Fabulous book. Well written and narrated in a unique way.

My mum in law was caught red handed reading my copy of this book. Apparantly it was sticking out of my handbag and she hadn't had to go in it all!!

Releasing to her and as this fits in to week 52 of Never Judge a book by its cover will be recorded for that challenge and the What's in a Name challenge too :)

ETA - It has been back with me some time and itching to get back moving again. Finally it has found a spot in Olivia_Lo's YA VBB. I hope it gets chosen in the next round!

Chosen from the YA VBB ☺

Enjoy!!

Thank you for sending the book, I have read it once a long time ago but have completely forgotten what happens in it!

Darkly humorous and at the same time wonderfully poetic, Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief is a beautifully touching tale that everyone should read at least once.

Set in a small town outside Munich during WW2, this book follows the story of a young German girl called Liesel Meminger during the war all told from the perspective of Death himself.

This was a reread for me and surprisingly I remember not being that struck by it the first time I read it. I must have been having an off day because this is such a beautiful book I can’t imagine how it didn’t move me. I cried (and not just a little sniffle, proper tears) at the end of this, in fact I took it home to finish it because I knew I would not be able to read it at work and leave the office with my dignity intact. It’s very rare that a book like this comes along, a truly unique, touching and poetic story that is now on my favourites shelf. If you haven’t read it, you should.
