[Katie-Ellen]

Talk about pressure of expectation ...what's the pressure on this old/new re-discovered book by Harper Lee.

Oh *SIGH* Can't wait to read this!!!

Spooky! I read this chapter online this morning (and also can't wait for Tuesday's release) and was about to post a link so you beat me to it!
The chapter already has me hooked and the character of Scout, sorry Jean Louise now, is already full and vibrant. And there's a wonderful line near the end: "If you didn't want much, there was plenty."
Sigh...

**searches vainly for time machine**

It had me hooked right away, too.

This is by far the most exciting thing in publishing... Beats JK any day!

Gulp...
I certainly hadn't seen this coming.

What struck me about this book launch, was how strange it was to see images of people queuing to buy a book, walking around holding it up and looking at it with delight, sitting down on a bench and reading it - all sights that usually involve someone being transfixed by their smart phone.

It's nice to see people reading actual books.

Amazon FINALLY shipped my paperback copy!!! Can't wait to start reading this. Yes, I'm old school. I wanted an actual book. LOL! Some works you simply have to hold in your hands.

I so agree. Quite by chance I saw it at the till in the supermarket when I popped in at the end of the day yesterday so I grabbed my copy right there!
