Big Book Reading 2024 - hosted by time4reading

The One That Got Away
For this prompt pick a book that you’ve been meaning to get to but haven't. One that’s been sitting on your shelf or one you should have read for school but, um, maybe just watched the film or read the Cliff’s Notes (or Cole’s Notes, for my Canadian friends) and hoped to get away with it. It’s the book you’ve really been meaning to read…someday. Make that day in 2024.
