I loved the coverage of the best selling novel and soon-to-be-released movie, The Help, on 20/20 yesterday. See clip here. Imagine Kathryn Stockett's manuscript was rejected 60 times. Reminded me of Steve Berry who had his first book rejected over 80 times before it finally attracted the attention of a publisher. Each of these two writers persisted and made his/her manuscript better and better. There is a lesson right there.
The Help of course was one of our book club's favorite picks. The movie is to be released early August.
This blog is for book lovers. Initially this blog focused on the books selected by members of the Okefenokee Book Club who used to meet in Waycross, Georgia. Now, it is about my reading interests. I will also continue to post any interesting information related to writers, libraries, and book clubs in general.
