Book Club Tuesday - The Help, A Million Little Pieces & Keeping Faith

The Help is such a wonderful book. One of my new top favorites! I literally could not put it down (love those books). It is a wonderful story that takes place during the time of Martin Luther King Jr., Rose Parks, etc. The author does such a beautiful job of describing the emotions of the characters and really makes you feel like to have experienced this period of time.

A long time on my list to read, the controversial book from about 2006. Apparently the author who intially claimed this book to be a memior of his life, embellished some parts of the story (from my 5 minute research, it was mostly the details of his criminal history... he made it sound like he was naughtier than he really was). Nevertheless, this is a great story about a man who was as low as a person could go and despite what everyone may have thought... he got through it.

Ok, this book is quite tricky... I made it about halfway before I gave up. It is a story about religion and a young girl who people think speaks to God. For me, it was a little too cheesy. I am a spiritual person, and believe that everyone can speak to God in the own way and I also believe that God communicates with everyone as well. I don't know exactly what it was, but I just couldn't turn another page... onto the next!
