Even bestsellers can be too good not to mention!


Lots of people have discovered this novel about Mississippi in 1963 already, but if you haven't put it on your hold list yet, I encourage you to do so: The Help. Told from the alternating perspectives of a young white woman and two older black housekeepers ("maids"), the historical perspective, the great characterizations, and the "what will happen next?" plot make this an unforgettable read. --Liz
