I couldn't decide if the challenge was classic 'you' (reed) or classic you (red), but I think this fits both options.

He turned out the light and went into Jem‘s room. He would be there all night, and he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning.

To Kill a Mockingbird on Herbert Anthony Eastman‘s grave marker in Calvary Cemetery. Celebrating a friend‘s 60th in the cemetery.
Embarrassed to say I have never read this Pulitizer Priize winner, just started and already having trouble putting it down to get on with my day.
Sometimes a book comes along you are sad to finish, this is one such book.

pickI have read this book several times and it never ceases in its ability to amaze me⦠so poignant and powerful. It is just as important and relevant today as when it was first released!
βYou never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view...Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.β
Since this book is historical fiction there are many things that are different from then and now. Back then black and white people did not go to the same school, shop at the same grocery store, or use the same bathrooms. We can teach our children about the different cultures and races of people. Especially since nowadays there are more families immigrating into the U.S. We can teach our children about the past but teach ways to better the future.
pickThis is a historical fiction book. This story takes place during the 1930s. During this time in history black and white people did not share the same restroom let alone live together. Times were quite different, especially how people lived and how people treated each other. During this time the Civil Rights action was starting to take place. Black people were starting to stand up for themselves and want more freedom and privileges as white people.
pickAfter years of having it on my tbr-pile I finally read this. It was beautiful and sad and still so accurate in today‘s time. That really got me.
A reread for me. First read for my daughter. She enjoyed it too.

pickI have read and reread this one and it never loses its magic. This most recent reread was inspired by our brand new pup that we named Scout. It was Atticus and Calpurnia that stuck out to me this time, my first reading it after becoming a parent. It‘s an impossible task, raising a child. The impact those two have on the story and Scout and Jem can‘t be measured. I know I‘ll reread this one again in every new season of life.
pickFew things in life are better than re-reading a beloved book. I‘m shocked at how much I did not take in the first times I‘ve read this book. I am very impressed with the ease with which it is narrated through the eyes of little Scout. A fine novel indeed.
I thought my cat Watney had followed my husband upstairs - then turned and found him apparently reading over the shoulder of the cat on my couch pillow! π

#CourtroomSetting #BookBinge @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Why is it that with all the dozens and dozens of books I can think of I‘ve read where people should have been in court, have been in court, are in jailβ¦ this is the only one I can think of with an actual courtroom scene? You see court on TV all the time! Is it in some way visually interesting that‘s boring to write about, or am I just watching a different kind of media than I‘m readingβ¦π€
This beauty was named Harper before she became my fur baby/service dog/constant companion/shadow. I started calling her Harper Lee a few days after that. I figure, if I‘m going to use the name, I should probably at least reread this book and read Go Set A Watchman. πβπ¦Ίπ
Itβs Book Lovers Day! What are you reading today?
To celebrate Iβm sharing some of my favorite bookish quotes over on the blog. Links in the bio.
And donβt forget to check out my new bookish prints just listed over on my Pangobooks shop: https://pangobooks.com/bookstore/wildwoodreads
Happy National Book Lovers day! Hopefully we will all be able to see images soon π How is everyone spending their day? I‘ve toted my current read to work/pet sitting to read when I can π
pickWe listened to 99% of this in the car, and I just finished the last two pages in a physical copy we had at home. Due to covid weirdness my son never got to read this in school, and I was glad to have the honor of introducing it to him.

Two Things:
1. If the cover is beyond disturbing.
2. If the cover has NOTHING to do with the story!
These are covers from other countries, but still ... what visual message is being given?
pickI had forgotten just how good this is! It really leads you through the full spectrum of emotions- from laughter to tears to heartwrenching moments of gentle beauty....one of my all time faves! All pupils should have to study this! I reread it to help my son who is currently studying it β€οΈ
