Have a Little Faith

So, I decided that today was the perfect day to buy a new book so I could eventually mark off #54 (Read a book for pleasure) off my list. At first, I didn't know what book I wanted to read...so I browsed Oprah's Book Club books, but didn't see anything I liked. I then browsed the New York Times Best Sellers List...and although Chelsea Handler's new book seemed entertaining, it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, so I kept searching...


My favorite book of ALL time is The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom. Seriously, best book I ever read. It makes you cry, it makes you appreciate everyone in your life, it's inspirational all around. Because I liked this book so much, I ended up reading his other book Tuesdays with Morrie and then read For One More Day when it came out...again...both books make you cry, appreciate the little things, and inspire you. Key ingredients for a great book!


Well, I've been patiently waiting for Mitch (yes, we are on a first name basis) to write another book. I've literally been waiting since his last book in 2006! (I was at the bookstore the day of its release to buy it!) So I decided to get onto his website and see if he had a new book in the works....and what do I find..................

A NEW BOOK!?!?
RELEASED 9-29-09!?!?!
WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE TELL ME!?!?
Geez, I am the worst "fan" ever!!! So, obviously I was pissed for not knowing sooner, but excited that now I have something to read that I know I will enjoy! And it is a TRUE STORY....even better!!! So, of course, I immediately bought this book online and now I patiently await for its arrival!

Dear New Book,
I can't wait to read you!
Love - Jacqueline

***Update***fabulous book! Not as good as The Five People You Meet in Heaven, but it's still a great book based on a true story. I would read his other books first, but this one is still a good read.
