oooh yes! i never cared for [name_f]Scout[/name_f] till i tead To Kill a Mockingbird and now itā€™s so cute! especially with brother [name_m]Jem[/name_m] :sparkles:

I didnā€™t like it until i read it either!! And [name_m]Jem[/name_m] as a nickname for [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] didnā€™t even occur to me. Also, the author of that book made me prefer [name_f]Nelle[/name_f] to [name_f]Nell[/name_f]. Thatā€™s definitely one of my favorite books.
