I've got The Help on my shelf which I keep meaning to read. This will be a good excuse to do so.

I actually decided to listen to The Help on audiobook and it was excellent. Definitely recommend it, especially in that format.

I read "A Spark of Light" by Jodi Picoult. I didn't want to put it down.
