I did it when I saw Chuck Palahniuk on his Rant tour years ago. (Well, on the inside. On the outside, I froze and couldn't think of anything even remotely intelligent to say as I got my book signed. I also got a picture with him and look like a deer in the headlights. Haha.)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757174923718324262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-42066512750303343732015-10-05T03:23:04.832+11:002015-10-05T03:23:04.832+11:00I am the Messenger sounds absolutely like my kind ...I am the Messenger sounds absolutely like my kind of thing!

Like I just didn't connect to Ed like I loved Leisel and Rudy and her adopted parents and aaall the things. *sigh* And I confess I was worried about how he was feeding that dog. ;) BUT. I've only read two Markus Zusak books and I definitely want to read more!! And that is SO COOL you get to hear him speak!! *flails* Have fun!!<br />Thanks for stopping by <a href="http://www.paperfury.com" rel="nofollow">@ Paper Fury!</a> CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-10273476761828415552015-09-29T12:21:39.234+10:002015-09-29T12:21:39.234+10:00I didn't know Markus Zusak had a new book out ...I didn't know Markus Zusak had a new book out but The Book Thief is one of my all time faves.

I loved The Book Thief and this one has been on my list for awhile. I think once my current situation is tended to, I'm finally going to put it on my holds list. <br /><br />And thanks for the reminder about Banned Books Week. It's too late to get anything from the library but I do have The Diary of Anne Frank on my bookshelf (yep, only Jew in America who hasn't read it), so I'll be doing that this week. I'll probably reread either The Lorax or The Giving Tree with the child. It really amazes me what people will campaign to have banned.
