I thought Thursday when I finished Tending the Heart of Virtue that I was sucessfully whittling away from my overly inclusive list "What I'm Reading". But I just got off the phone with my dear friend Hannah, who LOVES the book To Kill a Mockingbirdby Harper Lee,
and she suggested that we read it together and then talk about it. How can I possibly resist this??? So I am pumped. Adam Dalgliesh will take a short rest break on the edge of my bedside table while I see what's going on with Scout these days and how Atticus Finch is going to save the day. I can't wait. How about you Hannah? Anybody else want to join us?

Thanks friend. I love the character of Atticus. He's the kind of man that challenges me to do better--and he's a lawyer. I thought it strange at first that Scout refers to her father as Atticus, but I got over it. What secrets lie within the Radley house? Why the title, To Kill a Mockingbird? All the questions will be answered. . .Thank you for reading this with me. I'm enjoying it just as much the second time around.

Read my Strings blog, Heather...I'll call soon! Love and prayers, Holly
This is my most favorite-est book! I read it and cry at least once a year :) Good choice of reading!

Yay for TKAM Lovers! It's one of my favorites, and my students loved it this year, too.
If you come see us again, I will show you my HORRIBLE high school English video in which I played a lame version of "Scout".

OK Heather, I finished it tonight. I started reading it to Austin yesterday. As per Wade's suggestion in Sunday's sermon, I feel this will give us openings for discussions, touchy as they may be, to topics that we wouldn't broach otherwise. His suggestion wasn't to read TKAM to your kids, by the way, just that parents should begin explaining the "birds and the bees" before kids have a chance to learn it elsewhere. So. . .are you done yet?
