New Releases March 5 - 10

Dear Readers,

I am reading a book right now that I have been so pleasantly surprised by.  I wasn't sure what I expected, but I am so enjoying the book.  I am reading every chance I get and don't want it to end quite yet, but I am close. 

One thing I am not looking forward to is the idea that the main character may die before the end of the book.  I can't tell for sure, just that is where this seems to be leading and I am not excited about it.  It was something that is talked about right at the beginning of the book and I was sure I didn't want to grow attached to the main character.  But that didn’t work out so good, because the writer has done such a beautiful job of making the character a person I have grown to love, almost from the beginning. 

I am not sure how I will react if and when the character dies.  I have wept over characters that pass that were my favorites.   I find interesting that I can’t say I have experienced that often though as most of the time authors elect not to kill off main characters.  Evil characters die often, but good and beloved characters very seldom die.  I can think of exceptions to the rule.  Charles Martin quite often kills off one of his characters, Nichols Sparks usually does also.  Those are emotionally charged books and I can’t imagine them being any other way, but they also don’t make me cry as I see it coming. 

How about you?  Have you ever cried over a book?  I have actually heard people that have asked for prayers for someone only to realize that the people they are asking for are characters in a book.   That is a good book. 

Happy Reading
