The Lovely Bones

I just couldn't resist posting about this book my friend Emily lent to me. It is so disturbing that I've been wondering if I should stop reading it before bed. It was on Oprah's book club some time ago, and it was a best-seller for quite awhile. I'm still waiting to get to the part where things get better (not the book, I mean, the characters start to deal with their grief) because it is an emotional rollercoaster right now and I'm not sure I can deal.

I just want to say how very much I love my friends and family, especially my sister (not that I love her more than my other family members, but this book makes me think about her a lot). A story like this really puts a lot into perspective--especially considering all the happenings in the world these days--and I find myself concerned that something bad will happen and I'll lose her. *sigh* I think I should only read this book in daylight hours, which is convenient now that we've changed the clocks.
