The Help

I haven't really been in the blogging mood lately thus I haven't blogged much. We have had a lot going on in our next of the woods, but nothing I want to share yet as it is not final, so more on that once we are 100% sure everything is going to work out. We have Claire's birthday this weekend, so I will blog about that next week and share some pictures, I can't believe my baby is turning 5!!

One thing I did want to share with all of you is a book that I read a few weeks ago that is absolutely wonderful. It is called "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett and is one of the best books I have read in awhile. I have never been much of a reader, when I was younger I HATED to read and it hasn't been until the last 2 years or so that I have really started to enjoy it. I truly believe it is because it takes me to another place and is a way for me to escape everything that I deal with on an everyday basis. I usually read more books that are in the genre of Fantasy, Harry Potter, Twilight etc, however, "The Help" is far from Fantasy, it is more Literary Fiction or Historical Fiction. I loved reading about the three main women in the book and their individual stories. If you are looking for a good book to read, pick this one up I promise you, you will not be disappointed! Have any of you read this book, what did you think of it?

A few months back I talked about The House of Night Series. That is a great series and I was bummed when I was finished reading the first 6 books in it. Well the 7th book "Burned" is out now so I just starting reading that one last night. I will let you know what I think of it once I am finished. What are some books that you all have read lately and enjoyed?

I am off to bake a birthday cake for tomorrow and make 3 appetizers! Ta-Ta!
