Bookworm: For one More Day


I have a new book :) from my favorite author, Mitch Albom.

So far I've read 2 of his books and each book are so touching and indeed captivating. I am on my 3rd book now, this all new, FOR ONE MORE DAY. I so love his works because his words are powerful and inducing me with so much emotions. You'll surely love to read his books over and over again. Believe me! :)

Mitch's works that I've read:

Tuesdays with Morrie: "An old man, a young man and life's greatest lesson"

An elegant simple story about a writer(Mitch himself) getting a second chance to discover life through the last months of his dying college professor.


The Five People You meet in Heaven: "All ending are beginnings. We just don't know it at the time..."

Mitch Albom gives a superbly original story that will change everything you've ever thought about the after-life and the meaning of our lives on earth.


For one more day: "What If you had one more with someone you'd lost?"

I just finished this book, it's a TWO THUMBS UP! It touched me and made me realize and believe in the eternal power of a mother's love.

It is the story of a mother and a son, and a relationship that covers a lifetime and beyond. It explores the question: What would you do if you could spend one more day with a lost loved one?

As a child, Charley “Chick” Benetto was told by his father, “You can be a mama’s boy or a daddy’s boy, but you can’t be both.” So he chooses his father, only to see the man disappear when Charley is on the verge of adolescence.

Decades later, Charley is a broken man. His life has been crumbled by alcohol and regret. He loses his job. He leaves his family. He hits bottom after discovering his only daughter has shut him out of her wedding. And he decides to take his own life.

He makes a midnight ride to his small hometown, with plans to do himself in. But upon failing even to do that, he staggers back to his old house, only to make an astonishing discovery. His mother -- who died eight years earlier -- is still living there, and welcomes him home as if nothing ever happened.



*All of Mitch Albom's books talk about the IMPORTANCE OF OUR LIVES and LIFE'S GREATEST LESSONS.

*For one more day is now a TV-movie event starring Michael Imperioli and Ellen Burstyn that would be aired in December 9 I think on ABC.
