August Book Club Selection: To Kill a Mockingbird

Since we didn't receive any response on the previous post in which we asked about title suggestions, we’d like to announce that To Kill a Mockingbird is the choice we made for August, let us know if you’re willing to take part and commit to the reading schedule and the discussion sessions so we could start. Again, without your contribution and willingness to read with us, the bookclub wouldn’t work out so we’re waiting for your approval.

  4. I loved this book when I read it at school! Unfortunatly I am currently in the middle of a big chunky book that is going to take me a while to finish so I don't want to start another one just yet. Will do a little post about the new book on my blog tomorrow though if that is any help to you? Keep up the good work :) OB

  8. This book is so simple,so lucid yet it touches your heart. Harper Lee won a Pulitzer for this one and she deserves it!!
    This book is set in early nineties in a small town in Mississippi. The protagonist is a small girl who leans about life. Scout is a small girl, who along with her brother Jem see the evil of racism. Their father , Atticus is a lawyer who defends an innocent black man. In the end the evil of racism sees the poor man being punished. Yet we see how the incident affects Scout and Jem and how Atticus teaches the entire world a lesson.
