie version of The Last Song. Unfortunately, it looked like something I wanted to see. Eventually, I gave in and bought the book because if I was going to see the movie, I had to read the book first. Anyways...
To my surprise, I actually enjoyed The Last Song by the time I finished reading it. Sure, it won't become a classic, but it worked as a quick escape. I had a hard time with the character Ronnie at first. She annoyed be so badly that I was tempted to stop reading. (It's kind of how I picture Miley Cyrus in real life. She plays Ronnie in the movie.) Of course, she evolved and got less annoying as the book progressed. I don't want to give away the ending, but I was satisfied. It seemed more real to me than some of his other books, like it would actually happen in real life. Needless to say, I liked The Last Song much better than the last several Nicholas Sparks books I've read.
I'm planning on seeing the movie, so I'll post something about that later. It comes out on Wednesday, March 31.

Booking Through Thursday: March 25
Booking Through Thursday is a weekly meme about (mostly) books and reading.
Question:
Do you take breaks while reading a book? Or read it straight through? (And, by breaks, I don’t mean sleeping, eating and going to work; I mean putting it aside for a time while you read something else.)
Answer:
Until recently, I would have said straight through. However, since I started reading Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything, I have started and finished two other books. This is very unusual for me because once I start a book, I like to finish it before moving on to another. It has nothing to do with not liking A Short History of Nearly Everything either. I really enjoy Bryson's writing. I feel like I am revisiting science I already know while learning a whole lot more that I don't. I think it's just that at the end of the day, I don't always feel like learning more. I want to read something fun and escape for a while.
Well, in the interest of wrapping this up, I think I'm usually a no breaks kind of girl. Being nonfiction and broken into distinctive chapters, for me, A Short History of Nearly Everything lends itself to taking breaks, more so than a work of fiction ever would.

The Classics Challenge 2010
I am signing up for The Classics Challenge. It runs April 1 - October 31, 2010. Until I see how life goes these next months, for now I'm going to do the Classics Snack level, which is to read four classics. I hope to only read from what I already own and haven't yet read, but I will allow myself to check out a book from the library if it strikes my fancy.
Here are some potential selections:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
Persuasion by Jane Austen
O Pioneers! by Willa Cather
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Completed reads linked to my review:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
There is also a bonus in this challenge to read a book that will likely be a future classic. I think I can handle that. A list is being compiled on the challenge blog. Since I own and have been wanting to read The Poisonwood Bible and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, I will choose one of those for the bonus.

Teaser Tuesday: A Short History of Nearly Everything
This is my first Teaser Tuesday!
Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
Here's my teaser:
"Even at speeds approaching those of light, these are fantastically challenging distances for any traveling individual. Of course, it is possible that alien beings travel billions of miles to amuse themselves by planting crop circles in Wiltshire or frightening the daylights out of some poor guy in a pickup truck on a lonely road in Arizona (they must have teenagers, after all), but it does seem unlikely."
page 27, Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything
Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read.
- Open to a random page.
- Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page.
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Thoughts: Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke
(This is the first review I've ever written, so bear with me while I figure out my style for the blog. I was always good at writing papers in English in school, but this is a completely different way of writing. I'm looking forward to seeing where it takes me!)
I finished Joanne Fluke's Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder yesterday. I checked it out of my local library while I was home for spring break. Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder is the first book in the Hannah Swensen mystery series. Hannah owns a bakery called The Cookie Jar. Her police officer brother-in-law allows her to do some snooping after she finds a local man murdered in the alley behind her shop.
I picked up this book because I saw on goodreads that it was similar to Janet Evanovich's Stephenie Plum series (which I adore!) and I wanted some fun reading for break. Having read the entire Stephenie Plum series multiple times, I am always looking for a similar series. While not as good the Stephenie Plum series, I enjoyed reading Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder. It was light and quick. Perhaps one of the best parts is that recipes are included throughout the book. Since I love new recipes, especially dessert recipes, I found that aspect very appealing. I wrote several of them down to try.
I guess I need to figure out a rating system for the blog, but I gave Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder 3 out of 5 stars on goodreads. Basically, I liked it well enough, but I didn't love it. I am interested in reading some more of the series in the future to see how the characters develop. I'm leaving myself open to the possibility that my fondness for the series could increase.

Book Fair Finds
I am so lucky to live within an hour of the Green Valley Book Fair. It runs for a few weeks, six times a year. I try to go every time it is open because I always find some amazing deals on great books. Basically, it is a huge warehouse full of books discounted between 60-90 percent off retail price. Awesome!
Today, it opened for the first time this year. My sister and I drove there this morning and got there soon after it opened. It was so crowded! Even though it was hard to leisurely peruse the books, I couldn't help but think how great it was to see so many people interested in books.
Here is a list of what I bought today:
American Lion by Jon Meacham
O Pioneers! by Willa Cather
My Ántonia by Willa Cather
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
The World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature by Daniel J. Levitin
Jamestown by Matthew Sharpe

The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty by Eudora Welty

The Taste of Home Cookbook
Taste of Home Cookies
I have only read two of these books before: The Little Prince and A Midsummer Night's Dream. I've read The Little Prince in English and in French. I also read A Midsummer Night's Dream in high school and loved it. My 10th grade honors English class actually put on a performance of it and I was the director. It was a lot of fun.
I got a great deal on the two Taste of Home cookbooks. I'm looking forward to trying out some of the recipes. I love cookbooks and am happy to add these to my collection.
As you can see, I was pretty bad today. I bought a lot of books! Now my TBR pile is even bigger, but I couldn't just leave them there for such great prices.

Rory Gilmore Books Project
I'm signing up for the Rory Gilmore Books Project as my first challenge ever! I love Gilmore Girls and always wanted to be reading what Rory was reading. Imagine my delight when I found out that other people felt the same way! This is a perpetual challenge, so I have plenty of time to read all of the books. My post of the book list can be found here.
