My Literary Obsession!

Hello loves!! (OMG I feel like a teacher - RANDOM!) Well here I come with my "monthly literary obsession" this is like two months late... but I didn't read any book in December but I bought one a couple of days earlier and I thought I would tell you which book I will start reading on Friday!

So as you guys know I'm obsessed with Nicholas Sparks and I plan on reading every single book he has written til this day and every book he might write (and hopefully he will continue writing). So yeah! as you guessed I bought a Nicholas Sparks book!! I bought The Last Song

I really want to start reading this book!

I don't know if you guys do a little bit of research before you start reading a book, like read the authors bio, read what was his inspiration when writing the book that you are about to read, what was happening in his/her life in the moment, little details like those really do help you understand the book a lot better and somehow relate to the characters a little more.

I have read The Notebook, and Dear John, those are the only books I've read by him, and I had read bios of him in wikipedia or any other page, but I hadn't really read the bio in his page, which he wrote BTW which makes things more reliable and more true because it was Nicholas in fact the one that wrote it. Long story short it's an autobiography!

So I will insert the story of why he wrote The Last Song:
"In August 2008, I learned that Miley Cyrus was interested in the possibility of working with me, and after meeting with executives at Disney, I agreed to write a screenplay entitled The Last Song. Between those three tours, I worked on the screenplay throughout the fall, completing the first draft in December 2008, and the final polish in January 2009. After that, I immediately began writing the novel of the same name. It's odd, I know. Usually, screenplays are adapted from novels (not the other way around) but since I was responsible for both and scheduling necessitated that the film begin shooting in the summer of 2009, I had no other choice. The Last Song, which is both a love story and a coming of age novel, was completed in June 2009, right around the time that filming began." - Nicholas Sparks Autobiography (http://nicholassparks.com/AboutNicholas.asp?PageID=1)

In the part: "Between those three tours" he refers to Dear John, The Lucky One and Nights in Rodanthe. 

I will do an updated post when I'm halfway through the book or maybe when I'm done!
