Your blog looks great Mari! Very bright and inviting now. I'm glad you joined the War Challenge. I'm planning on The Book Thief as well. I look forward to your reviews.
ReplyDeleteI know you'll love The Book Thief, The Reader, Anne Frank.
ReplyDeleteI know you will.
Bernhard Schlink's The Reader is intriguing, you should definitely check it out!
ReplyDeleteThe Book Thief is excellent. I loved it. I'd like to read The Reader too, but I may just go see the movie, or get it on DVD. Books about the war tend to depress me. I just just finished The Shell Seekers (so much better than the movie) and it was really good, but haunting. Anne Frank was like that too. It took me a while to shake that one off as well. It will be interesting to see your reviews.
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled you joined our challenge! I've added you to the participants page on the challenge blog, and I'll add your reviews soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading An Obsolete Honor right now, and it's great. You're in for a treat with The Book Thief.
