I fell instantly in love with this book though. Having done a re-read of To Kill A Mockingbird in preparation I instantly fell into step with the voice of Jean Louise ‘Scout’ Finch. At 26 years old the character we already know is all there, which makes sense because this is the same character, at […]

Hello, you probably get comments like this all the time, but that was a great post– preceded by many other hilarious tidbits of blog tastiness.
