I’m a bit behind on our book club, but I recently hosted back in April, and we discussed The Help. I had fun trying to keep with a Southern theme for food (thanks to Kim last month going with the French theme from Sarah’s Key). I made Harvest Chicken, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, mac-n-cheese, as well as a delicious Chocolate Pie. For those that have read (or seen the move) The Help, you will know the significance behind the chocolate pie. I have to give credit to a few places where I picked up some of my sides: Jack’s Urban Eats for the mashed potatoes and mac-n-cheese and Sweet Cakes by Rebecca for the BEST EVER chocolate pie.
Kathy and I listened to this book on Audible (before seeing the movie) and I loved that it had multiple readers. It made the story come to life. Some may think that listening (rather than reading) is cheating…but I LOVE AUDIBLE. I’m in the car at least an hour a day at least, or it motivates me to walk when I’m reading a good book. I highly recommend Audible.
Kathryn Stockett creates extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes how women view one another. It makes one (who grew up in this timeframe) wonder what we’d have done in their time frame. I really enjoyed reading (aka listening) to this book.
