The Book Thief, published 2005
(Printz Honor 2007)
Underdogs, published 2011
(a compilation of the first three books, The Wolfe Brothers series)
Bridge of Clay, to be published soon hopefully!
Have you read them all? If not, what are you waiting for?
Oh I'm glad you sorted all that out for me, sometimes I got pretty confused - I hate title switches :)
ReplyDeleteMelissa: I've been confused too, but I think I've got it straight now... hopefully.
DeleteI didn't realize he'd written so many books! I haven't read any. *hangs head in shame* Which would you recommend starting with? (that isn't The Book Thief, because I just finished a World War II book & I need a break). Are any of them funny/light reads?
ReplyDeleteKathy! You need to read these! I wouldn't characterize any of them as funny/light per se, but THE BOOK THIEF is the heaviest of the bunch. Probably my favorite is I AM THE MESSENGER.
DeleteKathy: What Jessica said.
DeleteHelpful post! I've read them all except UNDERDOG and FIGHTING RUBEN WOLFE. And those are definitely on the TBR pile. :)
ReplyDeleteJessica: Can't to hear what you think. :)
DeleteI don't know if you'll still be my friend when I confess that I still haven't read any of his books?! I know, for shame, right?
ReplyDelete(I love the second covers for both I Am the Messenger and The Book Thief.)
Megan: Yep still your friend! BUT.. get to it! :)
DeleteI love looking at all the covers for his books. I bet you had a hard time choosing which ones to post.
ReplyDeleteJenny: It just makes want to collect them all even more.
DeleteIt makes me sad that the only one I have left to read is Getting the Girl!
ReplyDeleteMelissa: It's a good one though, but I know what you mean. I'm so anxious for another one to come to us!
DeleteI'm obsessed with him and his books. That last paragraph of Getting the Girl gets to my heart every time I read it. I Am the Messenger is my favorite though, right next to The Book Thief. I was just thinking today how crazy it s that
ReplyDeletethe Book thief has been on the NYT bestsellers list for years!!!! (I told you I'm obsessed :-)
Yamille: Yay for the obsessed! Love that it's been on the list for so long. Awesome!
DeleteI read (and LOVED) The Book Thief. I then read The Messenger and was horribly disappointed. So I'm not sure where I am with him. I guess I need a tie-breaker read.
ReplyDeleteJenners: What didn't you like about it? Too cheesy? Angsty? The crazy ending? I know some were bugged by that...
DeleteWhat a great idea! I need to read another Zusak book, and I am thinking it will be The Messenger. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteIbeeeg: Perfect! Go for it!
