day four {favorite book}

i will admit that since becoming a mother my time spent reading has dwindled down to nothing.  this makes me sad.  therefore, i'm open to all suggestions on good books.  but i do have a favorite book.  it's old and it's actually known for the movie version.  yes, i said version.  it isn't near as good and it really isn't even the same.  the notebook by nicholas sparks is so sweet.  it's a short easy read that will remind you what love means.  i read this long before the movie came out and while most girls were so pleased and loved the movie i felt short changed.  i thought - wow.  the book was so much better.  did this film even do it justice?  overall i suppose it did because it made lots of money and was a box office hit but personally i'm just not so sure.  i suppose you just can't recreate a good book.
