Life came to a screeching halt this week. My BGF gave me the book The Help by Kathryn Stockett. Typically, I try not to pick up novels unless I'm heading into a long weekend or vacation since I've been known to completely ignore life while I'm caught up in a good book.I didn't mean to get sucked in. I just planned to read a chapter or two.... kind of a running start on our upcoming spring vacation.
The book held my full attention. It took most of my waking moments and a few of the sleeping ones. The story (while fictional) portrays the dawn of Civil Rights.
I LOVE anything related to history.
I also love writers who can paint pictures with their words. Oh how I wish I had been given that talent.
The good news is that I have returned from the land of blissful reading. We've been working on several new projects and this book derailed any chance of sharing them with you this week. Next week is looking much more promising.
I did the same thing with this book...I could NOT put it down. Right up my reading alley...it was soooo good!
