Number 5 out of 6 of my #fivestarrereadalong. I really got into this one and ended up loving it, but… ? . . . To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee If you’re in the mood for something: reflective, dark, emotional, slow-paced Strong character development? ✅ Loveable characters? ✅ Diverse cast of characters? ❌ Flaws of main characters centre-stage? ✅ 4.5 ⭐️ . . . Why? I really enjoyed revisiting To Kill A Mockingbird and meeting these characters once again, fifteen years after I first studied the book at school. Of course, being a lot older, and no longer a teenager, meant I had a deeper appreciation for Harper Lee's message and the story certainly tugged at my heartstrings. Lee writes the children characters so well that, although I wouldn't call this a funny book, I did find myself chuckling from time to time at certain turns of phrase, and reading about Scout and Jem's reasoning about the world around them as they grew up was so heartwarming. And what a pleasure it was to meet Atticus again. That man! ? . . . Occasionally, I found the book a little too slow or dense, and there were times when I'd lose concentration and have to reread small passages. Despite that, this is certainly a classic that I'll be recommending to everyone. . . . Final book of this challenge to come. The Secret History. I often refer to it as one of my all-time faves. We’ll see. ?

"I'd never yell "Good luck!" at anybody. It sounds terrible when you think about it" ✨ Today we start our Spring Break family vacation, yay! The best part for me is the long drive, I can just sit and relax with my book for hours. This time I chose to bring The Catcher in the Rye. I've just started reading and I really like it so far, even Holden. He is really interesting, so looking forward to getting to know him better. Have you met him? What do you think of him? ✨ . #roadtrip #readinginthecar #holden #bookstogo #catcherintherye #jdsalinger #currentlyreading #whatiamreading #springbreak #bookish #bookishlove #booklover #reader #fortheloveofreading #fortheloveofbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #allthebooks #igreader #instabooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer

"Sometimes you can do everything right and things will still go wrong. The key is to never stop doing right." . . What I liked: *I really like reading a book from a point-of-view that I can't speak from. It truly helps in understanding what others are thinking. *@angiethomas provides a balance in this book of how all of us, no matter what our skin color is, can be guilty of judging others by their skin color. . . What would have made it better: *I felt there should have been more time spent on what happened when Starr was interviewed on tv and when she was interviewed by the Grand Jury. I would have liked to have known Starr's thoughts during these events. . . #thehateyougive #thehateyougivebook #booksofinstagram #booklover #thug #thuglife #racism #books #yabooks #yabookstagram #bookstagram #angiethomas #yareading
