The Help

Ok ... read Something Blue so fast my head spun.  It was an easy read and I was still on the heels of Something Borrowed so it was so easy to just keep reading.

I started The Help at the beach and I am down to the last few chapters.  I do not want it to end.  I love this book.  It was so hard to read at first.  The way the black women were treated bothered me so deeply.  It wasn't until I started reading the chapters on Skeeter that I realized the book would turn around. 

I just poured myself a cup of coffee and I am heading back to the book for the home stretch.  I will be so sad when the book is finished and counting the days for the movie to be released!  I never read a book so far in advance so this one will be pure agony!  I have watched the preview more than once ... I have to confess!

Then ... on to Water for Elephants ...

What else do I need to add to my reading list?

    Ree Drummond's book 'From Black Heels to Tractor Wheels'. An easy read, and a great book!

    Loved the help too. The glass castle is amazing, you will not be able to put it down.

    I felt exactly the same way when I was reading The Help. I may just reread it; it's been a year since I finished it! Soooo powerful on so many levels. XOXO

    I was so upset when The Help ended..I wanted to know more, and continue my "relationship" with the characters, haha! My mom is down to the last few chapters now and can't put it down!

    I loved The Help! The movie looks great, but I wish they would go ahead and release it, like tomorrow! I'm sure you will enjoy Water for Elephants, it's another one of my favorites!

    I felt the exact same way about The Help. LOVED it. And I was in awe of the author ... imagine? Her first novel?
