My 96th Read

I am excited.

I just started reading it actually.

I just want to tell you that it’s a sort of “hello again, here I am finally touching the leaves of your story”.

Can you imagine  it was first published in 1939? A poignant coming-of-age novel set in a Welsh mining town, penned by Richard Llewellyn. It is his first novel. I saw copies of this book several years ago at the Humanities Section of the UST Main Library but I was never curious to read it. It is now a contemporary classic.

And yes, it is my 96th read in this year’s reading challenge.  Right after I posted it on my FB wall, two friends commented:

Read this during my high school/college days. Wonderful book. Seems I lost my copy though. Happy reading, Arlene – Dolly

This novel is so freakin beautiful and touching… truly made me cry – Fredda

If this won’t get you interested, I don’t know what will.
