I have sooooo many books! I have a ton of print books and probably even more e-books. The Book Spotlight feature that I typically post every Saturday is a way for me to clear my shelves and to share some of the books I have. There are a lot of different reasons that I might be letting some of my books go, the biggest one is that we recently moved and I discovered how many books I really do have. This feature is a way for my to cull my collection and to give someone else the opportunity to enjoy them.
The book that I am featuring this week is one that I read and loved. It starts so intensely and you just have to keep reading. I have not seen the movie but I hear it is great. The movie trailer is below in case you haven't seen it either. And Where She Went (If I Stay, Book 2) is on my TBR list.
Good luck and be sure to stop back next week!
If I Stay (If I Stay #1)
If I Stay (If I Stay #1)
If I Stay by Gayle Forman
Series: If I Stay #1
Paperback, and e-book, 217 pages
Published April 6th 2010 by Speak
The critically acclaimed, bestselling novel from Gayle Forman, author of Where She Went, Just One Day, Just One Year, and the forthcoming I Was Here.
On a day that started like any other, Mia had everything: a loving family, a gorgeous, admiring boyfriend, and a bright future full of music and full of choices. In an instant, almost all of that is taken from her. Caught between life and death, between a happy past and an unknowable future, Mia spends one critical day contemplating the only decision she has left. It is the most important decision she'll ever make.
Simultaneously tragic and hopeful, this is a romantic, riveting, and ultimately uplifting story about memory, music, living, dying, loving.

Doesn't that look so good?

I read this book, I went on an emotional roller coaster with Mia and Adam. I laughed, I cried, and couldn't wait to turn the page. I am reading Where she went now, poor Adam I so hope it works out.

ReplyDeleteI haven't read If I Stay but have heard many recommendations from other people.
ReplyDeleteI feel like it has some paranormal element, I suppose? Not sure since haven't read it but really want to to discover if it truly is that good.
I am also aware about book two being titled 'Where She Went'.
Thanks for the opportunity.
