The Book Thief - by Markus Zusak



I Just finished reading The Book Thief (and yes it took me more than one night to read it).
I really enjoyed this book. I loved who the author had telling the tale of Liesel Meminger.
The booked flowed nicely and I got sucked into the life of Liesel and those around her.
And since I have never down well with writing book reports - Click here to read the review from the New York Times.
I recommend this book - however it is sad, and I did have tears on the brink of running down my cheeks a few times.

Taking a little Me time

I haven't been taking a whole lot of me time so I decided to pick up a book or two and read them. It's the easiest thing I can do - for now. (maybe I will share more on that later).

So, while I am house sitting I raided their bookshelves and found some easy reads (perfect for what I need right now - nothing to heavy and just a fast read)


First book - Sisterhood of the Traveling pants - Forever Blue
click here and scroll down for a brief description
I don't know, maybe I wasn't in the right mood for this book, but
I didn't love it. I found that some of the characters were very insecure
and I just wanted them to get over it...again maybe my mood
I guess I would give it a B-







Second book - Fablehaven - book one
and if you click HERE - I thought this blog wrote a good explanation of the book.
I love this book, couldn't put it down. I totally got sucked in! And maybe this is what my mood needed more of - to just get lost in a book!
I thought the ending was a little to quick especially for everything leading up to it.
But I can't wait to read more in this series!
I would give it an A



do you have any good easy book suggestions?
