This book was Amazing! I remember the film too bc Stanley Tucci was in it. Aside from that, it was good but the book is better.

panBook one down for #Scarathlon2022
I was really disappointed by this book. It was so boring but felt like it was leading up to something and then it never came.

i wanted to love this book. i really did. however beautiful the beginning and end were, what filled the middle section of the novel moved at such an odd pace i found myself often bored and uninterested. alice sebold is able to connect heaven and earth in such a unique fashion, which is fun to read about. however, i wasn‘t a fan of sebold‘s vernacular and use of run-on sentences, as they left me often confused.
“These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence: the connections… that happened after I was gone.”
- Chapter 23, Page 320
“Because horror on Earth is real and it is every day. It is like a flower or like the sun; it cannot be contained.”
- Chapter 14

Lovely bones - a psychedelic film with a heartbreaking ending.
Lady killer's - Absolutely loved the history of woman killer's.
Last night at the viper room - drugs, celebrities and lies
pickI opened this book to find out the main character was murdered on my birthday, so that was fun! This book reminded me of Ask Again, Yes and The Last Romantics - it was a story about people living their lives. This book was about Susie‘s family and how they dealt with her murder as she watches them from above. I thought it would be a bit more of a thriller/mystery, but I still liked reading it.
pickA moving novel about growing up, loss, justice, and not giving up.
pickIn this book, fourteen year old Susie Salmon is raped and murdered. She spends majority of the book ‘living‘ in heaven and she is adjusting to life up there. Meanwhile, her family and friends are dealing with loss and tragedy down on earth. Susie watches her family, friends, and even murderer, continue their lives on earth, after that terrible day, as they learn to grieve and move on.
pickLast book of #wintergames2021 was a full out therapy session. The first chapters start of as graphic as any K Slaughter novel, then moves in to a wonderful agnostic view of the afterlife and a case study on how people deal with grief and loss. It‘s a lot, and you‘re always wanting more for everyone. Frustrating. Realistic. Haunting. A perspective on serial killers tales, even almost 20 yrs since it‘s publish, that‘s quite unique.
panThank god that‘s over! It‘s times like these I wish I was the type of person who could bail on books. It started off good for maybe the first 10 pages, then it turned into an utter snooze fest with added cringe. So glad to be done
pickVery sad because of the subject matter, but I also found it thought-provoking and beautiful. Been on my shelf forever - glad I finally read it.

1. Tagged. I just started it today.
2. I‘m not very far into it (and I haven‘t seen the movie) but so far I like the author‘s take on Heaven.

pickhey guys !
i've just created a new instagram ( bookstagram ), I don't have many friends who enjoy reading as much as I do. So, I decided to make an account for other book lovers like me. go follow my new account or comment yours below !

#Movie2BookRecs #susansarandon 31. I made it! Finished the whole challenge. I really didn‘t like this book, so I never watched the movie. I can‘t think of a book that is similar that I could recommend 🤷🏻♀️
I finally finished The Lovely Bones after a few months of reading. It‘s beautifully written, but because of the subject matter, I had to take lots of breaks. I was thinking as I read that I knew someone who read this book in school in about 8th grade. As an educator, it seems a little heavy to teach for 8th grade. Anyone else read it in middle/high school? I‘m curious to know! Maybe I‘m just overly sensitive.
pickVery touching story...I wonder if thats how Heaven really is like?
pickHave you ever had a book sit, you pick it up and then you ask yourself why you waited so long to take this journey? Well, that happened with my #bookspin book my first month of BINGO 🤯🥰 Told in an atmospheric way from the perspective of the victim, this poignant and transformational psychological journey is the retelling of grief, loss, hope and moving on. I do wish the killer suffered more because he made me 😡. #recentlyread @TheAromaofBooks
pickA very sad and thought provoking tale. Loved the little insights into heaven. Just wish the culprit had been arrested, convicted and had a horrible time of it in prison. He seemed to get away too lightly.
so-soI feel like this book had a great build up and fizzled out at the end. Like I understand what the author was trying to do, but it was just anticlimactic for me. #BookSpinBingo
Day 10 #oppositeday Prompt: Soft. Let me explain my response for this prompt. Before this book, I was a hard core reader of violence. I could nearly handle anything. Then this book came along about 22 years ago... at the same time I was pregnant with my first. I remember sitting in the living room with the legs tucked under me leaning on a pillow. ⬇️
“My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie.”

pickReread one of my all time favorites! 💔
Here is my first #bookspin list for the year 2021. I have had a bit of a hiatus when it comes to reading, so I really want to pick it back up this year. Hope everyone has a great start to their year! @TheAromaofBooks
The tagged book had me crying. Like a baby. I cannot think of another book that has made me so emotional.
Thanks @Megabooks for the tag.

this book has been on my TBR for a while, part of a huge thriftbooks haul circa 💸 stimulus check 💸
plenty of reading time in store since i‘m waking up at 3am every morning trying (and failing) to kennel train my canine friend 🥱😴

pickAs a mother, this was difficult to read. For every time it made me hurt though, it made me smile. Alice found a way to do that. I loved imagining Susie in her special heaven. I think I may forever forward imagine heaven in this sense: your own special brand; where things change as you desire. Lovely. My heart bled for her parents, and in the next beat it recovered with Susie‘s peace. Alice, what a gift to the grieving you have made. ❤️
pickThis hit me so hard, right smack in the heart. It was so tragic, but beautiful as well. It will stay with me for a long time.
Wow
so-soThis one had a lot of mixed reviews but had always caught my eye and been on my reading list for a while. First few chapters were great, then it kind of trailed off. The last chapter of the book I enjoyed and the last line is very powerful. What got me most was the Afterword; the author‘s link to the main character and her reasons for writing the book.
