I know that it has been WAY too long! The end of the school year was so hectic! Never fear I have 7 books that I plan on adding and I need to also add the books that James is into right now.
On to The Help, I loved this book! It was so good that I did not actually finish it... March was a very busy time for my family and I did not have a lot of time to read, so I skimmed the second half of the book. When I skim a book, it is usually because I love it and don't have the patience to read it! Ha! This is a story set in 1960's Mississippi. Once girl, Skeeter, sees the way the help is treated and wants to know their story. Skeeter is a wonderful character. I would recommend this book. Plus it is going to be a movie coming out in August. So read it soon!

This was our April book... The author writes about the "girlie-girl" culture in America. She has been writing about this since before she had a daughter. Now that she has an elementary school student, the author has first hand knowledge of this culture. I did not care for this book at all. It seemed like one big rant to me... I wouldn't recommend it.
This was a recent book club book... (aka, I don't know what month because it has been THAT long! :)) I liked the story, but I have a thing for Historical Fiction. It is a story set during the Salem Witch Hunt about a family whose mother is convicted as a witch. I don't usually read about that time period, but I thought that it was really interesting. Not sure how historically correct any of it was, but it was interesting. The only problem was it was a little long, slow, and wordy... Again I did not finish it, just skimmed it because I really liked the story line.
