chez moi
I am doing book research (really) in and around Bordeaux, the Dordogne and the Lot. Dodging the Tour de France today. First stop, Chateau Lamothe, where I have the most adorable room!

Where were you when you read it for the first time?
I'm assuming you read it more than once. Pretty much everybody I know has. To Kill a Mockingbird is now fifty years old. I was ten or eleven when I read it for the first time, and I loved it so much I can still tell you exactly what I wore (plaid pedal pushers) and ate (orange double popsicles), what the air felt like around me (hot) and the glimmer of the flashlight losing battery power as I stayed up extra late to finish. I remember staring at the tree on the cover and trying to picture...
