![]() ![]() Excited to talk more about Hitty! As with our previous buddy read, we include several plot spoilers in our reviews so we can discuss the full novel. I loved our first buddy read because it helped me think more deeply about a great novel with a good friend. After we both finish the novel, we each come up with 5 questions (total of 10) to answer in our reviews. You might remember our first Newbery buddy read of When You Reach Meby Rebecca Stead (go read that novel now! It’s fantastic!). I was lucky to buddy read this novel with my friend Jackie Death By Tsundoku. It took me a bit to really get invested in Hitty’s story, but soon I really enjoyed it. Hitty won the 1930 Newbery Medal and I was excited to read this early winner. I am so excited to share my review of Hitty: Her First Hundred Years by Rachel Field today. ![]() Felidae akif5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() An animated movie based on Felidae, the script of which had been co-written by Pirinçci, was produced in Germany in 1994, and was also dubbed in English.
