pickThis book was almost continually frustrating because I so wanted things to be different for Tess. She tried hard to do what she felt was right or what she had to do, and it never went her way. After recently finishing Clarissa, I didn‘t think I would soon read another book with a man that made me so angry, but Hardy managed to make me detest multiple male characters. Yet, he wrapped it all up in absolutely beautiful and descriptive writing.
Was feeling low, went to the library, found this while browsing, read twenty pages and instantly felt better.
Part one was one of my favourite books last year. Lovely to be back with the Cazalets. 🩵

I read banned books, and I always want to know why they were banned. There are 2 banned books that stand out to me as the most ridiculous: 1) Junie B. Jones books were challenged/banned because Junie doesn't always do what she's supposed to, and she doesn't use proper grammar. 2) Lord of the Flies was banned at one point because of its violence, and the belief that people needed something lighter to read.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is my favorite book. I will always remember when I was 12, my grandpa seeing me read it, telling me how much he loved that book and how it was one of his favorites. A story that helped them escape for a while while fighting WWII. I have multiple copies due to the fact that anytime I see one at a booksale I feel the need to give this extraordinary story a home. #sentimental #fallintobooks #thepowerofbooks
