So, I know it's not a Friday. And I know I'm not scheduled to post. But I just had to blog about this exciting news!
One of my all time favourite books is To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I adore this book (and the film) and I think its messages are ones that will stay with me for life. I think this book will stay with me for life.
Harper Lee has never written another book after To Kill A Mockingbird.
UNTIL NOW!!!!!
She has just announced that on July 14th, her second book will be published!!!! 'Go, Set A Watchman' is a sequel, of sorts, to TKAM, and tells the story of a grown up Scout. Harper Lee originally wrote this sequel from the POV of grown up Scout, with flashbacks. But her publisher said she preferred the flashbacks and so Lee wrote a book entirely about Scout's childhood - et voila, To Kill A Mockingbird. But today/recently, a friend of Harper Lee found the original script and it is now being published!
I'M SO EXCITED YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND OH MY GOOOOSSSHHHHH.
*fangirl moment over* (kinda)
Anyway, that's all for now. I just wanted to share that EXCTING news with you.
I hope you all have a lovely week. Love you!

ReplyDeleteSO EXCITED! Absolutely monumental - I have no doubt it will become part of the English Literature syllabus alongside To Kill A Mockingbird. Very high expectations.
