Still Alice

To all of your surprises, I actually read. I've just finished reading this one book called Still Alice which is about a well respected Harvard professor, Alice getting alzheimer and her struggles through it. This book started off pretty slow despite the fact that it's really thin but oh my gosh, after the super boring first 10 pages, it got so good that I couldn't stop reading it. I forget something every single day. I forget my cell phone most of the time and leave it somewhere. I could never find my lotion so I have two of each(one in the bathroom and one in somewhere in the apartment) and I also have two glasses because I could never find them. I'm sure I annoy the hell out of people around me and in a very tiny bit I feel like I could relate to Alice. No, it's nothing like what any alzheimer pation and their family are going through, it's really nothing, but I feel her pain, and her family's pain. Ugh, this book just hit me deep in the heart. Aimeeways, it's not just a sad alzheimer story so people don't get depressed and if you have spare time, you should read this book.

Btw, before I finished reading Still Alice I read The Time Traverler's Wife and I think it was the best novel I've read this year (to be honest, I only read three books this year lol) I'm not sure how the movie is, but you should definitely get yourself a copy of The Time Traverler's Wife. If the ending doesn't make you cry, you are one cold hearted, you know what. It's not really a sad story though. It's super funny too. Ok, enough of me babbling about books.
People, have a great week!

You are too cute! Maybe I will pick up the book with my newly acquired library card :)

I really like that blazer you have on, too. Fits like a glove!

Sher said...

Love how you paired the floral dress with the blazer!

I love The Time Traveler's Wife too, I read it a year ago and I'm re-reading it this year before I watch the movie, cos I'm a nerd like that:) Have to check out Still Alice, sounds like a really good read!

I love florals & the blazer/skirt combination is amazing.

After reading your review of Still Alice, you've made me want to read it! And this is coming from someone that doesn't really read that much. Sounds very interesting.

Thanks for your comment.

xx,
Ale.

Alice said...

cool, i might have to pick that up at the library.

THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE WAS THE BEST BOOK I'VE READ THIS YEAR TOO.
i read it in two days on the beach just in time for the movie that we watched at a drive-in (i actually finished it when the production companies' names were on the screen!

the movie was a really big disappointment compared to the book. i mean, the cast was alright (i'm a fan of rachel mcadams, and something about eric bana is hot. and the girls who play Alba are so so so cute, but not at all how i imagined them to look). and it's really choppy and they skip out a lot of the good parts.

kimvee said...

Mara said...

The Time Traverler's Wife is SO good! I was sobbing at the end. Omg such a great book!

Christen said...

The blazer is stunning. Can't believe it's a vintage find. It looks so polished and new. Goes perfectly with that floral skirt!

Lini said...

honey, i've got a question....
I've seen these louboutin sales adds everywhere on the internet and I'm wondering... how can I be sure that I'm not getting fake ones from china or so you know? I already mailed to one of these online stores but never got an answer.. and as I see the add on your blog I was wondering wether you know anything about it or have ordered already or so.
Maybe you can help me this would be awesome!
XOXO

Mouthwash said...

lovely booties! And the skirt with the blazer looks great.

To Lini above: if anything reguarding Christian Loub's sounds too good to be true...it is. The shoes in those ads are fake. Only trust discounted Louboutin's from Neimans, Sax's and Bloomingdales.

Great post!

I read The Time Traveler's Wife about a month ago, and I also thought it was really good. I have to admit, I cried almost through the whole last chapter. And it is in fact one of the best books I have read.

By the way, I really like your sense of style :-)
