help.

i should have known that as soon i wrote my i'm on a roll post, that i would get stuck in a reading rut. i wrote that post june 1 and didn't finish run with the horsemen until almost the end of july.
but! let it not be a discouragement.. i think i'm back on the track.
i just finished kathryn stockett's the help and man. oh. man. is it everything it was cracked up to be. i was 100% charmed from the beginning and laughed out loud so many times.. sometimes loud enough to get shushed by my husband. fortunately for him, he didn't have to endure it long, since it took me no time to finish. i could hardly put that book down. and when i had put it down, i was constantly itching to pick it back up. i wished it could go on forever.

as with any good book that comes to an end, i was left with a feeling of emptiness coupled with a feeling of urgency to pick up something else. so i turn to travis for a suggestion, and i went with it. what's next on the list? ender's game. i've heard him talk about it for so long, most recently with andrea, as she's borrowed a few from the series from him, that it's probably a perfect choice. something different that i probably should have read a while ago. we'll see!
