The Help

Last night, Adam was working late in the ER and so I began a new book, The Help. I love it so far and I highly recommend it. It's about Mississippi in the 60's and follows the stories of three women (2 black maids and 1 white Ole Miss grad) as they narrate a sort of social awakening. So far, it's an amazing book and so well-written.

Somehow I never had to read it for any english class but I finished Wuthering Heights on our vacation and, I'm sorry, but I hated it. I was so happy when that book was finished and the repulsive characters done with. Sue me.

Lastly, I don't know what I will do once the winter comes. At home, Henry is literally climbing the walls (well, the furniture anyway...it's a constant battle) and today I walked in and he was on top of the piano. Our go-to move is playing outside, which I thoroughly enjoy and keeps him happy and me sane. I will miss the freedom to run off to the playground once winter comes so I am soaking up ever second of warmth! Thank you, Lord, for summer.
