Book Review: The Last Lecture

Picture found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Lecture

    The Last Lecture is a book written by Randy Pausch with the help of Jeffrey Zaslow.  He filled the book with stories about his life and the lessons he learned after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.  
    I had to read this book for school, and based on the description, I didn't think I would really like it.  However, I really, truly enjoyed reading it.  A lot of Pausch's stories are really entertaining and educational.  His lessons are phenomenal, and it is overall a beautiful book.
    I highly recommend this book.  It's a quick read, and it's worth the time.

P.S.- Sorry that this is such a short review and that I haven't been posting very often.  I've been pretty busy.  I'll try to get more posts up soon. 

Currently reading: The Maze Runner by James Dashner (I'm not very far yet.  I have no time to read!)

Ann Brashares Book Signing

Hello, Bookworms!

On Friday, May 2 at 7:00, the novelist Ann Brashares, author of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Series and The Here and Now, was visiting a Books-a-Million in my area.  I went with a friend to meet her because I really loved the first two books of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.  I got the third and fourth books signed, and it was really cool to finally meet an author with a book that I love.  I've met other authors before at school, but they were never authors that wrote books that I'd previously read.  I was really excited to meet Ann Brashares, and now, I have!  I strongly recommend reading The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Series.  It's really funny, but there are serious and even sad scenes woven in.  They are very good.  I'm hoping to read the third and fourth books soon along with The Here and Now, which seems really good.  Below are pictures of the signed pages from bother books and me standing next to Ann Brashares.

Until next post,
Regan
