EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club discussion

Mine might sound weird.... but ever since I was little I have had deep compassion for animals, not valuing their lives or caring for their suffering less than ours. When I read/watched The Green Mile, the way I saw John Coffey hurting for the pain and suffering of others was the best example I've ever found to begin to explain how I hurt when I see animals suffering, and it's an ongoing pain because it happens all of the time. love John Coffey!

P.s. I care about people too, it just pains me that a lot of humans don't value animals as worthy of good care, proper living conditions, humane handling, and emotional health.

I think have a bit of Mary Lennox, from The Secret Garden in me. I can be difficult and demanding, but given love & inspiration I can blossom, too.

Donald Sullivan in Nobody's Fool. I can occasionally seem aloof and indifferent, but I'm loyal and will try to help if I can.

I relate to all the coming of age characters I read about, for example Cassandra from I Capture the Castle.

I think I'm 100% Anne from Anne of Green Gables.

alina from shadow and bone.

in the first book she is described as overly skinny and not paid attention to, just like me.

Anne of Green Gables.
