lazydaizee I read The Lovely Bones some time ago and I really enjoyed it. 8mo
SarahBookInterrupted @lazydaizee I wonder if the movie is any good. It does have some big names in it. 8mo

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 🥱😴

britt_brooke So cute! The pupper life is hard ... much harder than I remembered. Our pup is now 6 months old, but those those first few weeks were extra challenging. 4y

It‘s day two of #bannedbooksweek2019. This book has been challenged due to #religiousthemes. What that all means I don‘t know. What I do know is this book makes me cry. #TheLovelyBones #AliceSebold #bannedbooks

And it's done!! Woohoo! 🍾📚
I opted for an audiobook for my last pick as I had essay planning, dinner to cook, meals for tomorrow to prep, etc, and I couldn't do those with a book in my hand (unless you count text books!)
I'm off to bed now....

I've loved this weekend, it's the most I've read in ages! Between studying, working, trying to get healthy, etc, I don't get much time to sit and read. I do feel a bit guilty for being so lazy, but I've enjoyed every minute ❤️📚

Pickpick

So many emotions!! Sorrow, anger, love, grief, this book really puts you through the ringer.
It's where Sebold writes about grief, or the love/distance between the characters that it hits me the most.

Slightly peed off that my timer dropped out when I went for a tea break, but I should have done a screen grab - it's was the first/only time I forgot to!

Part 2
This is genre contemporary fiction around 2006, not sure of exact publish date. The man character is a young woman who dies and goes to "heaven" and is an intake secretary to others who have recently died. If I remember right it's kind of funny. One of her first intakes is a teenage girl who is a handful. And this is about all I remember, except I think there was blue colors on the cover, maybe? Please HELP ?and thanks!!

Gaylagal2 It is not the Lovely Bones - I read that one. I'm going to check on the other one and thank you!🤙 6y
Gaylagal2 @bookcollecter I don't think Heavens Waiting Room is it. It was not a religious themed book at all, more like contemporary fiction and not a large book - under 300 pages. Thanks again for the help! It's truly driving me crazy😉 6y
bookcollecter I'll keep searching 😉 6y

Mehso-so

Finally finished this book on my break today. It was definitely not a thriller like I thought it would be for #Spookathon but I loved the simple nod to how grief moves though people and a family. Yet, there was a weird part in the end I wasn‘t fond of at all and I understand how many people complained that the story moved very slowly. So I‘m on the fence about who/when I would recommend people read it. #TheLovelyBones #AliceSebold

NeedsMoreBooks I loved this book although I agree it is slow. The whole plot and the treatment of grief is poignant. 6y
Phantasma.Maddie @NeedsMoreBooks I totally understood why it was slow and I got that part and really wasn‘t bothered about it like some people were, I just really didn‘t like the switching bodies with Ruth part. I found it distracting to the plot. Did you like it? 6y
NeedsMoreBooks I liked the book overall but the Ruth part was a bit weird. 6y

Phantasma.Maddie @NeedsMoreBooks I really think that part is what made it a so-so for me and made me feel weird about recommending it. Like ANYONE with grief I think would love this book, but then thinking their loved ones were inhabiting other bodies puts a weird spin on it. I thought Ruth‘s character overall was an odd one and I connected so much about some parts of her and others not at all. 6y
Phantasma.Maddie @NeedsMoreBooks who was your favorite character? 6y
NeedsMoreBooks @Phantasma.Maddie I liked Susie, Buckley, and Holly. Had read it when it had first released. Time for a re-read 😊 6y
