I am challenging myself to read 60 books in a year - nov 1st 2008 - 2009 and these categories each month.
1. Read a fiction book that has won a literary award *
2. Read a non-fiction book (true story/memoir/autobiography) **

I cried at the end of The Book Thief too! It really was incredible, one of my favorites from 2008, and probably one of my all-time favorites too! If you like Holocaust-era books, I recommend Those Who Save Us if you haven't read that yet!
