Safe Haven: The Book



So I just read Safe Haven and I thought it was pretty good! A lot of the book was pretty much your average chick flick, but there was also a flare (the whole second half of the book actually) of mystery and suspense that I wasn’t expecting. There was quite a bit of violence, which grossed me out, but the book was surprisingly clean aside from that. I really enjoyed the family themes in this story that aren't usually typical in love stories. One of the main characters was a father of two young children and the way that the characters interacted with the kids in the book was really sweet.

While reading it, I became so sucked in that I couldn’t get anything done. This is pretty typical of my reading habits, which is why I usually try to steer clear of books during the semester. Sometimes I wonder how people are able to read for just an hour or two before bed every night, because I would be up all night reading if I tried that. Any thoughts out there? Because I could really use some tips in this area. I’m pretty sure that I won’t be able to read on a regular basis until I’m 75 years old.

  1. I read every single night before I go to bed. It helps calm me down! And you just have to make yourself put the book down some nights!

  2. i have the exact same problem! i always have to put off my leisure reading until semesters are over because I will totally end up neglecting my studies entirely...increased leisure reading time is one of the many things i'm looking forward to after graduation!

  3. I also have this same problem! I love to read. However, I am not disciplined enough to put it off till after the semester. Which might just be why I fall so behind in reading my textbooks... And I also loved the book Safe Haven and the movie too!
