It's the freakin' weekend, and i decided to opt out of #fridayreads and opt in for my weekend reads this week, there is so much i want to read, and i feel like at the moment im just not catching it up, ive finally got back into the habit of reading for an hour before bed though so that is helping; anyway - onto the books.
Black Rabbit Hall
At Black Rabbit Hall
nothing much ever happens - time seems to move slower at
this idyllic holiday home in Cornwall. Until the worst thing
happens and for the Alton children time feels like it's
stopped altogether. As they run wild, lost in grief and
confusion, an outsider, Caroline Shawcross, and her dark, angry
son Lucian enter their lives, changing them forever.
In the present day, Lorna Smith is searching for her perfect wedding venue and is inexplicably drawn to the now crumbling Black Rabbit Hall, unaware that her own history is locked up in those derelict walls...

Thoughts so far; The description is wonderful and you feel yourself lost amongst the crumbling walls of the hall, in the woods around it and in the mystery of the building. Everytime i finish a chapter i feel like i read more to find out all the answers; from the past to the present, its so far a beautiful read.
To Kill A Mockingbird
The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird
became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was
first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961
and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic.
Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behavior—to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 18 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature.

Thoughts; I never got the pleasure of reading this in school, i cannot recall what we read instead, but i know it wasnt this, and im late to the party i know, but with the release of Watchman, i need to get cracking.
