I read The Book Thief for the first time this year, too. So of course it's on my list today. :) I really liked The Fault in Our Stars, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Years!
Just loved both.
DeleteGood list, I love The Book Thief and The Fault in Our Stars as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteGreat list. You've got some really amazing books on your list. I LOVED The Help and The Book Thief when I read those, such beautiful books. Happy New Year :) My TTT.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too!
DeleteI agree Fault in the Stars was great. I have wanted to read Book Thief for 2 years, still haven't. You must go watch The Help now, both book and movie, so good.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch movies very often but hope to watch this one someday.
