The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides. Such a good book and movie!

I read this book but I never made it online for the live blog.

In terms of Minny's pie to Miss Hilly Holbrook I would say that she wasn't wrong to seek revenge. This woman spread malicious lies for her own benefit stopping Minny from finding other employment when she had a family to support.

My favourite part of the book. Although I do like the part where Abelene was gifted the signed book as recognition of her risk. My favourite part is when Abbe steps up to Hilly when she's threatening her with prison for supposedly stealing her silver. It's like they've realised theres nothing to be scared of no more and that they can fight back and win!

My least favourite part of the book is the social outcasting of Skeeter. I really hate bullying and I feel that all the girls were scared of what Hilly might say if they disobey her. For example Elizabeth trying to get rid of Skeeter before the bridge club arrive.

All in all I loved the book, I think its well written and can really open your eyes to how the segregation of white & coloured people were affected in life and friendships formed.

Can't wait to see which book you choose next.

hey lauren! what if we read a non-fiction book, like 168 hours, the whole book is about time management, and i think it would be fitting since everyone has such busy schedules these days :-)

I missed this book so didnt get to read it but I'm looking foward to the next book. Does anyone know when LC will be saying what the next book is? 

Can't wait to join you for the next book.. When will you start?

The Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

Flowers in the attic!! :)

I also agree that Perfect Chemistry should DEFINITELY be a next book club book, I read the whole thing in a matter of like 2 days!
