This Friday’s Question:
Making a Difference: Which book(s) would you put in the hands of today’s teenagers in hopes of making a difference in their lives?
The BIBLE – There is no other book as important and as influential as the word of God. More than any other book, this one is the most essential to every person’s life.
I couldn’t think of any book to add, but this one immediately popped into my mind.
THE LAST SONG by Nicholas Sparks

Q. If you could change the ending of any book (or series), which book would you choose? And, why?
A. I chose FORBIDDEN by Tabitha Suzuma
This book has always been one my favorites–it is disturbingly beautiful that I couldn’t get it out of my head. I was torn when I finish this book and my heart still breaks every time I think about it. The ending was really good and I couldn’t think of a better alternative. The author has written it very well and I think it’s the appropriate way to end the story. It was just so emotional and heart-breaking that sometimes I wish it has a happy ending. I don’t want to change it….just thinking of what-could-have-beens….
P.S. So sorry I have to edit my statement ‘cos I don’t want others to misinterpret my opinion about Forbidden. It was a great book and I don’t want to spoil anyone who wants to read it. So here, I put the Spoiler last so anyone can skip this part =)
HERE’S THE SPOILER, YOU COULD STOP READING 🙂
What if Logan didn’t have to die? That maybe there’s another way that Maya and Logan can be together and their siblings can have a good future too. In the end, they could found out that they’re not really siblings so it won’t be disgusting to think that they will get married and have their family of their own…. (ok, it will be a lame ending though… =)
This week’s topic:
“What are you most looking forward to this fall/autumn season – A particular book release? Halloween? The leaves changing color? Cooler temperatures? A vacation? (If your next season is other than fall/autumn, tell us about it and what you are most looking forward to in your part of the world!)”
We don’t have Fall/Autumn Season =) We only got Summer and Rainy Days here, and while most of you are excited for Fall/Autumn season to come, we’re preparing for our rainy days season. We might have another rainy Halloween, or worse, stormy one! It happens basically every year, so it’s not that fun anymore. But I will surely grab a handful of books by that time. There will be lots of good titles to be release during that season. It might be too early but, Happy Halloween! =B
I also answered with Forbidden on the follow friday! I completely agree with your answer…so sad.

Oh dude! Didn't know that about Forbidden! Read the spoiler since I thought I didn't want to read it since I had read the couple were bro and sis. Thought it a little too weird. But now, whoa!
That's a shame that you don't have a nice fall season. Hopefully the rainy weather won't be too bad. And at least it won't be super hot–hopefully!
Here's my Friday Hops
Have a GREAT weekend!

Hey April, stopping back to say hey! And to answer your question about Nocturne. True, Christine Johnson wrote a book called Nocturne that's book 2 in her Claire de Lune series, but there is another book called Nocturne by Syrie James and this is the one I was referring to.

Forbidden is a awesome choice for an ending-alternative. I was crying like a baby when I read those final chapters!
But I honestly can't see, in my mind, how the ending could be changed. Either way, they probably wouldn't have been able to be together again, you know? Such a tragic book, really makes you think!
Great choice, and I'm now following you as well!

Hi April!
I haven't read Forbidden yet but I did notice it was on a lot of blogs yesterday. I think I'm going to have to read it soon. Last song although I didn't read the book I saw the movie and I was so emotional the whole time. I definitely will be reading the book soon.

You should still read Lord of the Flies…many people I know really enjoyed it (including the ending I love to hate). Glad you didn't read the spoiler.
