[Fallon]

I'm liking that idea too jen!

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

That's a nice one, Jen.

[Laura]

Can you say Book Thief? I knew you could. Great idea.

I, too, have a bunch of books that would qualify for that category. :) I think there are a lot of really great books that fall under it. I had forgotten about The Book Thief being one of them. It has been lingering on my shelf for awhile!

[Eva-Marie]

I've heard of The Book Thief but haven't gotten it yet or even taken the time to learn more about it. I think I should because I definitely do read a lot/own a lot of books on the subject.
I can't wait to start- I get more excited as each day goes by!!

[Sara ♥]

My real-life book club is supposed to read Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl this month, so there you go!

[Jon]

3 sleeps to go! or only 2 if your in Australia :)

[Sara ♥]

I'm SOOO EXCITED! And I've decided on my 25-point task, if I can ever finish the last 3 books! :) I have a lot of reading to do this week! It won't be too bad... for me... :)

[Maggie]

Has anyone suggested something set in or about paris? You know, the whole paris in spring thing?

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

[Beth F]

I like that idea, too, Maggie!

Seriously...this is like waiting for Christmas morning!

[Jon]

its almost Saturday here... if i sleep through it will sunday come quicker?

[Sara ♥]

I know it's WAY too late to suggest things, but someone mentioned reading a book with a really long title, right? Like maybe 10 words or more?

I'd also really like to read a thriller. Maybe we could do a horror or thriller category?

I think it would also be fun to read a "crime" book... and book that has the name of a crime or maybe even a weapon in it, like "kill", "gun", "knife", "theft", "murder", etc. I think it'd be pretty easy to find a book like that, so maybe a 5 or 10 pointer max.

If those ideas don't make it, I'll suggest them for Summer. Both of those categories kind of seem like beach-reads, you know?

On another note... Paris in the Spring?? If that one makes it, I'm going to have to get some advice on books to read. I read a lot of books that take place in England... not so much France... *shrugs*

Sara we had read a crime novel this challenge.
A book that takes place in France is Paris in April. It is a fast read but not too bad. Also Kate Mosse has wonderful, long historical books that happen in France. She does a great job in having the stories told in present and far past like in The labyrinth and Sepulchre. Loved both of them.

[Jeane]

Australia is ahead of most places, so probably ahead. :)
