AHHH WE’RE SO EXCITED!  You’ve probably heard by now that Harper Lee is set to release her second novel this summer, after more than 50 years. The Guardian is reporting that the book, called Go Set a Watchman, has Scout returning to her hometown of Maycomb as an adult.

“She is forced to grapple with issues both personal and political as she tries to understand both her father’s attitude toward society, and her own feelings about the place where she was born and spent her childhood,” her publisher, Penguin Random House, said in announcement.

Lee wrote it in the mid-1950s — and then set it aside, and, amazingly, forgot it. Through her publisher, she tells readers that “after much thought and hesitation I shared it with a handful of people I trust and was pleased to hear that they considered it worthy of publication. I am humbled and amazed that this will now be published after all these years.”

Go Set a Watchman will be released on July 14, under the William Heinemann imprint, which originally published To Kill a Mockingbird.

I think reading until you fall asleep is one of the most happiest, coziest moments you’ll ever experience in life and I think it needs to happen to you more than once.
