Since my last Sunday Salon post, I am excited to report that I met my New Year's Resolution of reading at least one more book this year than I read last year.  While I was impressed with myself for cranking out 16 books last year, I am even more excited that I have managed to read 18 books (so far) this year!  Since my last Sunday Salon post, I wrote and posted reviews of Hometown and This Child Will Be Great.  While I found both books informative, neither grabbed me as a really great read.   I started a book this week into which I am already engrossed.  I had heard a lot of good things about The Book Thief by Mark Zusak. I remember reading lots of positive reviews about the book a few years ago, but did not get a chance to read it until now.  So far, I am completely taken with the story. Although, I have had to hide tears which I have formed in my eyes while I have been reading on the train. I hope the book continues as strongly as it has begun!
