Our New Read

Debby has picked our book for May.  We will be reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.  Here is a synopsis:

It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.

Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who 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.

So pick up a copy from the Library, borrow it from a friend or if you want to add it to your personal library you can purchase it on Amazon.  Happy reading ladies!
