Feature & Follow #1

This is my first ever Feature & Follow!

I happened to be over at Read, Rinse, and Repeat's blog and noticed a new post and knew that I had to jump on board!

Before I go any further, let me give credit where it is due and clarify that:

Feature & Follow is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee & Alison Can Read. The purpose is to meet new people and gain more followers in the book blogging community.

Q. Tell us about the most emotional scene you’ve ever read in a book – and how did you react?

A. Agh!!! This brought one book to my immediate attention. Room by Emma Donoghue.

From Goodreads: To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world. It is where he was born and grew up; it's where he lives with his Ma as they learn and read and eat and sleep and play. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits.

Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison where Old Nick has held her captive for seven years. Through determination, ingenuity, and fierce motherly love, Ma has created a life for Jack. But she knows it's not enough...not for her or for him. She devises a bold escape plan, one that relies on her young son's bravery and a lot of luck. What she does not realize is just how unprepared she is for the plan to actually work.

Told entirely in the language of the energetic, pragmatic five-year-old Jack, ROOM is a celebration of resilience and the limitless bond between parent and child, a brilliantly executed novel about what it means to journey from one world to another.

The scene that popped into my head was one of the ones where Jack is locked into the wardrobe at night because of Old Nick's visits. I will be honest, the whole book was emotional, and extremely hard to read. I am still not sure exactly how I feel about the book...

Now, it is your turn. What was your most emotional scene to date?
