My friend Daci had the wonderful idea of starting a book/movie club this month. We started with the book The Help. Lucky for me it was my travel book throughout my trip to Turkey and I have been dying to talk about it! Eight of us met at the theatre for the opening night of the film, during which I laughed and cried. Afterwards, we ate Strawns fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, and chocolate pie and shared our thoughts. I know it is cliché, but the movie is never as good as the book. We had a great discussion about the differences between the movie and the book, the 1960s and today, and which characters were our favorite.
Check out Daci's review here. She cracks me up.
Have you seen or read it yet? What did you think?

I can't wait to do it again. I'm now on a mission to find the best soul food in Shreveport, because honestly, Strawn's didn't really do it for me! Any suggestions?
And while I would love to take all the credit, Laura convinced me a) to listen to the book and b) that no one would laugh at us if we suggested a book club :)
I would also like to request that you come in character (Accidentally or not) for each book. Which makes me really want to do Water for Elephants because you would make the cutest circus elephant trainer!
I loved the book! The characters in the movie did not look at all how I envisioned! I did enjoy the movie though!
