Page Turner's take on Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the March meeting, but thank you for humoring me with the April selection. You can read my thoughts on Animal, Vegetable, Miracle here (and check out the other things I've been reading, too). Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

I'll see you in a few weeks!

Page Turner (Heather)

April selection: The Book Thief

The author's website says: "It’s just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. . . . Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau. This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul."

Hmmmm . . . very intruiging. Next meeting: April 15.
