I loved it too, but similarly I was 16 when I read it. I'm going to try to re-read it with the group this month. It will be interesting to see if my thoughts about it have changed.
Henric wrote: "Yes, some books are listed several times - I read by Audio books. I have anxiety and panic attacks, and listening to the same book(s) and reader(s) over and over soothes and calms me."Hi Henric, welcome to Hufflepuff! We are always happy to add new badgers!
It is great that rereading helps your anxiety but unfortunately for this competition you are only allowed to count a title once for points. Sorry, I hope you understand.
We've already read Little Fires Everywhere as a group. If you would like to nominate it please go to the catch up nomination thread.
