lovely bones by Alice Sebold Triggering *sexual abuse & murder*
It is the story of a teenage girl who, after being brutally raped and murdered, watches from heaven as her family and friends go on with their lives, while she herself comes to terms with her own death.
it should be sad but it is beautiful her discription of heaven reallly captured my heart and it is a tear jerker as you see how her family deal with it in their seperate ways!
Its trilogy of Vampire books but so far, I'm really enjoying it.
Its written so differently than I'm used to, with alot of text in brackets
for the thoughts of the main character, Zoe but its really good.
"If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see, you'll find out first hand what it's like to be me."
Finally finished the state of africa by Martin Meredith!! It was really really intresting but pretty heavy going, definitly worth the effort though if you are intested in African history and why Africa is in the situation it is in today!
I have a couple chapters to go on the Watchmen, and now Ive started The Ridiculous Race.
Its hilarious, its a true account of two friends who bet each other that they could race around the world the fastest without using airplanes. It bounces back and forth between the two narrators and its all about their little anecdotes in these places. Its great so far.
I LOVE that book =D
It makes me cry everytime I read it.
I've just finished "The Forgotten Garden" by Kate Morton
And her other book "The House At Riverton" is Amazing.
They both had me hooked =)
I am struggling to finish anything I start...when I started this thread I was reading Eldest By Christopher Paolini, still haven't finished it! Will try though.

If you read a scar like a book, you will relise the story in which you over look
