What started as a simple dream one night became one of America’s favorite books. Meyer writes the tale of Bella Swan, an ordinary teenage girl trying to survive high school. But her ordinary world is soon turned upside down when she meets Edward Cullen. Edward is everything any girl would want; beautiful, pale, protective, strong, chivalrous and kind. But there is one hitch, Edward is a vampire!
This book follows the life of Bella as she struggles to make sense of her now completely crazy life and her crazy love for Edward. And she soon discovers that being in love with a vampire has its dangers. I loved this book and can say I was obsessed with it for months after I read it. I encourage everyone looking for a great modern romance to try this one out.

This is a rich and complex story about the relationships that existed between African American domestics and their white employers as the young civil rights movement develops in Jackson, MS and across the nation. These relationships are examined from both sides – white and black – through two main characters, Skeeter and Abialine. Skeeter, a young white woman raised and deeply loved by a black domestic Constantine, is determined to become a writer. During a bridge club meeting, she learns that Abialine’s son (now dead) began writing a manuscript describing the relationship between black men and their employers in the Deep South. This triggered an idea to do a similar work, only about women. Abialine and Skeeter begin the journey of writing “Help” against the back drop of the civil rights movement.
The irony is that the plot mirrors the narrative. The women in The Help live the relationships as they secretively write the manuscript about these relationships for Harper & Row. We are reading their manuscript with more characters added – husbands, children, doctors, and colorful politicians.
All the characters are beautifully developed. The antagonist Hilly, is completely believable and recognizable – we all have known a Hilly. My favorite character is Minnie. She is tough, honest, untrusting of whites, and ultimately self-sacrificing.
Give yourself a treat, read The Help.

This was my 2nd purchase of this product, this time as a gift to my Dad. He preferred this to the window-stick-attacher for the Garmin and we have used it for long and short car rides, traffic, bumpy roads, hills, you name it and it’s the most reliable, comfortable and easily used friction mount out there. Highly recommend it. We hide it just under our seats when we park and drop the Garmin a corner to make it invisibile to the passing eye.

I bought this book for my daughter and she loves it. It has a lot of good information for her and helpful tips about how to handle a variety of situations that young girls encounter upon entering middle school. It is written well and has great illustrations. A must have for young girls.

This is an amazing kitchen tool. I have used it mainly for chopping bell peppers, onions and others veggies. Amazingly quick and easy to clean up. Love it.

I ordered four of these tubes to try out. Two of them were defective — the valves stuck. One of them spewed green slime all over the place. I’ll never buy another one again.

I’ve always trusted Cuisinart for superior products. This is the worst stick blender I’ve ever purchased. The locking mechanism broke the second time i used it. It is poorly designed and difficult to switch from the blender part to the chopper, as the button used to unlock the parts is small and difficult to push in.
