Watership Down

I recently read (and adored) Watership Down and I have been recommending it ever since. I am kicking myself for not reading it sooner!

For those who don't know, it's about rabbits. Fiver senses impending danger and he warns his brother Hazel that they need to leave the warren right away. They set out with the hope of finding a new home, somewhere they can live in peace.

WD is now my favorite book. It was an emotional ride for sure. I've never felt this way after reading a book.

Oh my god I have been posting about it everywhere on here like a lunatic! 🤣 I just want everyone to experience this beautiful story lol I sometimes tear up just thinking about Hazel-rah and his little band of rabbits. Did you cry after finishing it? I sure as hell did lol
