Bookclub-In-a-Box Discusses the Help, by Kathryn Stockett
Bookclub-In-a-Box Discusses the Help, by Kathryn Stockett: The Complete Guide for Readers and Leaders | Marilyn Herbert, Rona Arato
6 posts
It's 1962 in Jackson, Mississippi, and Skeeter has just graduated from Ole Miss. At a time and place where the ideal white woman is petite with carefully groomed straight hair and even more carefully groomed manners, Skeeter is tall and outspoken, with curly hair. Her mother wants Skeeter to wed; Skeeter wants to be a journalist. With the help of two of the town's black maids, Skeeter sets out to write a book telling the maids' stories from their point of view. But in Jackson, where a black boy is blinded for accidentally using a whites-only bathroom, and Civil Rights activist Medgar Evers is shot in his driveway in front of his children, this is a dangerous undertaking. Every Bookclub-in-a-Box discussion guide includes complete coverage of the themes and symbols, writing style and interesting background information on the novel and the author.

Does anyone use this app to organise their BookClub? I‘m thinking of trying to add a little organisation and structure to one of my clubs ( although the phrase ‘ herding cats‘ springs to mind! ) We currently use WhatsApp but it‘d be good to have a place to store all our past book info...any thoughts?

riversong153 Is this only for iPhone? 6y
mcipher Never heard of it but it sounds really cool!! 6y
minkyb Don‘t know it but why not try! 6y

My Bookclub on the way to see one of our Ladies in a play last night. The same lady played a dotty excellent character.. at one point she couldn‘t find her book. Her stage husband asked “ what‘s it called ? “ she replied
“ Far From The Madding Crowd... “ ( our book this month) we seriously cracked up in the audience 😂 the rest of the audience thought we were mad ! Great craic of a night. We travelled in one members camper van Girls on tour 🍷

batsy Fun! That's cute about the #FFTheMaddingCrowd mention 😉 6y
Cathythoughts @batsy it was so funny ... we were hysterical with laughter. And our actress kept a straight face & remained totally in character... it was a really funny play about robbing a bank. 👍🏻❤️ 6y
