The summer is almost over and we are back to our regular book club format. We read some great books over the summer, Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner, Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman and Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks and had some great meet ups by the pool. Our next book is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. The following is a review from Amazon. Hope you enjoy the book! Happy Reading.
"The Book Thief is a novel by Australian author Markus Zusak. Set in Nazi Germany, it describes a young girl's (named Liesel Meminger) relationship with her foster parents, Hans and Rosa, and the other residents of their neighborhood, and a Jewish fist-fighter who hides in her home during the escalation of World War II. Published in 2005, it has won numerous awards and has been listed on the New York Times Children's Bestseller List for over 190 weeks. The Book Thief takes place in Germany before and during World War II. The story is told from the point of view of Death who finds the story of the Book Thief, Liesel Meminger, to be very interesting, as she brushes Death three times in her life. The novel begins when Liesel's mother takes Liesel and her brother Werner to live with foster parents Hans and Rosa Hubermann in Molching, as she can not provide for them."
