Ha ha, when you left the comment on the graphic novels challenge post saying you wanted to wait and see what the other two would be, I KNEW you would pick this one, and I should have just emailed you then, but I have been so busy this week. Sorry! I'm glad you're joining. :)
I HIGHLY recommend The Book Thief. One of the best books of the year for me.
As most bloggers that peruse my site know, The Book Thief is a slight obsession of mine. I can't believe you haven't read it yet! The First Part Last was amazing as well. I think you would really enjoy both of those.
