Round Two: The Help


I think everyone's had a chance at round one, right? I have really enjoyed this so far, even though I haven't been the best about reading every book. I blame moving all over the country for that. And I also blame this baby fever that seems to have taken hold of everyone else for the lack of comments from everyone else. :) Anyway, I think there have been some good discussions so far, so let's keep going with a good thing! I will do September-October, and then it's back to Losaunne for November-December.

The book I chose for this month is The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I have been wanting to read this for a while now, but I wasn't sure I would get a chance in Israel. Sunday night I realized that it was my turn again, and all I wanted to read for this month was The Help. But where would I get a copy?

And then Monday I went to the bookstore on campus here to get a textbook. And guess what? Sitting in front of the store, in a pile of bestsellers on sale, was The Help. And it was only 20 shekels (about $5.45)! You can bet that I took it as a sign. This was the book we needed to read.

Anyway, I hope all of you can get a copy or at least watch the film. I'm excited.
