Week 2: Part 1

We are up to 126 books read and we have 109 people signed up! Be on the lookout for our first set of prizes coming soon.
We have so many reviews that i will break them up this week.

On "The Help" by Katherine Stockett:
Excellent, thought provoking
On "Trunk Music" by Michael Connelly:
Good- but not so good as Connolly's "Lincoln Lawyer"
On "Julie and Julia" by Julie Powell:
The movie is better than this book. I recommend you read "My Life in France" by Julia Child, excellent read.
On "The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane" by Katherine Rowe:
Interesting take on the Salem witch burnings- a little romance, a little mystery too.
On "The Boy Who Dared" by Susan Campbell Bartoletti:
If you don't like sad endings, don't read this book.
On "Chicken Soup for the College Soul" by Jack Canfield:
Very helpful stories for both the recently graduated high school senior and current college student. A quick, easy and thoughtful read that does not have to be read in the order the chapters are arranged.
On "Worst Case" by James Patterson:
Not one of Patterson's best but an ok read.
Stay tuned-and remember to Catch the Reading Wave
