I still haven't read...

 
 
Hello everyone,
Welcome to my first meme of 2015. My friend Kayleigh over at K-Books created this amazing Meme that I think will have a positive effect on my TBR pile. (I have a post coming soon that could help you all with that.)
Here is this week's pick...
 
 
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
 
HERE IS A SMALL FACT - YOU ARE GOING TO DIE.
1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier.

Liesel, a nine-year-old girl, is living with a foster family on Himmel Street. Her parents have been taken away to a concentration camp. Liesel steals books. This is her story and the story of the inhabitants of her street when the bombs begin to fall.

SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION - THIS NOVEL IS NARRATED BY DEATH.
It's a small story, about: a girl, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist fighter, and quite a lot of thievery.

ANOTHER THING YOU SHOULD KNOW - DEATH WILL VISIT THE BOOK THIEF THREE TIMES.
 
 
Have you read this book?
Let me know in the comments.

  1. I've read this book and I've sobbed like a Baby afterwards. It's so beautiful written and the Story is wonderful and heartbreaking at the same time. It's deserves it fame.

    1. I watched the movie and really enjoyed that, so I'm hoping the book lives up to it's expectations.
