You know who will draw a name ;-)

Last night's movie presentation (borrowed from our fabulous library) was - the Lovely Bones.
I read the book a few years back and I was prepared to not like the movie turns out I was very pleasantly surprised, in fact I thought the movie much better captured the essence of this difficult & painful story. In 1973, the year the movie begins, I was 14, the same age as the main character Susie, and so much of the movie reminded me of my own teen years ...

  3. I'm happy to enter this contest.
    And I agree, I really didn't think I'd like the Lovely Bones - as is usually the case when I like a book (example, the Time Traveler's Wife). But I think they did a very good job with it.

  7. Despite his fondness for Mlle Millie, I will rely on Oliver's impartiality to pick me. Coincidence? I was also 14 in 1973. And I'm renovating a downstairs room with a new floor, new ceiling, and entertainment center. Just following your lead Susan!

  12. This design is gorgeous. I love it.
    I've always been afraid of The Lovely Bones... afraid it would be too sad. Maybe I will read it some day.

  14. I was prepared not to like The Lovely Bones also, adoring the book, but I really enjoyed it. I think Stanley Tucci should have gotten at least an Oscar nomination for his uber-creepy psychopath.
