Book Club Friday

Linking up with Megan at A day in the life..... for Book Club Friday, i have not linked up for a couple of weeks, i have been busy and time got away from me.

Here is what Barnes and Noble had to say about the book :)

"Be prepared to meet three unforgettable women: Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone. Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken. Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue, so she's lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own. Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed. In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement... ."

I wanted to get this book read before the movie comes out this fall! I am hoping to get some of it read tonight as i will not be going outside, we are in a EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING! YUCK! So i will be staying inside snuggling with my dog and reading until the weather is a bit more tolerable :)

Can't wait to see what you are reading!

Until next time,
