This week I’m jumping back to 2012. I was new to Goodreads and had just started reading more fiction (normally I read non-fiction).  I was looking through E.L. James reading list and saw that she loved On The Island.  I’ve always been intrigued by what  authors read. . .  so I picked this one up and I loved it.

On June 3, 2012, I read On The Island by Tracy Garvis Graves.  To this day it’s still one of my favorite books.  When I get asked for a book recommendation I always say this one.  I hope someday we’ll get to watch it on the big screen.

I have to admit I have read this book 4 times. The first time was after I saw E.L. James praise for this book.  My second time was shortly after I finished it for the first time.  That time My husband came home from work and found me crying.  When he found out I was re-reading a book  and I was bawling again… he just shook his head.   I looked at him and told him that I was going to read it to him so he could see why I was crying.

Every night after we put the kids to bed we would snuggle up in bed and read this one.

He would read TJ’s parts and I read Ana’s.  Our bed became the  island.

Yes, my husband loved it!! He had a book hangover after we finished.

The fourth time was a re-read with my friend, KC.  I was her moral support.  If you haven’t read this one you really should.  It’s a beautiful love story  with forbidden romance in it.  No worries . . . nothing happens between them when he’s underage.
