Authors from A to Z: Z

Authors from A to Z

Z = Ziegler & Zusak

Ashes to WaterIrene Ziegler wrote Ashes to Water, a book that I really enjoyed reading last year. It was very interesting, and I still remember it in surprising detail. I definitely will be looking to read more of her writing.

The Book ThiefWho in the book-blogging world hasn’t heard of Markus Zusak? (NOTE: I am not in any way implying anything about anyone who hasn’t yet heard of him! If you fit that group, I am happy to introduce you! ;-) ) I am sorry to say that I have not yet read The Book Thief. An Australian book-blogging friend of mine even sent me a copy! Believe me, I WANT to read it. Perhaps during my next reviewing break I will.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

And there you have it! The final post in the Authors from A to Z challenge here on Proud Book Nerd! I hope you enjoyed reading about all of these fabulous authors.

HUGE thanks to every author who participated! THANK YOU! This event ROCKED because of you! I had a blast working with you, and hope to have the opportunity to do so again in the future! Best of luck to you all in your future bookish endeavors (and everything else, too)!

And if you participated, THANK YOU! I have discovered many, many great new authors. (As if my TBR list needed to be longer! LOL) I have tried to at least read everyone’s posts, and comment when I felt I had something to say. If I missed you, please let me know and I’ll come check it out.

Look for a wrap-up post sometime in the first week of July! (And, yes, I will do this again. Probably next year – same time, same place! ;-) )

    I thought you was going to say who hasn’t read it, i’m like you, have it but haven’t read it. Also, I have Ashes to Water on my kindle, great to hear you enjoyed it. I’m going to go look at your review of it.

    I want to read The Book Thief too, but have not picked it up yet. I wish I’d gotten in on this challenge this month. Maybe next year!

      I’m sorry you missed it, Lisa! I might do something A to Z in November, but I’m not sure what. (And it might be my other blog, instead of here. I haven’t decided yet.) Anyway, I am hoping to do a better job of promoting it in advance next time around. It was a last-minute decision this year! LOL
