What should I read next?

Oh My Gosh! I just looked at Jenners of Find Your Next Book Here, on the blog Lost in Books. This blogger has read some of my all time favorite books: The Help by Kathryn Stockett, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson, and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows.

Maybe I should go check out the other two books on this blogger's reading list: The Host by Stephenie Meyer and The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein.

Next month our book club members will not select and read the same book. We'll read whatever we want and discuss our book choices at the meeting.

Someone in our club wants to read, True Memoirs of Little K. Little K is supposed to be a Russian ballerina and the mistress of the last Tsar. The other members have not yet decided what they want to read.

Authors, Books and Stuff

Here is something interesting that took place last week, April 22: Authors by day and Rockers by night. This must have been really fun.

Here is an interesting book-related link from Book Think.

On the recommendation of my friend Marcia, who lives in Atlanta, Georgia, I am now reading, The Help, by Kathryn Stockett who also lives in Atlanta, Georgia. It's described as Stockett's stunning debut. Setting is 1960s in Mississippi. Although I have not read very much yet, I already like the characters Aibileen and her friend Minny, both African American helpers in white households. It is promoted on amazon as, "Three ordinary women about to take one extraordinary step". I am eager to read about all three women and find out what extraordinary step they take.
