And it doesn't bother ...I love the Cuban pics!<br /><br />And it doesn't bother me that you must market your book. It goes with the territory!

I've heard negative reviews from other bloggers I admire, too. But there's something about the way Markus Zusak puts things that just really speaks to me (or soundlessly roars at me, as he might say).Laura Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108081477711821273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-70339826603556298752014-03-30T11:43:37.812-04:002014-03-30T11:43:37.812-04:00I know some people are not fans of The Book Thief,...I know some people are not fans of The Book Thief, but I really do love the way it's written. It makes me wish I could write the way Zusak does--and if I thought I could, perhaps I'd get to work right now on another book!<br /><br />I can't believe it's been a year since you read mine, either (and that this summer, it will have been out two years already). Time goes by so fast.<br /><br />I hope lots of people are stopping by to read the Our Friends, the Saints series. It's wonderful.Laura Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108081477711821273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-82397890447360793452014-03-30T01:20:08.678-04:002014-03-30T01:20:08.678-04:00Your Cuban pics have been making me laugh:)
Re 5-...Your Cuban pics have been making me laugh:)<br />Re 5- was most interested on your take, ducking tomatoes as I admit the book wasn't one I liked, the sentence structures drove me insane.<br /><br />Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448595911801738792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-8877805229419579022014-03-29T15:17:26.549-04:002014-03-29T15:17:26.549-04:00The cross is BEAUTIFUL and the pictures of your bo...The cross is BEAUTIFUL and the pictures of your book are such fun to see! I've loved reading your recent posts about Finding Grace (I can't believe it's already been nearly a year since I read it!). <br /><br />Isn't The Book Thief fantastic? I JUST finished reading the book last week and had pre-ordered the movie. Now the DVD is sitting on my desk waiting for my current semester's project to be finished so I can take a few hours to enjoy it :-) And Zusak's writing style... unlike any I've ever read!<br /><br />You're so kind to mention the Saints Series! Admittedly, I was very surprised to see you write about it in your last quick take. Thank you for the shout-out!<br /><br />God bless you!Sarah Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12646738793836238694noreply@blogger.com
