Update: My niece isn't too keen on seeing To Kill a Mockingbird at the Utah Shakespeare Festival this summer. Says she didn't care for the book in high school.
One of our favorite actors is back this summer, so I sent her this message:
"You must see To Kill a Mockingbird. Iago is Atticus!"
Slimy, brilliant Iago will morph into wise, gentle Atticus. The magic of theater!
OK, this is my first experience with a blog hop. Mea culpa.
I am supposed to feature a favorite character from YA literature
and offer a giveaway on my blog.
That's easy enough, though I have to choose two characters:
Scout and Jem from my favorite novel, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
Leave a comment about Jem or Scout or To Kill a Mockingbird here on my blog
between March 21 and March 28, 2012.
That's all you have to do.
I'll select one entry at random and
the prize will be a copy of the book.
If you're the winner, I'll contact you for your snail mail address.
You can visit all the other participating blogs and register for their giveaways

And a plug for a wonderful annual festival:
I'm seeing the stage production of To Kill a Mockingbird this summer at the Utah Shakespeare Festival. I've seen it performed before and it's beautifully written and designed.

To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite books EVER!! I read it in 9th grade and loved it. Atticus and Scout and Boo Radley are just such great characters.
thanks for the giveaway!

I actually adore this book and I think my sister might love it even more then me because on her 18th birthday she got a tattoo of a mockingbird on her collar bone, because the book affected her so.
I would love to win for her!

I've always loved Atticus Finch...a local store has "What Would Atticus Do?" buttons, and I bought several.

One of the best works of literature ever. I live only a couple hours away from Monroeville AL, where Harper Lee grew up and based the town and many of the characters from TO Kill A Mockingbird. Every year the town's community theater stages a production based on the novel.I think that's so cool I've never been, I'm waiting for my boys to get a little older so we can go together:)Have fun at your performance! Thanks for the giveaway!

I have always wanted to see the movie based on the book. I remember reading the book along time ago. I would love to read it now.

The relationship Scout has with her father is so inspiring. I love the actress who played Scout in the wonderful movie version and wonder if she did anything else.
It has been so long since I read this book. It would be great to read again and for my kids to read too. Thanks for reminding about this book!
I would love for you to come sign up for the Friday the 13th blog hop. Sign ups available now! Drop by and check it out.

I already own this book but it is awesome so go you for picking it!
I've actually never read this...I know, I know I have to...I've heard soooo many good things about this book but I never really got a chance to read it. I will though... :) Thanks for the giveaway!
I love To Kill a Mockingbird! I first read it in high school. Then I re-read it in college just because I loved it. Then I read it a few years ago for a book group at my local library. This is such an amazing book. I'd love to own my own copy. Thanks for the chance to win!
