I Still Dream About You by Fannie Flagg

How did I go all this time and never read a Fannie Flagg novel? I remember her from the game shows ... err uhhh.. okay ...now I'm telling my age haha. This is a fabulous read. I can't wait to finish this book. It won't take long. I can't seem to put it down!

Bed of Roses :: Nora Roberts

Ahhh the wedding trilogy ... all three of these titles are worth every turn of the page. I also loved the texture of the pages and extra attention to detail of this trade paperback.

Successfully Marketing Your Novel In the 21st Century by Austin Camaco

Okay, okay ... so it's not a novel ... but it might help me get mine out there for you to read! Great recap of Austin Camacho's journey to gain a readership and some great tips that I will definitely leverage on my own.

I read this while on the way to sunny, Saluda, VA yesterday with my husband. It was perfect timing for this read too because NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) starts today and now I'm all geared up to make some big progress.

If you're an aspiring author .. .this is a must-read.

Cross Roads by Fern Michaels

Ahhhh Number 18 in the Sisterhood series by Fern Michaels. Just hit the shelves and I had to have it. This is a great series of interesting problems and a group of tough gals that can really work their way to justice.

You don't have to read them in order ... .get yours today and I bet you'll be picking up others at the grocery store and online in no time.

Always an entertaining read.

Dune Road by Jane Green

This is the first book I've read by Jane Green. I'm not sure if it's consistant in style with the rest of her books ... it's a bit narrative ... BUT the story is so dog-gone good you have to keep reading.

I really enjoyed it. I plan to order another story of hers on my next Kindle order.
Happy reading.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

Okay .. I have to admit that this one took me a while to read, but only because of the heavy use of dialect in the beginning of the book. Once I got through the first few chapters it moved along better.

I'm southern .. i don't need all those funny spellings for me to hear that twang ;)
Anyway -- good read. Pretty cover ... yes, I do pick them that way pretty often!

THE WEDDING GIRL by Madeline Wickham

Yes .. that one .. the one that writes the Sophie Kinsella books.
This book was passed to me by a colleague while I was in Charlotte a couple weeks ago. What a quirky, fun read.

A fun cast of characters and surprisingly, some pretty amazing didn't-see-that-coming twists.

A fast read -- enjoy it!
