Books 'n' Bites - “The lovely bones: a novel” by Alice Sebold – Once in a generation a novel comes along that taps a vein of universal human experience, resonating with readers of all ages. THE LOVELY BONES is such a book — a #1 bestseller celebrated at once for its artistry, for its luminous clarity of emotion, and for its astonishing power to lay claim to the hearts of millions of readers around the world. “My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973.” So begins the story of Susie Salmon, who is adjusting to her new home in heaven, a place that is not at all what she expected, even as she is watching life on earth continue without her — her friends trading rumors about her disappearance, her killer trying to cover his tracks, her grief-stricken family unraveling. Out of unspeakable tragedy and loss, THE LOVELY BONES succeeds, miraculously, in building a tale filled with hope, humor, suspense, even joy. Cocktails & Canvas - Recycled pallet wood colorado flags – Join Vail Public Library and Vail Recreation District, for an evening of woodworking and painting! Construct your canvas from recycled pallet wood with instruction and hand tools provided by local woodworker Caleb Eaton. Then, paint or stain your canvas with the Colorado flag!
