Why I loved The Book Theif by Markus Zusak, and why you should read it too!!

 

The Book Thief 

By Markus Zusak

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 This is such a carefully crafted book. Liesel and her brother are meant to be going to live with another family, but tradgey strikes before they gets there. Liesel arrives at her new home and while her foster father is lovely, her foster mother is not. The father makes her a classroom in the basement and she falls in love with reading. But when the Nazis start buring books Liesel starts stealing them. And when a Jewish friend needs a safe place, the foster family risk everything to hide him a great personal risk to thereselves.

This historical backdrop of this story was alive with realism, and the author cleverly explores how a population can be seduced by speaches and false promises.

This is a harrowing story and it is one that will stay with me for a very long time.

MARKUS ZUSAK is the author of the acclaimed, prize-winning and bestselling novel The Book Thief, published worldwide in 2007. His new literary novel BRIDGE OF CLAY is now available. Markus Zusak lives in Sydney, Australia with his wife and two children.

My Life with the Walter Boys  

By Ali Novak 

 

Jackie's life is completley turned upside down when her family dies in a car accident. 😭 She has to move across the country to live with her new guardians the Walters, who have twelve sons (well techincally eleven). Jackie's way of life is turned upside down. Especially, considering some of the older guys are really cute! 😀 And suddenly she finds herself in a middle of a war while two of the brothers fight for her attention!! 

 

Firstly, I really want to live in the Walter's house because they have a really nice house, with land and horses and stuff. I loved Cole, but Alex was really nice too! 😂 This book is really good and I loved every single minute of it.

 

I picked up this book on Amazon

 

 

I am so in love with this series, you have to check out, Paper Hearts by Ali Novak

 

 

 

Paper Hearts 

By Ali Novak 

 

Felicity's older sister ran away a couple of years ago and since then she has all the expectations of her mother on her shoulders. So, she tries hard at school, she is saving colllage and she volunteers at a charity masquerade ball. At the ball she meets a boy - but she has no idea who he is because he is wearing a mask! When he removes the mask he turns out to be Alec from The Heartbreakers Band 💖 A band that her bestfriend loves!! 

 

She discovers that her sister had been writing to her but her mother has been hiding the letters from her. Her sister has moved around alot. So Felicity and Alec go on a road trip to see if they can find her.

 

Out of the two books in the series so far, this was my favourite. Alec and Felicity's relationship is really cute, as Alec is really shy. I wouldn't mind Alec to be my boyfriend!! Why do all the great guys have to be ficitonal??!! 💔 But seriously, this is a great book, and you should read it because i know you will love it as much as I do.
