i have to admit, i finished the help a few weeks ago. i couldn't put it down and just kept reading (all day one saturday, actually - missed my house cleaning day). i did a terrible job blogging about it. i only blogged one time. but, i was facinated by the stories that kathryn stockett came up with and how real they were. although the ending was sad, it was so realistic. i won't go into detail, but i closed the book with great satisfaction. everything was so honest. if stockett would have chosen a softer ending, i think the book would have lost all of it's truth. don't get me wrong, i'm a "happily ever after" kinda gal so i was a little let down.
the help was a great book for me to get back on the reading wagon. i really plan to read water for elephants by sara gruen, our next book club choice. i can't promise i'll be more engaged, but i'm going to try my hardest!
i'm off to the book store to make my little purchase! i love the idea of reading a book. i don't think i'll ever make the move to the new digital books. i'm too oldschool. do you remember the scene between mr. big and carrie in satc I, where they talk about her love for library books? thats kinda how i feel about any book - even new ones have an intoxicating smell of glue and paper ;)
happy thursday! thank goodness it's almost the weekend!
you're ahdorable, so i have an "award" for you today! ;)
