My Book Beginning
The Marble Collector by Cecelia Ahern
When it comes to memory there are three categories: things I want to forget, things I can’t forget, and things I’d forgotten until I remember them.
I love the opening to this novel as it just says so much truth; there really are three categories of memories. I have a really good memory when it comes to remembering the things I’d rather forget so this book really appeals to me in such a big way.
I bought this book as a treat for myself recently and really hope to have time to read it soon, especially now I’ve read the opening line!
This is on my tbr. Looking forward to hearing what you think of it.
I hope to read it soon and will definitely be reviewing it once I’ve read it. 🙂
Cecelia Ahern is usually an auto-buy author for me but I completely didn’t even notice this book! Definitely adding it to my TBR now and I look forward to your review!
I didn’t hear about it in advance of it coming out either, I just happened to spot it on release day. 🙂
I enjoy this author, and love the sound of this one! Thanks for sharing, and here’s mine: “THE BLACK WIDOW”
I like the sound of that snippet. 🙂
Check out my Friday 56 (With Book Beginning).
That’s a great beginning. I have trouble with “things I want to forget,” so I can definitely relate!
My Friday post features The Mirror.
I really like the sound of this – great choice – will be adding it to my list. Here’s My Friday Post
OH….I love that sentence.
It sums me up especially the one about forgetting about things until I remember.
Thanks for sharing.

It just says everything about memory, doesn’t it?
