I was thinking this book came from GoodReads but then looked at my list (too late) and saw that I got it from LibraryThing so I changed it. I don't win much from GoodReads but once in a while I get lucky. No secret at all.<br /><br />Kathy, I have a hard time reading or even thinking about the old prejudices but they certainly were prominent during my childhood. Even members of my own family were bigots and that was very hard for me to understand. I had the same problem with The Help - but as you say, this is accurate.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179027379034179865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331783333799799045.post-56569474005958157262012-05-13T23:19:48.166-04:002012-05-13T23:19:48.166-04:00Okay, did I leave a comment before and say Goodrea...Okay, did I leave a comment before and say Goodreads instead of LibraryThing? Because I need to know if I should be checking myself into a nursing home! I sure do feel like it some days! :--)rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331783333799799045.post-31528298292252191312012-05-13T13:12:58.303-04:002012-05-13T13:12:58.303-04:00The views back then were pretty disgusting but the...The views back then were pretty disgusting but the book wouldn't be very accurate if it didn't reflect them.

I have never ever won, and also, about 8 gazillion trillion people usually enter for each book. What's your secret?!!!<br /><br />I get tired of all the books that have to go back and forth in time. I find it confusing also, and even sort of alienating!rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.com
