Donna, I loved both the book and the movie of The Help.

I am reading If You Could See Me Now but Cecelia Ahern and it is excellent.
I am also reading Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

I'm reading "Heaven is For Real" by Burpo about his little boy's experience when he was very ill and not even 4 years old yet. I found it at a used book sale at the mall.

The Help and Heaven is for Real were my two favorite books that I read last year.

You can never go wrong with Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series either. The movie version of One for the Money is suppose to be released Jan. 27---Can't wait to see it.

I am reading a weird mix of things right now. I just finished a non-fiction book, Strength in What Remains by Tracy Kidder. Excellent book about rising out of adversity. It is the All Iowa Reads book for 2012. Our State choose a book each year and encourages book discussion groups to read it and discuss it. My local group will be discussing it in February.

I am also reading the series The Dresden Files written by Jim Butcher. I am on book 3 right now. They are a bit weird as Harry Dresden, the main character, is a wizard. Kind of a Harry Potter for grown-ups.

On my stack to start on:
Christmas at Timberwoods by Fern Michaels
These Hidden Things by Heather Gudenkauf

Like I said a weird mix of books.
