Journal Entry 2 by Crossing-Guard at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Wednesday, January 12, 2011
After having this on my shelf for a long time I thought I should finally read it and I have to say "why did I wait so long". This book is unlike anything I have read in a long time. It was both hopeful and sad at the same time. Beautifully written!

I was hoping to finish this in time for the best sellers and award winners meeting but unfortunately that just didn't happen. February's meeting is mysteries, I guess there is a mystery here...

Journal Entry 4 by locker-monster at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Sunday, February 13, 2011
Picked up this book at the Calgary BookCrossing February meet-up. This is one of those books you mean to read but never get around to, so finally, I'll get around to reading it.

Journal Entry 5 by locker-monster at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Thursday, April 7, 2011
I was sort of disappointed with the ending. You go the entire book, hoping they catch the killer and they really don't. But I guess that's not the point of the book. It's about Susie's family and friends. I want to watch the movie for this one, too.

Apparently, I haven't read the book! Must have just seen the movie. Picked up at the special Rachel meeting...

Picked up at the extra 'Rachel' meeting. Good to see everyone.

Journal Entry 15 by crossingguardma at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Wednesday, February 14, 2018
This has been sitting on my shelf for awhile! I am doing a bookcrossing bingo and square 23 was to read a book that was made into a movie. This fit the bill.

I enjoyed the book, mostly the first half though. The second half dragged for me. I think that is because I had seen the movie and it covered 5he first half. I was wondering where the boom was heading.

Journal Entry 18 by claws-12 at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Saturday, June 30, 2018
Different take on the classic ghost story, one that follows the aftermath of a tragic murder not just on the victim's friends and family, but the victim and killer as well.

To be read

Journal Entry 20 by Ashtoash at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Saturday, November 10, 2018
I don't think I've ever read a book before where the narrator was deceased. Making someone who dies in the first chapter the protagonist was a really interesting choice. Also insightful were seeing the ripple effects of the loss of Susie's life on her friends and family in addition their initial grief following her death.

Journal Entry 21 by L-Marie at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Saturday, December 1, 2018
Picked up at November meeting. Haven't read it yet.
