I just finished reading "The Help" written by Kathryn Stockett.

It is fiction and about African American Women Domestics, telling their story to a middle class white woman. It takes place in Mississippi in the 1960s during the time of the Civil Rights movement.

I rarely read fiction but I could not put this book down. I grew up during this era in Southern California and played with the children of African American women domestics that abandoned the South and moved to California to make a better life for their children. We all lived in the projects. IMO, this book sounds pretty realistic.

Greyson, I could heart their voices and totally enjoyed this book. I know I will read it again. If anyone has a Color Nook and would be interested in reading I will see if this book has the share option as I don't mind sharing it with others.

Recently I've read Lost Voices by Sarah Porter. It's a dark YA fantasy about a girl who becomes a mermaid.

I'm also reading Clash of Kings by George R. R. Donaldson. It's the 2nd in his A Song Of Ice And Fire trilogy which is being produced by HBO as Game Of Thrones. Totally engrossing. Not your average sword/sorcery fantasy. Donaldson has NO problem killing off popular characters.
