The Lovely Bones

    The book I am reading is called the Lovely Bones.  It is by Alice Sebold.  It takes place in 1973. The main character, Susie, gets murderded by her neighbor in a cornfield.  He cut up her body; but the police found her elbow. I know pretty disgusting, right? So now Susie is narrating the story from heaven.  She looks down and sees her family, but she can't communticate with them.  But one time she did show her face in broken glass and her father saw her. 
    This book is really good. I have never read a book where the narrator is narrating from heaven. I don't even think I have ever read a book where the narrator is dead! I like it because of this asspect. I also like all the detail in this book. It has many parts where explanation is very detailed, like when Susie is explaning her heaven. My favorite part, which is also an emotional part, is when Susie's father has to tell Buckely (Linsay and Susie's little brother) that Susie is dead.  Then he asks, "You mean like this?" and cups his hands over the monopoly piece that Susie usually played with.  That part is when it really sinks in to her family that Susie is gone and is never coming back.

Flawless

Flawless is the sequel to Pretty Little Liars.  It is by Sara Shepard.  As you can see, I love this series.  They are very good.  This book is about all the troubles that are continuing from the first book.  But in this book, A is ruder and threatens them saying if you do do this,    (bla bla)     , I will tell your secret.  Now A says this to all four of them because they all have secrets that they keep even from each other.  And A knows each and every one of them. 
I like this book because there is a lot of drama.  It is very well written and has many action/drama packed events that take place.  I also like how there are many turns of events, such as the person who Aria, Emily, Spencer, and Hannah think is Ali's killer.  Especially when one of them fall for him!  You should read this book and the first one- they are really good.
