I'm sure you've heard of this book and probably a lot of you have read it. But if not - please go pick it up! And if you have a long commute, I highly recommend getting it for your ipod. The character readings are perfect.
And I just did a little googling and it seems they are making a movie! Of course it won't be as good as the book, but it looks like it will be a good one.
Happy Friday! My grandma is in town so I'll be having some great family time, and I'll try to keep my headphones off :)
You just made my day with the news that this is going to be a movie!
ReplyDeleteThis is by far the best book I have read in a long time. I finished it a couple months ago, and I long for more news about Miss Skeeter and Abileen!
I have this one on hold for me at the library. I have heard great things about it!
ReplyDeleteI second this recommendation. Such a great read (it's pretty long and only took me 3 days to read... it's that much of a page-turner). Had no idea about the movie, and I'm not sure how I feel about that, but I'm sure I'll still watch it :)
ReplyDeleteI love audio books! In fact, I canceled my Sirius subscription because I've been listening to so many books. I've heard great things about The Help, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLOVED IT! I finished it in 2 days! I should probably listen to it as well...can't get enough!
ReplyDeleteBest. Book. EVER.
ReplyDeleteI've heard this is a wonderful book and can't wait to read it. I also have to recommend "Same Kind of Different As Me" about a wealthy man and a homeless man/modern-day slave becoming friends. It's excellent!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great book! I just recently finished it.
ReplyDeleteIf you like that, read Little Bee next, I'm reading it right now and its great!
That book is really, really, really good.
ReplyDeleteI, too, like to listen to books. They are great if you have several hours in the car. The other times I think are terrific to listen are when I'm painting a room. Listening to a good book makes painting seem like less work.
I hate to burst your bubble, but in a lot of states it's against the law to drive with headphones, hopefully you are able to hook your iphone up to the car speakers when you are driving.
ReplyDeleteI read this and loved it. Just loaned it to my friend for her to read, and she's loving it too. I think it will translate very well into a film.
ReplyDeleteLOVED this book. I couldnt put it down.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm dumb. How do I download books and listen to them on my iphone? Is that a special app? I have a long drive every couple of weeks and would love to listen to a book instead of music!
ReplyDeleteThis book will be the most amazing movie! Thanks for the heads up... I just loooooved this book.
ReplyDeleteI got this for my birthday, and I have been trying to force myself to finish the library book that I'm in the middle of before I start this one. We'll see!
ReplyDeleteI just finished that book the other day. I was up half the night since i couldn't put it down! now i'm earerly awaiting the movie! I love the cast so far!
ReplyDeleteI love audio books. I rent them out at the library and listen on my long commute to work. I'll have to add this one to my list!
ReplyDeleteLauren
Agreed, I just finished this book yesterday. Its one of the best books I read this year.
ReplyDeleteI just read this on vacation and I literally could NOT put it down!
ReplyDeleteI had just put this on hold at the library before I read your post! Also, just an fyi... I once got a ticket for wearing headphones in the car- who knew it's illegal?!
ReplyDeleteI just finudged The Help and I looooved! Thanks for breaking the news for me that it's coming out as a movie!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite books. I ate it up in 3 days!
ReplyDeleteI seriously must read this book!! I have heard so much about it! Got to get to the book store!
ReplyDeleteLoved this book!
ReplyDeleteThat's weird - I just started reading it. I think we both read the Twilight book at the same time, too. Say hi to Jo - wish we were there....Mom
ReplyDeleteOne of the best books I've ever read. I loved Abileen. Can't wait to see the movie. I wonder who they'll cast for Minny?
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out that book, thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteBTW-- in most states it's illegal to listen use headphones while driving, you should probably look in to a FM transmitter for your iPod. :)
You are the second person in 10 minutes to recommend this book. Looks like I'm off to make a purchase.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteBy next week it's here too! ;)

LOVED this book. I couldnt put it down.
