My Summer Goal

I haven't had the time or put forth the effort to read a book for myself since I finished the Twilight Saga sometime in 2009. Ridiculous, I know.

So, my goal for the summer is to read one book from cover to cover that:
A.) Doesn't have cardboard pages
B.) Doesn't have rhyming phrases
C.) Doesn't have buttons that make sounds that correspond with the story
D.) Does have more than 300 pages

One afternoon a couple of weeks ago, I escaped to a movie and saw a preview for the movie The Help. One of the characters in the story is a Mississippi girl who graduated from Ole Miss which seemed somewhat relatable although the story takes place in the 1960s.

I'm only a couple of chapters in and I'm already enjoying the escape it gives me from my everyday life.

I really should try to read more.

Natalie, this is an AWESOME book! Let me know how you like it! The author is from Jackson, and she came to speak at an event for us this past spring. She was AMAZING! What a talented woman and so down to earth! Hope you're still enjoying it lots!
