I have often thought about keeping track of the last sentences of the books I read. I keep track of the first. So, it would be a nice way to round it out. I just might not share those like I do the first sentences since some might reveal too much.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-47419629482065266152015-08-27T20:40:01.865-05:002015-08-27T20:40:01.865-05:00I often think of the ending of Book Thief when I&#...I often think of the ending of Book Thief when I'm watching the news.

There are so many great endings. Many of them don't make as much sense out of context but some really give you the sense of the whole book. That ending of Wild Things is a sentence that I based my entire child rearing on - discipline with a love that says you will always love them no matter what they do.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-35524861837029389902015-08-27T20:35:46.999-05:002015-08-27T20:35:46.999-05:00Oh yes - read The Handmaid's Tale!
