APRIL BOOK CLUB


Last night was the one year anniversary of Book Club (yay!) I enjoy getting together with other women and having great discussions! For April we read The Help which I think is a must read for all! The story made me laugh, it made me cry and it made me think. How could humans be so cruel to other humans simply because their skin is a different color? What was wrong with them? There are so many great quotes from this story, but here are some of my favorites:

  • "Wasn't that the point of the book? For women to realize, we are just two people. Not that much separates us. Not nearly as much as I'd thought."
  • "You is kind. You is smart. You is important."
  • "Ever morning, until you are dead in the ground, you gone have to make this decision. You gone have to ask yourself, "Am I gone believe what them fools say about me today?"
  • "Ugly live up on the inside. Ugly be a hurtful, mean person. Is you one a them peoples?"
Next month's book: The Hunger Games

MARCH BOOK CLUB

Sorry I'm being a blog slacker. For our March book club we read the Wednesday Sisters. It's a story that takes place in the 60's and 70's and is about friendship, trials and following your dreams. Some of us agreed that we didn't love the book but it was a great one to discuss. We covered so many topics. We had a great turn out and can't wait to read this months's book, The Help.
