The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom

Before, we said that we have never read a Mitch Albom book. Now, we can honestly say that we have since we have just finished reading The Time Keeper. We realized that it would be perfect for our Wibbly Wobbly Wednesdays post so we chose it for the post. 

Title: The Time Keeper

Author: Mitch Albom

Hardcover: 224 pages

Publisher: Hyperion

Synopsis (via Goodreads): 

In this fable, the first man on earth to count the hours becomes Father Time. The inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure God's greatest gift. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more days, more years. Eventually, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a magical hourglass and a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two earthly people the true meaning of time.

He returns to our world--now dominated by the hour-counting he so innocently began--and commences a journey with two unlikely partners: one a teenage girl who is about to give up on life, the other a wealthy old businessman who wants to live forever. To save himself, he must save them both. And stop the world to do so.

We realized that Mitch Albom truly is a great author. This book was beautiful and heartwarming. We were transported into The Time Keeper's world and got lost in it. We loved it from the very first page and we thought that we should share this to all of you so that you can also see how great this book is. We are looking forward to reading more of Mitch Albom's works. We hope Mitch remains as good an author as he is now.

This week's topic is top ten popular authors we've never read.

We are so ashamed to admit that we haven't read any books of these popular authors, YET! :(  

1. Mitch Albom 

A lot of people have been giving praise to Mitch Albom and Mitch Albom's books. I don't know why I haven't read any of his books yet, but I could always blame that to my never ending tbr list. HEEHEE.

2. Maureen Johnson 

If you know me, you would know that I simply ADORE Maureen Johnson. I've been stalking her Twitter and blog for such a long time now, BUT - my secret? I have NEVER read a single book written by her EVER. Not even a short story. Not anything. It's just that I'm afraid I won't like her books and my perception of her would just get ruined... did that make sense? I know I'm weird that way.

3. Veronica Rossi

Why haven't I read Under the Never Sky before? I really do not know.

4. Stephenie Meyer

I know that Twilight has become really popular but I haven't read the books yet! I think that this is mainly because it is too mainstream and I'm actually scared I won't like it (a lot of people hate it).

5. Stephen King

It's not that I don't like horror or thriller novels, it's just that I've never been a fan of this genre. I have read a few horror books that I have actually liked but have never gotten the urge to read one of Stephen's works yet. Even though his books are quite popular and I've been hearing a lot about them, I still haven't tried reading one. 

6. Jenny Han

Oh, it feels like I'm the only one who hasn't swooned over a Jenny Han book yet. Next time. I promise.

7. William Shakespeare

I know that it is probably a crime to have not yet read at least one of Shakespeare's books but I can honestly say that I've never read one. I have already established that I don't really read classics and this is not an exception. But yes, in the future!

8. Jane Austen
Oh, again with the classics. I'm sorry but I will definitely try this out next time!

9. J. K. Rowling
I have watched the movies and both Kimi and Audrey have told me a lot about the books so it seems a bit like I've read the books myself! Sadly though, I haven't but I promise to read the books soon!

10. Dan brown

I know that a lot of controversy has been revolving around Dan Brown's books but I have never read a single one of them. For a while around last year, all I could hear from people are their opinions on Dan Brown's books. I was a bit curious but not enough to actually pick up one.
