God Save the Sweet Potato Queens
by Jill Conner Browne
A follow-up to the above book. This a must-read for every woman in America. Jill Conner Brown has the guts to write all the things women are thinking but are too shy to say out loud for themselves! Recommended for hilarious advice...Forget "less is more"--as Jill and all the Tammys can tell you, "more is more, and also better." |

The Sweet Potato Queens' Big Ass Cookbook and Financial Planner by Jill Conner Browne
This is another laugh-till-you-cry offering from Jill Conner Browne, the Boss Queen of all Sweet Potato Queens. Jill skillfully links together her uproariously funny prose with actual recipes that she has collected or been given. Topics range from her mother moving in with her (which leads to a need for pie) to the Cutest Boy in the World, whose mother makes the Sweet Potato Stuff.
Financial planning advice includes things like:" Rich old people are generally more attractive than poor old people, so by all means, try to get rich before age sets in. Otherwise you'll just be playing catch-up for the rest of your life and that will just wear you out, let me tell you." |
Now for Humor and Mystery all in one.

All of these books are part of the 'Southern Sisters Mysteries' by Birmingham's Anne C. George. The first one shown, 'Murder makes Waves' takes place right here on the Gulf Coast ! You will recognize many familiar places and events in these funny books--a great 'beach read' |

Mississippi author Carolyn Haines has entertained many a beach reader with her humorous mysteries set in Dixie. Her Amazon customer rating is 5 stars--the highest!
Them Bones.......Buried Bones.......Splintered Bones
Carolyn Haines can "turn a phrase". She also has that wonderful Southern voice for humor, sacrasm, creating REAL people, and keeping the reader up all night trying to find out what happens next. Them Bones.......Buried Bones.......Splintered Bones

Now if you haven't read 'The Firm' by now--do so. In it, the hero (Tom Cruise in the movie) and his wife come tearing down to Orange Beach to the actual-factual Perdido Beach Resort. It was called the Perdido Hilton when the book was written.
Great story. |
