A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks [young adult, romance]
This is the third Nicholas Sparks book I'm reading. Sadly, the last two didn't live up to my expectations.
There was a time when the world was sweeter… when the women in Beaufort, North Carolina, wore dresses, and the men donned hats… Every April, when the wind smells of both the sea and lilacs, Landon Carter remembers 1958, his last year at Beaufort High. Landon had dated a girl or two, and even once sworn that he’d been in love. Certainly the last person he thought he’d fall for was Jamie, the shy, almost ethereal daughter of the town’s Baptist minister… Jamie, who was destined to show him the depths of the human heart—and the joy and pain of living.

Quotes from "The Lucky One" by Nicholas Sparks
This is my second attempt at reading Nicholas Sparks. I read "At First Sight" earlier before this but didn't like it that much.
Goodreads | Amazon | My Review (coming soon)
“His ex-wife used to do that, too. That woman treated dogs like people, which should have warned him to stay away from her in the first place.” (p. 9)
“Stick two different people with two different sets of expectations under one roof and it ain't always going to be shrimp and grits on Easter.” (p. 42)
“The Marine Corps is based on the number 3. It was one of the first things they taught you in basic training. Made things easy to understand. Three marines made a fire team, three fire teams made a squad, three squads made a platoon, three platoons made a company, three companies made a battalion, and three battalions made a regiment. On paper, anyway.” (p. 54)

The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom [inspirational]
Since this year I want to read some books that people have recommended to me, I begin with this one.
Eddie is a wounded war veteran, an old man who has lived, in his mind, an uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him as he tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination, but an answer. In heaven, five people explain your life to you. Some you knew, others may have been strangers. One by one, from childhood to soldier to old age, Eddie's five people revisit their connections to him on earth, illuminating the mysteries of his "meaningless" life, and revealing the haunting secret behind the eternal question: "Why was I here?"
