Hello bookworms!! Standalone Sunday is a weekly meme created by Megan @bookslayerreads!! She also created the graphic above and gave us permission to use it. This meme is about a standalone book (that is not part of a series) that you loved and would recommend. I highly recommend you check out her blog. Her content is amazing and she is the sweetest.
I know you are all probably wondering why I posted a picture of multiple books. I wanted to recommend a Nicholas Sparks book because like I have said several times on my blog he is my favorite author. All of the books that I have actually read by him are currently packed up though so I couldn’t take a picture of a specific book. Even though I would recommend all of his work (at least the ones I have read so far) for the sake of todays post I am going to go with The Last Song!
Goodreads Synopsis
Seventeen year-old Veronica “Ronnie” Miller’s life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alienated from her parents, especially her father… until her mother decides it would be in everyone’s best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him.
Ronnie’s father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church. The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story about love in its myriad forms – first love, the love between parents and children – that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that deeply felt relationships can break our hearts… and heal them.
I absolutely love all of Nicholas Sparks’ book. They are always so relatable. His characters always go through real life problems some of which I have personally gone through myself in a way. Plus there’s usually a romance that takes place as well. When I first read this book I literally couldn’t put it down and I cried like a baby. I don’t want to say to much about it because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone. Also, this probably will not be the only Nicholas Sparks book that I recommend sorry guys I just love his books so much.
What standalone book would you recommend? Feel free to participate in this meme!!

I’ve fallen behind on his books unfortunately. I haven’t read his last 3 yet. But Two by Two is on my TBR for this month!

I haven’t read some of his early books and I haven’t read some of his newer books. I kinda just read them as I find them.

Well you won’t be disappointed in any of the books. I’m rebuilding my collection as well. I don’t have all of them on my kindle yet. So that’s a priority for sure.

If I got them on my kindle I could probably get them all quicker but I want to have all the physical books.

Can you believe I’ve never read a Nicholas Sparks book? Although The Notebook is one of my all-time favorite movies, and makes me cry every single time I watch it. Ever since I’ve watched that movie, I’ve always wanted to read his work, but haven’t gotten around to it it seems. Not sure why, either… because I’ve only ever heard wonderful things about his work! Great post and thank you so much for the recommendation(s)! 😉

Thank you. I don’t even remember how I got into reading his books I just know that I love them. He is one of those authors that when he comes out with a new book I automatically want it even though I don’t know what it’s about.

He’s one of your auto-buy authors! That’s awesome! I definitely need to read some of his work then. I have hardly any auto-buy authors… maybe I can add one to my list! I would love to find an author that I just love every single thing they write.
