I hope to finish THE HELP this month. I just got FINGERSMITH, but I think that I will have to read THE LITTLE STRANGER first for Twenty Minute book club.

You read more than any person I know...probably any person on earth! (I just got Fingersmith on my Kindle, and I'm going to read it for a challenge next year. Love Sarah Waters!)
