Ballet Montana Book Club
I’m enjoying getting to know my fellow dancers, and was especially excited when I found out that ALL of the other ladies are avid readers. Already, I had tucked The Help into my carry on, intending on kicking off my summer reading with it . . . only to find that several of the other female dancers were reading it as well.
Kathryn Stockett's The Help - a must read!
Now, I have them all hooked on The Hunger Games : ) I love how books bring people together.
Suzanne Collins 1st book in The Hunger Games Triology

I’ve heard ‘the help’ is great… need to read it before the movie is out!
“The Help” is next on my list! I’ll try to get through it before you get back.
“The Help” is on my shelf, I believe I received it for Christmas last year. But I have avoided it because I heard this segment on NPR and it really turned me off: http://www.npr.org/2011/02/24/134031233/Former-Maid-Sues-Author-For-False-Portrayal
Thoughts on this from those who have read it?
So interesting. I’m almost done with the book . . . I’ll wait to finish it before I read this article.
movie is causing controversy too! http://feministing.com/2011/08/11/professor-melissa-harris-perry-calls-the-help-movie-ahistorical-and-deeply-troubling/
