I have finished reading "The Secret Lives of Bees". It had a really sad ending and left you wishing for more but I think it is the perfect ending in a way. My favorite passage in this book is the following:
This is what I know about myself. She was all I wanted. And I took her away.
I liked this phrase because it is so simple yet it has so much sorrow and pain at the same time.

That is such a beautiful line...just from that phrase and what you said I really want to read the book now. Even though I havn't read the book I know what you mean about endings like that it drives me crazy that even though it seems like such a great and perfect ending you still really want more. Would you lend me the book? :D
The phase is very sad..... so peaceful and beautiful too.
i'm going to read this book next.
I love your blog!!! The picture (background of title) is soo pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDD
What's wrong with the ending? what is the ending?? I want to know..!
Hey Miriam! That is a pretty good passage. I wonder why he took her away. It really made me think. I hope you are enjoying your book.
Well glad you enjoyed the book. :D
That is a pretty yet sad line. Yeah, I hate endings that have you wanting more but won't have a sequel or epilouge. I hate having to imagine the ending myself. I guess you really like the Secret Life of Bees. :)
Yea what edith said, That's a beautiful line. I wish i could read it but then again, is it a chick book *laugh out loud*, How long is the book? Please tell me more about the book. You know where to reach me
thanks -Jose
Ooo, that is a very nice line indeed. I was going to read this book soon, but now you've made me want to read it more :D
I love books that make you want more, but at the same time you don't want more.
