Good reads!

I was assigned some of these books in school and they traumatized me! Didn't everyone have to read Shirley Jackson's The Lottery?? OH! And All Summer by Ray Bradbury, I loved Bradbury and innocently read that on my own. The stuff of nightmares! I'm getting a stomachache right now!

"By the age of 70, he who doesn’t read will have lived only one life. He who reads will have lived 5000 years. Reading is immortality backwards."

Heartwarming find today! Just stumbled upon the Little Free Library on Huffman Rd (just off Ridge Rd) in Harrow and it's absolutely delightful. The book selection is fantastic, and it's clear the library is curated with so much care. A big thank you to the steward for sharing their love of reading with the community!
