Featured Book # 1

Since everyone is always asking me what to read, here's a place to put it all. Want to know what should be next on your reading this? I'll ATTEMPT to post one book every Friday but we'll see how that goes.

The final week of the year always gets people thinking about the past and how things can be improved or not, so in keeping with that theme, today's book recommendation is...


In The Lovely Bones, Alice Sebold writes about Susie Salmon, who is raped and killed. Her body is never found. This story is still hers though, as she watches her family from heaven and sees how they develop over the years.

One of my favorite features of this book is how Sebold describes heaven. It's a place you make your own, depending on the things that make you the happiest. So everyone in heaven has their own person view of it (though people can still interact). For example, part of Susie's heaven is the school playground, as it one of the places that made her happy.
