Beyond Bestsellers - October 2007
Each month, only a few books reach the top of the fiction bestseller lists, but there are many more terrific titles available at the Library. Here are some recent favorites.
Take one food writer named Cranky Agnes, add a hitman named Shane, mix them together with a Southern mob wedding, a missing necklace, two annoyed flamingos, and a dog named Rhett, and you've got a recipe for a sexy, hilarious novel about the disastroud side of true love.
"A comic caper and caucous romance...laugh-out-loud funny" --Kirkus Reviews
You're invited to the charming Delta town of Second Creek, Mississippi, known for its chatty citizens, unusual weather phenomena, and elegant ballroom dancing in the most unlikely places.
"As a group of eccentric widow ladies dance in the aisles of the Piggly Wiggly, they'll have you rolling in them." -Ann B. Ross
The enchanting sequel to Waltzing at the Piggly Wiggly, a Southern Charmer about second chances in love and life, and the odd-oddly funny-events that bring people together.
This book is filled with sassy Southern humor as well as romance and mystery.
"Sassy and sexy Cash's big-haired heroines dish up Texas-size fun." -Carol Haggas
"The order of the day is entertainment, and the book piles it on." - Publishers Weekly
