Synopsis:
On her way home from school on a snowy December day in 1973, 14-year-old Susie Salmon ("like the fish") is lured into a makeshift underground den in a cornfield and brutally raped and murdered, the latest victim of a serial killer - the man she knew as her neighbor, Mr. Harvey.


Review:
The synopsis intrigued me a few months ago. I was in the mood for a heart breaking story and somehow this book came to my attention.

For the most part, I am feeling so sad for what happened to Susie and what her family had to endure after her disappearance. She's so young, and she had to go through so many hard times.

I can't say much about this book because it took me a while to finish it, and even longer to write this review. What I do remember is how I liked the events that are happening towards the ending of this book. There are several things that happened and I think it's very... appropriate, considering the circumstances that are happening in this book.

So that's it, my super short review of this book. I can't remember much details of this book now, but I know that I enjoy it back then to give it 3.5 out of 5 stars :)

2018 Reading Goals

Hi there! This is going to be a quick post of which I'll share 5 reading goals that I'm hoping to accomplish this year as well as 6 books/series that I'm quite excited to read. So without further ado, here we go. 5 Reading Goals Read 52 books This is the same amount of books that I tried to read last year. It's doable and I'm pretty sure that I can pass this easily. Read 40 paperbacks that I owned before 2018 This should not come as a surprise, considering the fact that currently I owned almost 200 unread books.  Read 6 series Even though I love standalones, there are just something fun about reading series, either dualogy, trilogy, or even more. Read 25.000 pages This is the same amount of pages that I tried to read last year. And even though there's struggle at the end of last year, I'm pretty sure I can accomplish it this year. Read 35 new-to-me authors It's doable and to be honest I'm perfectly fine if I can't accomplish it this year
