I've just bought this book and spend all my spare time reading! I'm a slow reader and it's over 500 pages long! I'm really enjoying it and looking forward to seeing the movie when it comes out next week!I was raised in the South
Yes, I'm a member of the GRITS club!
Let me tell you I never knew of anything like this going on when I was growing up in the 50s in north AL! Of course I didn't know any wealthy people with maids then either!
Have you read the book? Did you like it? Will you see the movie?Well, excuse me please, I have a date with a rocker and a book!
See you soon!I have plans for a new blog post that will appear soon. It's more of a personal post, but will have lots of decorating pictures of our house! I hope you will return in a few days to see it!
Let me know if you have read the book and what you think!
P.S. - If you are looking for a tablescape, scroll down if you didn't see the one I posted last week!

ARGHHHH! Me too! I got the book over the weekend, and I could not put the thing down until I finished. I actually stayed up so late the other night that I had a headache the next day.
I'm planning to go to the movie when it comes out. I don't go to a lot of movies, but I'm going to this one.
This is a highly "discussable" book.
I read the book, Katherine, and I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to see the movie either....Christine
Adored the book! My friend recommended it and I couldn't put it down. I become MIA also when I get a good book! It is kind of fun now that the kids are grown - not so good when they were little!
I enjoyed the book, too. I look forward to the movie. Will look for your retrn. Cherry Kay
I know exactly what you are talking about Katherine. I could not put that book down!! Going to see the movie. Had no idea it was to be a movie when I read the book a couple of months ago. I am thinking of doing a review of the book.
I bought the large print because I was overdue for a much needed eye exam. I had my appt. yesterday and ordered new glasses. Now, maybe I can go back to regular print.:-) I think I would have still been reading The Help had I not had the large print.
I'm reading it too -- about half way through -- would love to see the movie when it comes out...after I finish the book (it may be "on demand" by then though.
I've heard about the movie but I have not read the book.
Looks interesting.
Enjoy your reading!
Katherine, I just finished the book last week! It was very well written. Mind boggling to a Yankee, though!
I did read this book and hope to see the movie. It's definitely one that will capture your attention and hard to put down. Enjoy!
I am beginning my art house project for August and thought on you on this one. You will have to visit later in the month to see what it is.
I have not read this book. I am an avid reader and have already read 11 books so far this year and currently on my 12. The first 10 are listed on the sidebar of my blog. I have been a reader all my life and love it and cannot imagine a world without books!!!!
I've been wanting to read this book for a while. Maybe I'll see the movie first and that way I won't be disappointed when they leave out my favorite parts in the book.
Your burgundy and green tablescape is really pretty.
I will read it, but I don't know about the movie. They never live up to my expectations!
I've seen the movie ads but haven't read the book. Perhaps I should read it soon! One problem: the stack of books waiting to be read is growing, not going down. It sounds like a good book and I think the movie will be good, too.

P.S. - I started reading blogs from the bottom of my list so you were first! I should see if I can get my list to come up in random order instead of alphabetical so you would have a chance to move to the top, my friend! You're still tops with me!
