The Book Thief Challenge: 03/24/09

This challenge is all about getting to know the thief. You may pick how many books to read (since I know a lot of you have many other books to read!):

• 1-3 books ~ Pickpocket
• 3-6 books ~ Candy Shoplifter
• 6-9 books ~Bank Robber
• 9-12+ books ~ Grand Thief

Guidelines/Rules/Notes

• The book can be of any genre (fiction or nonfiction) but must have some relation to thieves/theft. The book can have the word "Thief" in the title, can be about thieves, can involve a scene where something is stolen, etc. Use your imagination if necessary.
  
• Since this started later in the year, any thief-related books may be added to your current list.
  
• Please sign up with Mr. Linky. Make sure the link you added leads to your list/post not just your blog.
  
• Please feel free to use books you read here for other challenges too!
  
• It's not required for you to pre-list your books
  
• The challenge begins today and ends December 31st, 2009
