I could swear that I read The Help before, but I picked it up last night, and it doesn't seem like I did read it. So, I'm reading The Help.

Just starting "The Night Circus" and I like it so far.
Honeychile, "The Help" is great; I really enjoyed it!

Ditto on both of these. The Night Circus is really unique. The author has a fantastic imagination!
I've been reading a fun mystery series by Rhys Bowen, called Her Royal Spyness mysteries. They're about a penniless daughter of a Duke in the early 1930s who solves mysteries along with her equally penniless aristocratic boyfriend. They're well-written...funny, some romance, interesting plots. The 6th one is out now and is very good.

Gilead by Marilynne Robinson. This theology class is great!

KR, I finished The Help in almost record time - it was excellent! I'm now trying to decide what fiction I'm going to read next (although I hate to call The Help fiction, it's so true to life).

I just finished "The Elite" (Selection Series). I've liked the series so far. Now, I'm trying VERY hard not to start a new book so that I have time to get everything put together for a big event I'm working this weekend. IT'S KILLING ME! I even bought my husband the Spanish version of City of Bones (Mortal Instruments series) last night so that I can live vicariously through his reading. I think I need help. And I hug. I really need a hug.

The Kingmaker's Daughter by Phillipa Gregory and some Diana Gabaldon book that is TERRIBLE.

just finished The Known World by Edward P. Jones, and this evening will probably wrap up Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northrop.
Next book is Ghana Must Go by Taiye Selasi.

I am reading Tana French's Faithful Place. She writes a series called the Dublin Mysteries. The first was In the Woods. Each series has a different member of the Dublin Police Department as the lead character. I am loving Faithful Place.
