"The author of the runaway "New York Times" bestseller "The Notebook" pens a tale of self-discovery, renewal, and the courage it takes to love again. When a 36-year-old single mother finds a love letter in a half-buried bottle while jogging along the shores of Cape Cod, she decides to take a dramatic leap that will forever change her life."

My mom gave me a box filled with books she plans to get rid of. This one is among them, but it's not really my style so I'm passing it on.

This book is now part of a bookring!

A bookring is when a book is sent from one person to another through a list of members who have signed up for it and eventually ends up safe and sound back home with the person who started the bookring—me!

Here are the guidelines for this bookring:

1. When the person before you on the list is done reading the book they will send you a personal message (PM) asking you for your address. If you feel that you are too busy at that time to read the book within a reasonable time period (about 1 month), ask that person to skip you and go to the next person on the list. If this happens, PM me to let me know what’s going on and, if you want, I may be able to move you down the list so you can try again later.

2. When you receive the book, make a journal entry letting everyone know where the book is. Keep in mind that there are other people waiting to read the book after you, so try not to take too long to read it. A general rule of thumb is to have the book in your possession for no longer than one month. If you know you won’t be able to get to the book within a month, pass it on to the next person on the list, PM me letting me know, and I can move you down the list so you can try again later if you’d like. If you’re reading the book and it’s taking you longer than expected to finish, make a journal entry letting everyone know! Remember, there’s no such thing as too many journal entries.

3. When you’re done (or almost done) reading the book, send a PM to the next person on the list asking for their address. Even if you think you already know that person’s address, it’s a good idea to double-check to make sure their address hasn’t changed—and also make sure the list order hasn’t changed since you checked it last. If the next person on the list doesn’t respond to your PM within several days, try again. If you still get no response within one week, PM me to let me know what’s going on and then skip this person and try the next person on the list.

4. After you’ve finished the book, journal a quick review of it for us letting us know what you thought of it!

5. Send the book to the next person on the list and post a journal entry letting everyone know it’s on its way. Sit back, relax, and watch the journals as the book completes its journey!

Released on Friday, March 26, 2004 at sent to bookcrosser in Mailed, Bookring Controlled Releases.

I mailed this book to Casperette this morning. Bye bye, book, see ya later!

Jusr received in the mail today! : ) My first bookring book has arrived!! I will get on this right away and then be sure to send it to the next one on the list!! Thanks! It looks wonderful!!!

I just finished this book and I have to rate it a ten. Many times when I see a movie and later read the book I find myself picturing the movie and mentally skipping ahead. This book I feel was written very well and captured my interest from the start. I am so glad I was able to experience it through this bookring as I probably would not have thought to read it on my own. It is now off to princess1984. Enjoy!!

Got this in the mail today as part of a bookring I am in. I will read as soon as I finish the book I am currently on.

This was a really good book, like all of Nicholas Sparks' books.

I didn't completely like the ending, but I am glad that it didn't follow the normal and predicatble "happlily ever after" that most fiction does.

I will be passing it on, as soon as I get my paycheck.

Mailing out within the next 2 days

arrived in yesterdays mail. I cant wait to read yet another Sparks novel.

A friend of mine bought me a copy of this book to cheer me up with all the stress of my son practically living at the doctors office lately. (She knows what a sucker I am for Sparks!) So since I have a new copy of my own, I will be sending this copy on to Tuff517 ASAP.
Thanks for the chance to be a part of this bookring. So far from what I have read I have loved it. Another great Sparks novel. What can I say, I really am a sucker for Sparks!

Received this today and I'll be starting on it right away!

Wow, that was a quick read. Light reading and I was very surprised by the ending. I've never seen the movie but I couldn't get the image of Kevin Costner out of my head. Oh well. Nice book, easy to read and kept my interest. Heading off to Enidq.
