i love summer.

one reason i love summer is because i get to READ. yes READ. i try and try throughout the school year to really read something for enjoyment, and it never works. there is always something more pressing to read like a math book or something (ya right) but seriously, i just never get a chance to pick up a good book and do nothing but READ. in the summer i can do just that, and this summer is no different. i made a goal to read a book each week of summer camp, and i am going to do just that. one week of camp down, and one book down. i chose to read My Sister's Keeper for many reasons. #1- Jodi Picoult is an amazing author who knows how to mix drama with love, passion, family, medicine, you name it, she can do it. #2- I saw THIS TRAILER. while waiting for some movie to start, and did in fact start crying in the movie theater. Not just a few tears, no I mean a full fledged cry. It was pretty crazy. So I knew I needed to read the book before I saw the movie, and let me just tell you, what a way to start of my book goal. PHENOMENAL book. I loved every minute. I couldnt put it down. It took me maybe 3 days to read it instead of the whole week. Seriously pick it up... I would suggest having some of those handy though...

Hopefully the movie is just as good, but I really dont see how they could go wrong with a heart-wrenching story like this one, especially with all star actors playing the characters too. We shall see though! Hope everyone is having a fantastic summer too!
