T o Kill a Mocking bird

Post by urbanchicks »

Never read it but watched the film with Gregory Peck hope they show it again following all this recent publicity of the latest book.

It's been my favourite book since my English teacher introduced me to it when I was 13, I've lost count of how many times I must have read it - I know I'm on my third paperback copy as the previous two fell apart! I have the film on DVD and often stick it on on a Sunday afternoon... lovely!

My copy of the new one arrived on my Kindle at midnight. I'm desperately trying to stop myself reading it so I can save it for my holiday next week but I'm not sure my willpower is strong enough :oops:

My favourite book also - my copy is very battered but I cannot bring myself to replace it! Hubby went into town today and came back with the new book for me - totally unexpected (well, trained!).
I don't think I have seen the film but I am now trying to decide whether to read Mocking Bird again before the new one or whether to dive straight in! :?

I have never read it (I don't read much), but have seen the film many times and love it.

I may well read the new book, and was only thinking yesterday that I might even get round to reading the original.

I have only recently read the book having made a conscious decision to get around to reading all the books that I always wanted to read but had never got around to… it didn’t disappoint. I will get around to reading the new book at sometime soon I suspect, but I have quite a few lined up in my to read library.
