My Name Is Memory

I've just finished reading My Name is Memory by Ann Brashers. It was amazing! Very much different from the vampire, angels, fallen angels, werewolves kind of stories. I am very much encouraging you to read this book. Oh, how I hope there will be a second book because I feel that there will be one since there's that feeling of one wanting to read more. I think Lucy and Daniel's story is going to continue and I hope Ann writes a second book, I truly do.

The story's about Lucy and Daniel and how Daniel copes up with lifetimes of being with Lucy (which in her previous lives were called Sophia and Constance). Daniel has the Memory and he remembers every single lives he's had and how he first met Lucy and that in so many years, he's searched for her. He's seen her as a child, an old woman, a teenager in different times and with different appearances but still, he knows it's her.

I guess that's all the story I can narrate to you. It's such a very good-- the best-- story. It really fascinated me how different it is from all the stories that comes out. I guess what you can say about the book is that soul mates really do exist.

And while I was reading, I can't help but write some quotable quotes. Here they are:

• How many times could you give up on someone you loved?
• The petty workings of your birdlike mind brought you down, and forgetting was your only salvation.
• Someday was the thing he had, because it was a lot harder to ruin than today.
• I can't describe how thrilling it was to be with someone like me, and how little of myself I shared with most people.
• As I've said, it's desire more than anything else that keeps us coming back for more.
• The regrets stay with you. They distort you over time.
• Please believe him. Keep your heart open to him. He can make you happy. He has always loved you, and you once loved him with all your heart.
• She wished she could swap her days for her nights, her reality for dreams.
• Love who you love while you have them. That's all you can do. Let them go when you must. If you know how to love, you'll never run out.
• You remember what is lost, and you forget what's right in front of you.
• Love demands everything, they say, but my love demands only this: that no matter what happens or how long it takes, you'll keep faith in me, you'll remember who we are, and you'll never feel despair.
