Jep, I know. A movie, not a book...
It was in the Litsy database, though, and the only title I could think of in my collection with 'Lost'...
And a perfect occasion to post in memoriam of Robert Blake, who passed away March 9, 2023 & who played creepy unforgettable 'Mystery Man' in this movie...

What a beautifully dark novel about five sisters who live a sheltered life under the rule of a strict mother and aloof father. Narrated by the boys in the neighborhood who loved them from a far as they retell the year the sisters committed suicide one by one. A classic tale that was elegantly written with bold characters.

Featuring a few of my favorite little details from @MatchlessMarie ‘s divinely-chosen gifts for the #HauntedHollowSwap. Have you ever laid eyes upon a more gorgeous copy of “The Virgin Suicides”? The roses are rose-gold foil. I mean, come ON. 😍

Had a couple other titles I was gonna do, but I feel like I'm losing steam on this whole endeavor. Suffice it to say, I have way too many books AND way too many movies.

Interested to see the upcoming BBC adaptation, though the CG that we've seen so far leaves something to be desired.

Feel like I've made this post before, but it's on theme so eh.

Tried reading this book previously, but found it to be rather slow. Think I might be more into "true crime" now, so it's probably due for another shot.

Was pleasantly surprised to find one of Brian Phillips' essays to be, in part, about Mishima (the man, not the movie). Had the pleasure of seeing this film in Atlanta with a preamble by it's composer, Philip Glass.

Bet ya'll thought I was done. *throws back head and laughs*

I'm really interested in the mechanics, as it were, of physical media, i.e. books, especially comics. The dimensions of a volume can noticeably shape your experience of it. The Lone Wolf & Cub manga is published in a small, pocket size format, which can only result in a unique reading experience compared to the general standard of books like this.
