I really want to read The Immortal Rules and I heard a little bit about Skylark. Hope you enjoy all your books!
Yay! I finished Greatest Love Story yesterday and still haven't been able to bring myself to start anything new because I want more. 😐
Island of Wings has a VERY pretty cover, and I *LOVED* The Book Thief just too afraid to go thrusting books at people. xD
Great choice of book for your Book Night handout. I imagine that you'll not have any left once you're done.
Have a great World Book Night.
The Book Thief is brilliant. I'm giving out Sleepyhead.
I want to be one of these crazy people!!! but I'm too late as usual ;)) I was just thinking what a pretty cover Island of Wings has and that I would love to read your review of Skylark (I didn't dare to request more than 5 books at a time from Netgalley, otherwise they just refuse me), but Skylark and Aurororama are on my to-read list anyway. Enjoy and good luck tomorrow!
I love that cover of the book thief. Good luck with giving them away, I hope the people who recieve them appreciate what a great book it is!
Great haul! I have Immortal Rules as well and can not wait to read it. Happy reading! xoxo

I loved The Book Thief. Didn't realise it was world book day so soon. I might try to take part next year. Am thinking the Julian Barnes book might be my next one from the library.
wow busy girl! I got Let The Right One In 😀

Jeez I'd love for someone to thrust books at me xD Where will you go a-thrusting?
I'm so jealous you got Skylark! It looks awesome I was sadly declined 🙁 Immortal Rules was a great read too hope you enjoy it!
