Hello my fellow readers! I have finished Kathryn Stockett's, "The Help". This book was an eye opener to me on how the working class African Americans were treated before segregation became accepted. Hopefully if I lived back then I would be like the main character Skeeter and try to make a difference in any way I could. I liked Skeeter because she took a stand for what she believed in even when none of her friends supported her. As for Minny, she has a 'pit bull' attitude and had to control it in order to keep a job. However sometimes it got the better of her. Ms. Aibileen has a good heart and tried to think of the silver lining in the worst situations however you can only turn your back on so much. When these three characters team up you are in for a wild ride of what's to come and how they handle it. I hope the movie is as enjoyable as the book!
Now I am reading Jill Shalvis's, Lucky Harbor Series. The first one is "Simply Irresistible". This is the first book I have read by Jill. So far I have no complaints. I like how she tells the story and of course the 'steamy' scenes :)
Stay tuned...
