Sweet mother of Jesus. It happened to me again, for the second time in 24 hours!!! I ordered the book on the left (this time from a seller on Abe Books), and got the cover on the right. 😭
Seeing as how I scrolled through PAGES of this title in order to select a specific cover, and purposely did not order any of the scores of cheaper listings featuring the cover on the right, I‘m seriously annoyed. 🤬

pickGonna start nice and blunt.
Racism is bad, there is no argument there, but the level seen in this book is outside any experience I have ever had in my lifetime, so truly understanding the world and characters that Harper Lee created was a slow and steady process.
The book is good, but it took time for the world to feel real to me, but it certainly stuck with me once I finished.
pick"I asked Miss Maudie about it. 'Your father‘s right,' she said. 'Mockingbirds don‘t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don‘t eat up people‘s gardens, don‘t nest in corncribs, they don‘t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That‘s why it‘s a sin to kill a mockingbird.'"

A full building evacuation drill at work resulted in some time for me to finally start To Kill a Mockingbird. I‘ve never read this before so I‘m excited to cross this off my list
? When you're trying to be funny with your 13 year old and circle her 22 year old Literature teacher's mistakes in her letter home only to read all the way to the end where it says "sign and return." ?????
Today, we participated in a fundraiser for our amazing local, all-inclusive playground. For a donation, we got to paint a parking space (and can repaint as many times as we like for 1 year). The lot is very old and bumpy, so this ended up being way harder than anticipated, but here‘s our spot! #atticus

This was a lot of fun and I hope everyone who wants to join in does.
There‘s a restaurant in Rotorua, New Zealand called Atticus Finch. ❤️😄❤️

pickScout and Dill are two of my favorite literary characters. I like this novel even more as an audiobook, narrated by Sissy Spacek. Overall rating: 4.48 stars
Like many kids, I read To Kill a Mockingbird as part of an assignment. At that time, it topped the list of my fave required reading. Coming back to this one for my podcast as an adult was especially interesting. I still loved the writing + the glimpse of childhood we get through Scout‘s eyes (+ Scout!). But I also became aware that its depiction of race is way more complicated than I understood as a teen. Learn more on my latest ep! Link in bio.
pickI finally read To Kill a Mockingbird. When I was reading the first page I realized from the first few lines that I had tried reading this book a long time ago... I must've stopped too early and never got around to finishing it. This book has many good moral lessons and as for Atticus Finch... What can I say???? Such a wonderful Character.

I love this. Any other book or movie dad would make a big deal and say "Then you'll do it for THREE months". But lawyer dad is like "One month was the sentence handed down, so one month you will serve, and your debt to Mrs. Dubose's camellias will be paid." #justice ?
I'm having one of those moments I haven't had in a few years, where I get both melancholy for my late #ADHD diagnosis (at 26) and grateful (better late than never). #Audiobooks are a godsend, library ones exponentially so. It still astounds me I managed to (barely) graduate law school undiagnosed, but this classic of my profession has sat on my shelf unread for 5 years. Now I'm ⅓ of the way through, having only started it 4 hours ago 😊 #Pulitzer
To kill a Mockingbird.
Reading one of my all-time favorites while getting cuddles from my youngest son 😍❤😘
Hey guys so sorry I‘m posting this so late! My grandparents took me to see to kill a mockingbird play and for dinner we went to the famous Sardis! Thank you again for buying me these books!
Well for the next month, I‘m reading graphic novels! I have 83 that have been waiting for me to enjoy! Let‘s see how many I can get through!
Took my favorite person to see the stage adaptation of my favorite book. Incredible performance! #datenight #tokillamockingbird Still marveling at how little progress we have made since 1960.
Reading the comments, i am skeptical if any of the commentators actually read the complete book. What is the point of speeding through school if you didn‘t learn anything of use? And taking the test together is pointless unless we all are going to crash together or soar together. Love, G0d. Because God is Love.
pickThis book was introduced to me when I was 14 years ago. It remains in my top three all time. It resonates with me. This story cannot be told enough.
#AugustABC @Eggs This classic is about the loss of #innocence - both in terms of a young girl learning the truth about the world she lives in and in a miscarriage of justice.
There's nothing in here on how to kill a Mockingbird!! 😾😾😾😾
This 2015 photo showed up in my Time Hop today. I had it made into a mousepad for work and see it daily, but I still love it a lot. I call it my daughter's Scout Finch photo.

I just finished reading Furious Hours by Casey Cep (it's about an unfinished true crime book Harper Lee was writing) and I started thinking of my visit to HarperCollins on Epic Reads Day! One of their lobby coffee tables is filled with Lee-related memorabilia including an ARC of TKAM!
Don't forget to enter my #32kGiveaway of a book I got signed at EpicReads Day! See my original post for #giveaway details:

pickI don‘t think it will come as any surprise, but I‘m going to say it for the record, anyway: I wholeheartedly recommend To Kill A Mockingbird. Read it out of curiosity, read it for the cultural capital, read it for nostalgia, read it for the questions it raises – just read it! It is accessible and engaging for all readers, of any age, anywhere in the world. Full review here: http://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/to-kill-a-mockingbird-harper-lee/
The journey is now complete. 🖤🖤
Had the best time tonight at To Kill a Mockingbird with fellow theatre aficionado Todd Doughty — a friend who knows the book and movie EVEN BETTER THAN I DO! Big props to cast and crew and everyone involved with the poignant, powerful drama .

• Can't think of a better performer for this classic novel than Sissy Spacek; she narrates Scout's voice so convincingly, the silly youth shining through the serious contemplations of life... •

pickI was initially forced to read this and I am not going to lie the first few chapters took a minute for me to get through but once the story started to get going I couldn‘t put it down. The way Harper Lee was able to incorporate so many metaphors and life lessons all compact into one tiny story amazed me. I highly recommend this novel for anyone who enjoys classics or a real thought provoking tale!
pickIt‘s taken me a long time to get round to reading this, but finally I did. Lee does go into some depth describing events that don‘t drive the story forward much, but apart from that, it is a book rightly placed on the list of 1001 books to read before you die.

~ 10 books to add to my list ~ https://www.pbs.org/newshour/arts/10-books-besides-to-kill-a-mockingbird-that-ta...
Just finished this classic .. it was kind of a slow read. No exciting events not really anything special I personally think it‘s overrated , however it taught me new perspectives in life and it was interesting to live in the point of view of a child (scout) and see how innocent and simple children‘s thoughts really are .. #classic #literature #tokillamockingbird #whitegurl #starbucks #3stars
I very rarely wear jewelry, but as soon as I saw this bracelet, I knew I had to have it!
pickIt's always good to reread a classic. My book club decided to read this one and I was surprised at how many members have never read it.
