Perhaps it's my subconscious attempt to not get my hopes up, in case I don't like it!<BR/><BR/><B>tanabata</B> - I LOVE her smile. She has a great laugh too, when she is in the right mood.<BR/><BR/><B>bybee</B> - Our little girl loves trips to library, she has a blast just looking at all the colors of books on the shelves. She's entering that stage where she will sit and listen for a little while when we read, but is more interested in seeing how the book tastes. :)Nyssanealahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01880042178848084407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047922084795856437.post-51936462110165722212008-02-28T13:54:00.000-05:002008-02-28T13:54:00.000-05:00jill - thanks!

The Book Thief will most likely be near the top of my 2008 favorites.<BR/><BR/><B>joy</B> - I'm now looking forward to delving back into some AC mysteries! I haven't read any with T&T, that might be where I start.<BR/><BR/><B>laura</B> - well, I didn't pull an all-nighter, but I did finish it the next morning.<BR/><BR/><B>maw</B> - I have a feeling I will be thinking about BT for a long time to come, as well.<BR/><BR/><B>table talk</B> - That's too bad it didn't take off in Birmingham. It does all depend on the books donated. Ours receives quite a few from the library, and I almost always see a few recent bestsellers when I go, which makes a big difference!Nyssanealahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01880042178848084407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047922084795856437.post-40643011837405504512008-02-28T04:05:00.000-05:002008-02-28T04:05:00.000-05:00What a cute girl!

It is hard to read a book everyone has raved about isn't it? For some odd reason I immediately go in thinking I'm not going to like it. Silly. I want to read his Zusak's other book which has also gotten good reviews. Oh and enjoy your new books!Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047922084795856437.post-55890859829864236852008-02-25T10:02:00.000-05:002008-02-25T10:02:00.000-05:00I am sooooooo glad you are loving this book :)And ...I am sooooooo glad you are loving this book :)<BR/><BR/>And what an adorably photo of Maya - beautiful baby!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332796775305098552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047922084795856437.post-59456874429567276802008-02-25T03:59:00.000-05:002008-02-25T03:59:00.000-05:00I think 'The Book Thief' has been a book that read...I think 'The Book Thief' has been a book that readers have either loved or hated. I'm with you in the loving camp, but I do have friends who have found the way it's structured very hard to cope with. I think The Book Thing sounds wonderful. We tried to start something similar in Birmingham, but it didn't take off, mainly because the sort of books that people were donating weren't the sort that others wanted to read. If we'd had donations like these it would have been a very different matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047922084795856437.post-56444905715303987412008-02-24T23:43:00.000-05:002008-02-24T23:43:00.000-05:00I loved this book too.

I tend to see that as the last stretch. I'm not sure why exactly, but that's the way my mind works. LOL<BR/><BR/>I am glad to hear you are enjoying The Book Thief. I'll be the last one in blogosphere to read it at the rate I'm going. Haha<BR/><BR/>Have a great week!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.com
