Hi everyone Im not sure if i posted yet in here or not. I may have and it might have been a while. I am just now catching up on the selections. I have to say I saw the movie the help and if you havent seen it you should go because it's a really good movie and has won a few awards so far(I'm an awards show fanatic sorry) I do plan on picking up the immortal life of henrietta lacks. It seems to have a few holds on it so in the mean time I plan on reading the rob lowe book since i picked that up. Hope to get to share my reading stories and selections. I have a few books i am reading at one time at a pace of course :) There's just so many good books out there and I am a bookworm. Sorry for rambling.
