This is hosted by An Adventure in Reading
I am in Brooklyn with Francie Nolan. We are in school and Francie is telling a lie – a BIG lie to her teacher about taking a small pumpkin pie to a poor family, instead of admitting she ate it herself. Pride is a terrible thing and I wish I could reach out and comfort Francie. I wish I could give Francie several whole pies instead of watching her bony shoulders hunch as she bows her head and tears fill her eyes.

WOW! Now I am curious what book you are reading… I have read a couple on this topic
I am in a little coffeeshop, sandwiched between two unlikely lovebirds – a humble, parentless coffeeshop owner Katrina, and Malcolm, who sounds a lot like an angel.

Hey Nikola- excellent place to be in your book!
I LOVE A Tree Grows in Brooklyn! One of my favorites — Shelf-Worthy
I’m sitting with the Count of Monte Cristo, while the other guests are asking about an upcoming execution.
The book really was pretty good. Thanks for stopping Kim!
This sounds so sad. The poor girl is hungry. No child or adult for that should have to go hungry. Sounds sad.
I just was able to get my Where are you? up if you would like to stop by…

Hi Melissa – I will stop over 🙂
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is sooooo good. It’s one of the few books I’d like to re-read sometime.
Morning 3M, yes, this is a keeper book, one I would look through again.
