"Damn, I feel sorry for Death." I know this entry is long overdue. Been busy, busy with all sort of projects (more about that later). But in October (remember way back then?) , I did manage to finish Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein ( book review here ) and I started Long Lankin by Lindsey Barraclough (book review pending). I also listened to the audiobook of The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Narrated by Death, it's the story of a young German girl during World War II. And it's a bit awkward crying your eyes out while you're stopped at a light. Hard to explain to the car next to you that this story is just so ... no word adequately explains the punch to the solar plexus this book delivers. But I do have a bonus video of Markus Zusak explaining how the book came to be. Bonus video: Markus Zusak talks about The Book Thief Happy reading!
