Book Review: Where We Belong

I just finished reading Emily Griffin's book Where We Belong. This book is really great and is a fast read. The book goes between two characters, Marian and Kirby. Marian has a secret that she has kept for the last 18 years. She has not told a sole except for her Mother who does not talk about the subject with her or bring it up all that often. To learn what the subject is you should check out Emily Griffin's newest book. I give this book five stars.

Book reviews

I just finished reading two books by Nicholas Sparks that were meant to be read together. I started with At First Sight and then went on to True Believer. Both books are great and I highly recommend them. The thing I enjoyed the most was having the same characters in both books. The first book At First Sight follows a man named Jeramy Marsh who is a writer that writes columns for Scientific American. He does a lot of research on different topics. He oils brought to Boone Creek, North Carolina to work on a story. As Jeremy is there he meets Lexie the town librarian and falls for her fast in the week he spends working on his story on a small town that could or could not have ghosts. the second book, True believer follows Lexi and Jeremy as they fall more in love with each other and decided to get married. The rest of the book follows them in their adventure in life from being married to having children. To find out more about this but I highly recommend that you start with At First Sight followed by True believer to truly see what happeneds to Jeremy and Lexi and all of ther family and friends. Both books are hard to put down once you start them. I loved both of them as I have loved all of the Nicholas Sparks books I have read.

Book Review- The Help

Well, to get ready to watch the movie The Help, I first read the book. This book is one that I highly recommend. I give this book five out of five stars. I really enjoyed it. The book had more of a real life feel to it. Also, it had a real life ending, not one of those everything is a happy ending.

In the book, The Help it starts out with one person's view of what is going on in life during the 1960's in Jackson, Mississippi. This book as the title suggests, tells the story of the help of the 1960's in the words of the maids that would raise the white children, while their mother's tend to their own lives. The book examines the lives of the white women through the eyes of the help, the women tell their stories to Skeeter. Skeeter is a graduate of Old Miss, who wants nothing more than a to be a writer. She starts out with an idea to write about something new that has not been written about before. So, to hear the stories of the help, please check out this book. I promise it is a fast read and not a let down.
