Sounds like a great book! Losing a friend as a teen would have to be devastating.
ReplyDeleteI like that list of books, too. :) Mine would be similar, although it would have some Agatha Christie on it.
The Bible - nice choice!
ReplyDeleteChristine, thanks again for visiting. Nice selection of books. Wishing you much success.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. Thanks for stopping by!
What an interesting context for a book. We all confront loss at some point in our lives, and addressing that in a well-written novel can be really effective. I like the choice of books, too. Thanks for sharing, both.
ReplyDeleteI've only read one of the books on her list. Makes me wonder what I would put on mine.
ReplyDeleteLove your giveaways! <3 - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
