Thanks for the memories- by: Cecelia Ahern

This book tackles the idea of blood transferring more than just life but "someone's" life history and memories. We are introduced to two main characters, Joyce and Justin, who are from different sides of the world. With Joyce's loss of her child, marrage, and job and Justin's wish to finally give instead of take starts the story of their psychic romance. As I read I am reminded of those frequent feelings I have had where life's mysteries are explained through one eerie coincidence. Are they just coincidences or are they aquired knowledge from breathing other's air, sipping a glass, or entering the same room as another.

The Walk- by: Richard Paul Evans

The Walk by Richard Paul Evans is a book of 289 pages and read quickly. I like how quickly the main character, Alan Christoffersen's life falls to pieces and he finds a way to gather new pieces by going for a "long" walk from Seattle to Florida, Key. Although he finds something interesting in his travels, I was left wanting more. I hope the promise of a series will provide deeper answers to the many questions that arise through out the book. Many of which are: Does life change its meaning with tragedy? In being forced to let go of all that we know, do we invite more than we could ever wish for? How can something so horrible become the catalyst of something so wonderful?
