So Dils thought that doing meme for books will spark the blogging mood that seems evaporated over times. Yeah sure, I don’t have anything much to share or write in the blog anyway. Life has been pretty dull and boring without any drama. Same old, same old.

The meme will go for 30 days; and one question (about books) will need to be answered every day. On a second thought, I think I might do several posts on one day, and then scheduled it to be posted on different days. LOL!

Here’s the question for day 1:

Best book you read last year

Now here’s a problem; I can’t really remembered the date I bought a book, or when did I read it. I always buy, and then read it later. Same problem with Dils. Solution? I’ll just estimate… I think I read this book last year…

My answer: The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti

Yeah found the exact cover via Google Image

It’s a story about a twelve-year-old Ren, who is missing his left hand and abandoned as an infant at Saint Anthony’s orphanage. One day a young man named Benjamin Nab appears and claiming to be his long-lost brother; and he takes him away on a strange journey entangled with grave-robbers, thieves, and murderers.

I think it’s one of the best book I’ve read since it has a distinct description on how bizarre an environment can be, and how a small child is expected to make a decision that will determined his future life. Enough twist, enough love, simple vocabulary, mindfucked. The revelation of the kids parentage did shocked me.

So it’s good enough for me to nominate it as one of the best book I’ve ever read last year.

Oh and I found out the writer website’s, in case anyone wanted to read more summary or anything about the books. here’s the link: http://hannahtinti.com/the-good-thief/
