I just finish listening to the audiobook of Gone with the Wind. Good god that book is long! I have to admit I hated Scarlett. Well to be honest the only character I really liked was Melanie. I am extremely proud that I read it. I do love the era it was written about. I do think it had too many climaxes, I got bored. The ending was fitting for Scarlett's character but I still didn't like it. I am glad I read it and I encourage everyone to read it at least once, but I won't be buying a copy. Thanks and happy reading!

The Help
Author: Kathryn Stockett
Genre: fiction
This book got very popular. I heard about it on a TV commercial! Of all places to hear about a book I thought it was crazy, but I decided to read the book. I am so glad I did. It turned out to be on my top 5 list after I finished it. I love how strong the main characters are. I am always interested in strong female characters. I also LOVE how Ms. Stockett chose a time and point of view in history that is often ignored. The story pulls you in from the very first page. I really hope to see more from Ms. Stockett. The Help found a permanent home on my bookshelf I know this will be a book I read over and over.
