[...] :: Reading Research – First, I purchased the book, The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland. Great book! It made me laugh and it gave me a much-needed reality check about how to maximize our day at the park and set realistic expectations for Disney with kids. I highly recommend it. Read my more in-depth review for more ideas. [...]

I thought that My Life in France was interesting, but Julia Child’s relationship with her father made me sad.

Have you read Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford? I preferred it to The Guernsey … Society. Both are set during WWII.

I really enjoyed your Disneyland post. I live about 20 minutes away and haven’t been inside the park in a long time, although I visit Downtown Disney a few times a year.

You are going to love My Life in France! Esp since you have actually been there. It made me want to drop everything and go back in time to Paris in the 50s! Ha!

I’m putting the $5 Dinners Cookbook on my birthday list! I’m fresh out of dinner ideas and would love to cut back on grocery spending! I agree with the others, my book list has been expanding after reading these posts!

Loved The Help! Also liked Sarah’s Key and The Wednesday Sisters. Tried to read the Dragon Tatoo one on vacation but just couldn’t get into it, think it was too heavy for sitting by the pool . Just started Laura Bush’s book Spoken from the Heart, liking it so far. Recently got a part-time job at our local library and my reading list is growing faster than I can keep up .

Have always been a fan of the Unofficial Guides too!

I’ll make another recommendation: Telling Memories Among Southern Women, edited by Susan Tucker. It’s the real-life inspiration for The Help, and I found it fascinating. It might be a bit academic or unadorned for some tastes, but the personalities and history that come through the interviews are just riveting.

I just finshed The Help. I liked it a lot!

I’ve been tearing through a lot of lighter brain candy type books. I need to get back to my reading list soon. I tried to read Founding Mothers by Cokie Roberts but just couldn’t do it.

Oh, and if anyone likes history books that read like fiction I read The Big Burn this spring and it was really good!
