How creepy, yet eerily bewitching, is this movie tie-in book cover of Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones? I read and loved and sobbed over this book years ago, but methinks a re-read is in order, especially considering the film comes out very soon (read: December). The director is the super talented Peter Jackson and the cast is pretty stellar, too: Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, Mark Wahlberg, Saoirse Ronan (she is definitely one to watch; you might remember her from Atonement), and a disturbing Stanley Tucci. You can view the trailer here.I'm also itching to see Coco Before Chanel and Bright Star. Having a bounty of interesting, well-made films to choose from is yet another reason why I adore this time of year!

i can't wait! this is one of very few books that has brought me to tears. over and over and over again!
So excited! Okay so how about coffee on wednesday or thursday? I haven't been checking facebook so I just got your message. Sorry, I am a crazy mess lately. Miss you!
i really loved this book until i hit the bizarre ending! i'm interested to see how much will be cut out of the film version!
I LOVED the book SO much! It really was heartbreaking, wasn't it? And I can't wait to see coco and bright star either. too many movies, not enough time! (also, very hard when i have a chick flick hating husband...)
Lovely Bones was a wonderful book. I had no idea it was being made into a movie. No idea at all!
Anne: I SO empathize. Getting my boyfriend to watch my films can be like pulling teeth sometimes!
