My Recent Posts

The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig - Review (What a fun series!)
Read It Again, Sam Challenge Sign-Up (Glad to find a reason to reread without feeling guilty.)
The Last Runaway by Tracy Chevalier - Review

What I Read Last Week

Serving Victoria: Life in the Royal Household by Kate Hubbard (My review should be posted next Tuesday.)

What I'm Reading Now

The Help by Kathryn Stockett (Our book club selection for the month. I've got two weeks to finish it before our meeting, but I don't think it's going to last another two days. What a great book!)

What's Coming Up Next

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain (This was my Classics Club spin, so I need to read it by April 2. I haven't read any Mark Twain outside of Huckleberry Finn in high school. I am very much looking forward to reading this one!)

I love it when I feel the way you are feeling about The Help, when you just don't want a book to end.

The Help was so hard to put down that I was slightly late to work this morning. I just had to finish it!

Your book club should rent the movie also, excellent book adaptation.

We probably will end up watching the movie at some point. I'm glad to hear it's a good adaptation, because I love the book!

So you're enjoying The Help... Will you be sharing your thoughts once you've completed? I've seen the film on Netflix and been tempted to watch a couple of times but have been in two minds as I don't know which format I wish to see the story in, or even both?!
Happy Reading!
:-)

I definitely enjoyed The Help. I would say do both. I've only seen bits and pieces of the movie (on an airplane). I plan on watching it for real now that I've read the book. I would imagine, though, that the book does a better job of stretching out the intensity of "what's going to happen next?". Either way, you've got to become familiar with this story. (Just like The Book Thief. Have you read it yet? ;)
