Just read "The Help." One of the best books I have read in a long, long time. Couldn't put it down until I finished it at 2 AM.
Loved that one, too! It was a really fast read for me.
I just finished Children and Fire by Ursula Hegi today, very good. I recommend her other books of this series too, Stones from the River, The Visions of Emma Blau and Floating in my Mother's palm.

Whatever my English Comp II teacher assigns I finally bit the bullett & went back to school & am working 2 jobs......I don't have time to read anything fun anymore......Although when I can I am still sneaking in a few pages at a time from the Vampire Academy, almost done with book 4, only 2 more to go.
Book by author Phil Cooke. Non-fiction, business and life philosophy. Great book how to break bad habits, let go of baggage and organize to achieve your goals. Very practical, real advice. Not a get rich quick thing or "give us 20 minutes and you will rule the universe". In a nutshell, it's get off your keister and get moving, and take responsibility.

I love Ursula Hegi, especially Stones From the River, but didn't care for Salt Dancers.
I'm only 30 pages into this beautifully written memoir and already this amazing author's accounting of her early life has me hooked. (I'm not a willing participant, given all I've got going right now, and still I find myself having to sit down and read just a few more pages....)
I didn't even know that slaves were freed from America in 1820!
I will add to this once I've finished, but I am so excited about it that I just had to share.
Have a beautiful day, starting now, everyone.
I will have to give this one a look. I am fascinated with that time period and the issue of slavery, abolition and the Undergound Railroad.
I just started," The girl with the dragon tatoo". I don't usually read crime books but there was so much buzz about this one I thought I had better check it out. I'm about 60 pages in and it's kept my attention so far.
