I was worried that I might not have 5 star reads in this year. And now I don't have that worry. The only thing I regret is that I didn't read 'wonder' even though I own it for about 3 years now. I should've read it before. Then I would've known better about things. I didn't shed tears, but my heart felt the pain. Even though this is fiction, knowing that this might've been someone's real story, it really pains me.
Julien, I want to know more about you and read 'wonder' for that, but at the same time I don't want to. It's like when you know the end of the story, you are no longer wants to know about the beginning. I like how they portraited the past and present with each other. Learning from the past and make a good future is good. There were so many things that anyone could've learned from that.
This makes me want to read "Anne Frank's diary" as well. I think I should read that too. I hope I'll be able to come back to this after finish reading those books.
