#TBRtemptation post 1! #PhillyMeetUp edition! Proudly displayed by @lmstraubie ! A top American classic. Iconic, legendary, essential Americana. From the painting of the white picket fence, to the cave, to Injun Joe, this set the stage for yet another iconic book--Huckleberry Finn. This one has more variety, more comedy, more of the picaresque. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

My two absolute favorite #ruralsetting books when I was younger. I couldn't get enough! Bought these copies on our most recent trip to New Orleans in hopes I could get my daughter to love them just as much! I haven't read them as an adult. I wonder if my sense of adventure is still as high as it was back then? 😬 #aprilbookshowers

First time reading Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn! Join me on my literary walk of shame as I read the stuff I should have read over 30 years ago. http://cannonballread.com/2016/05/i-have-just-read-mark-twain-for-the-first-time...
