The Book Thief Paperback Giveaway

The Book Thief
by Markus Zusak
Paperback, 550 pages
Published December 18th 2007
ISBN 0375842209

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.

The Book Thief is one of the books I have on my must read list for 2012. I’ve heard so many wonderful things about it. And lucky for you, I own an extra paperback copy that I am going to give away! To enter to win simply comment below with one book you hope to read this year. Giveaway is open internationally. Ends January 24, 2012.

    I haven’t read this one so I am trying out my luck with your giveaway. Aside from Book Thief, I’m looking forward reading George RR Martin’s Game of Thrones (and if time and budget permits, the whole series), John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, and books in my TBR.

    Thank you for the giveaway

    Wait, what? You haven’t read it?? GASP!! I’m so glad you plan to get to it this year! Don’t enter me, as I have two copies already, but I will go and tweet this now because you know I love to push this book as much as I can.

    One book I plan to read very very soon is A Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss.

    I keep telling myself that I really need to read classics like The Lord of the Rings and Pride and Prejudice, but I never get around to it. This year, though, I’m actually going to make sure I do.

    Yey! I also have heard wonderful things about this book 🙂
    One of my must read for this year is The Hunger Games, because the movie is close and I want to read it before it comes out. Right now the book is unavailable in my city, and I have to wait until arrives again. 🙁 Thanks for the giveaway!
