pickMy original book club kicked off with this one back in 2010, and my newer book club selected it for this April. It‘s been 14 years since I read this, & I still found it to be an emotionally captivating story. I listened to the truly excellent audio performances this time around & I found myself listening at every chance, even though I remembered the story quite well. Reception to this one has since shifted so I‘m looking forward to discussing it!
pickSo good! Very hard to read at times, but so so good.
Book 1 - Done ✅

pickA bit late in finishing for last months #tbrtarot. Absolutely brilliant on audio, all of the narrators did an amazing job. I can see why this is a bestseller as it‘s just really good storytelling in terms of plot and characters! It did drag on a tiny bit for me, I felt like it could have been shorter. Loved Celia! Lots of funny and touching moments. Not a must-read sort of book but a really enjoyable one.
pickI loved this inspiring, humorous and heartwarming story that also let me learn more about the civil rights movement in the US. I'm glad to have read it for #BlackHistoryMonth, which we also observe here in Canada.
Third book finished for #FabulousFebruary @Andrew65, and my #BookSpin choice for this month. #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
pickThe audio production of this book was wonderful and probably the only reason why I finished this book and am considering it a light pick. Something about a white woman (who got sued for using a maid‘s likeness in the book) writing as Black women just felt off to me. This was very much a white centered story when it had true potential to not be.
Almost finished with my cross stitch gift for my grandma! #audiostitching #litsycrafters
I finished this Xmas present for my mom a few days ago. A colorful crab for a Cancer. Now on to a bouquet of pansies for my grandma. #litsycrafters #audiostitching
I‘ve been listening to The Help while stitching and packing. It was my #doublespin from way back in January, so hoping to finally finish it this month. It‘s very long, but the audio production is 👌
