For 2009, I have many things planned for my business, and one of them is, is to BLOG about me more! I really want my clients, future clients, friends, and family to get to know me better. I thought Tuesday would be a good day to do a little something about me every week…until I run out, so here is my first Tuesday’s Tidbits post. I am not an avid reader, something I would like to work on, but there is one author I read regularly and try and get his new books the day they come out. Nicholas Sparks is his name and I’m sure many of you are familiar with either his books, or movies made into books such as; “Message in a Bottle“, “A Walk to Remember“, “The Notebook“, and most recently, “Nights in Rodanthe.”
His books are love stories and most if not all have some basis in his and his families lives, which is pretty neat. Also, the stories take place where he lives, in North Carolina, which I think is great as North Carolina is so pretty and he knows it well. Weird little fact; whenever I am reading his current book, it has some parallel’s into my life at the time…seriously….freaky! I am a huge fan of love stories in general, which goes for movies along with books…I can’t help it, I love the emotion in them. Yes, I do even have one of my books signed by him and I must say I was one of the only men there at the signing. I’m fine with it…I love his books and I can’t wait for his next one!
Did you know he holds a record on Notre Dame’s 4 x 800mm relay team? Do you like Nicholas Sparks? Which is my favorite you ask? Why “The Notebook” of course, but honestly, about 80% of his books I feel are on par with how awesome “The Notebook” is. Both the book and movie are captivating and it’s definitely the best book to movie of his stories.
Dennis Bullock - Sparks is great! I think my favorite is Three Weeks With My Brother.
Amanda @ Bliss - I think I got a little too giddy seeing this post. I LOVE Nicholas Sparks and have read all but one of his books. It is nice to see that you have a great taste for good books. 🙂
Tira J - Finally, a man who likes and has confessed to the world that he likes Nicholas Sparks. He is also my favorite author and I have every one of his books. Kind of jealous that you have a signed copy though. And I am a little behind in reading some of his books because of graduate school. They are so good that I want to start over. Cheers to you Dustin!
Mom - You are such my son! Sparks fan I am for a long time… Dustin fan I am for even longer! Love ya Dusty!
Melissa - He is one of my favorite authors too! I made the mistake of seeing the Notebook in the theater…I have never cried that hard over a movie in my life. Love the “tuesday tidbits” idea. Keep on blogging! It’s great to see so many new posts from you!
Miranda - I have them all. once I start to read one I can not put it down. the only one I am not really interested in reading is two weeks with my brother….thoughts on it?
