The rules are simple: every month we're picking a different book to read. There does not exist a magical calendar where we've decided what to read, as many of our major life decision happen on a whim. Each of us has our own copy of the book, we'll read at our leisure, report back about half way through and then take a more in-depth look at the end of each book. Questions? Shoot us a message!
LBF Book Club: January 2012 Edition
1. What are we reading? The Help by Kathryn Stockett
2. First thought
D: It's been out for a while, but it didn't take long for it to hit the top seller list. Working at the library, it's pretty easy for me to see "what's hot" and this definitely fit the bill.
K: I kept hearing about the book, and then the movie. I assumed it was probably a self help book to enable everyone to change the world. I usually wait a really long time to read Bestsellers, go in with all sorts of strange ideas and end up being completely wrong.
3. Why are you reading this book?
D: It's all the rage! (Well, it was about 6 months ago...but better late than never.) AND I want to see the movie...must read the book before watching the movie!
K: Once I found out it was fiction, and not another be-the-best-you-can-be book, I was on board. Dana suggested it and she has a knack for these things. Besides, the cover is cute.
See you at the half way point! (Except Dana...with any luck I'll see her next weekend!)
It's a fabulous read and a great movie. I like both of them, for different reasons. I won't re-read, but I'm looking forward to your discussion. :)
