   I haven’t read any of these but The Book Theif and Beautiful Ruins are on my forever growing list!

     Both of those are such memorable reads. I do hope you enjoy them as much as I did Stacie!

   Happy Birthday times 2 Joanne. I always love and hate to visit your blog, as I always end up adding more books to my long TBR list — LOL

   I’ve read only one of these and have another one on my TBR list! Wish I could read them all!

   Great roundup! I’ve been wanting to read The Signature of All Things.

     Good choice – a wonderful chunky novel well worth setting aside time for.

   What a great month and recap. So many of the books in this post are ones on my TBR list. Have a great February Joanne.

   I always get too many new books added to my TBR listed because of you. A curse and a blessing:)

   I was surprised by how much I liked The Beautiful Ruins. I gave it 5 start too.

   • Joanne P says

     Me too Harvee, it had the potential to be shine over substance, but thankfully it held much greater depth.

   I began Beautiful Ruins and couldn’t get into it; should probably try again. I’ve been seeing The orphan Master’s Son all over which looks fabulous. Thanks for the recap for us!

     I recommend you try the audio version – the narration by Edoardo Ballerini is wonderful.

    I listened to Room rather than reading the text, and perhaps that made it extra powerful. In any case, I’ll never, ever forget that book. So well written, such real characters who worked there way into my heart. Thanks for introducing me to even more books than I was aware of!

    • Joanne P says

      May 28, 2013 at 6:53 pm

      Yes, I can only imagine how moving Room would be in audio – heartbreaking even… It is one of those unforgettable stories…

    I’m tempted by The Girl You Left Behind because I LOVED Me Before You. Have a great week!

    • Joanne P says

      April 16, 2013 at 2:01 pm

      I have not read Me Before You (sounds too sad for me!) but I just love Moyes writing style, having read and enjoyed her earlier work The Peacock Emporium also.

    The Shadow of the Wind is one of my favorite books ever! I really enjoyed it, it had me hooked from the first chapter. If you want you can check out my review on my blog :)

    I will look out for your review of The Book Thief!

    Shadow of The Wind; Book Thief and Room were ones I enjoyed as well. Happy Reading in March.

    I just read Zafon’s Prisoner of Heaven and really enjoyed it! I should read Shadow of the Wind … I guess I’m not reading any of this in order :)

    I have the Book Thief to read. It has been on my shelves for so long. Finally going to read it for the TBR Pile Challenge.

      Mari – The Book Thief is brilliant, am sure you will love it. It is consistently the most popular book review I have published by far.

    I enjoyed The Street Sweeper as well , Room – not so much as other bloggers, I thought the second part wasn’t as good as the first part.

    You’ve got some great reads coming up and we’ve enjoyed a lot of the same books. Happy reading this week!

    I love seeing all of your covers that are different than the ones we have here in the US. I don’t think I’ve heard anything negative yet about Beautiful Ruins. Time to get back into the library queue, I think. :)

    I love that cover of The Book Thief!

    Thanks for visiting my blog and for your lovely comment :)

    Ohh lots of books I haven’t read yet. I’ll have to check some of these out. Thanks for the reviews!

    ‘Rebecca’ has to be one of my all time favourite books. That is one story that I could probably re-read and break one of my own golden rules.

    I don’t think I’ve seen that particular cover for The Book Thief before. I love that book :)

    Yes, Sheila I can imagine the audio version of Mememto Mori with all the wonderful voices helps lift the narrative where it otherwise may well be a little heavy going… it does come together in the end though.

    I am reading Momento Mori but struggling with it… your rating makes me keep trying ;)

    Hi, I signed up for the Aussie Author Challenge, hoping to make the higher level for the first time. It might be the combination I need (6 different authors, 12 books.)

    I tried to leave a comment on the sign up page, but I couldn’t find a spot to leave a comment.

    Hi Joanne

    I thought I’d finally got a handle on my new WordPress book review site for a late entry into your Aussie Book challenge – only to discover I’ve stuffed up my links to your page. (I think I’ve posted some https instead of http and one I posted in the completion page!)

    Apologies for that.

    It’s a great challenge and I notice you already have 2012 up. I’ll definitely be signing up for that and hopefully will get the system right next time.

    Thanks for your wonderful blog. I’ve yet to explore all the links but I know I’m going to find plenty to read. :)

    I’m looking forward to your review of Little Princes, I’ve heard lots of very good things about it.
