Book Thief Schedule

In January, my online reading group Reading With Becky will be reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. If you'd like to join in on the discussion, email me and I'll send you an invite to the group. The schedule is just a loose guideline...more to keep me on track than something for readers to stress about.

December 26th through January 1--Introduction

If you plan to participate, take a few minutes and share your initial thoughts on the book. The cover. The title. The blurbs. The jacket description. The first paragraph. The prologue. Whatever.

January 3--Day One

If you haven't already shared your thoughts on the prologue, do so now. Try to have read the prologue through The Kiss. (For the paperback edition, that's pp 3-55). (If you're listening to the audio book, it's the first disc.)
