I agree with you Cindy. Savannah Blues was better!! I think I read Hissy Fit too. Just don't remember. I have to read the description.
Read the description and see if you can remember; then let me know if it's worth the time! :)
I've been wanting to try Mary Kay Andrews too. I love southern books.
Cindy ~ I didn't read it. It's on my TBR shelf. No wonder why I couldn't remember. LOLShelby ~ Savannah Blues was great. It reminded me of a Lifetime Movie.
I read three of her books written as Mary Kay Andrews after reading her cozy mysteries written under her real name, which is Kathy Hogan Trocheck.She also was a journalist who covered the real-life murder trials which were the basis of the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
Cool, huh?
Wow, cool to know Rose! Were her mysteries good too? Thanks for the info!
Cindy wrote: "Wow, cool to know Rose! Were her mysteries good too? Thanks for the info!"Yes, I enjoyed them, and that was why I read the Mary Kay Andrews books.
I used to be a huge fan of "cozy" mysteries. I devoured them so voraciously that now I don't really remember much about them (I don't even feel right about listing them in my "books read"). But, they were great fun!

How funny, Brenda! :D
I'm reading that now, Cindy! Was the beginning a bit slow for you? I cannot tell if it's the novel or me being sick which has dragged the first chapters.
I've got that one to pick up at the libary tomorrow to start next....
Maybe the beginning was just a little slow; it kept flipping back and forth, and I just had to keep reading to find out what happened in each time period. I quickly got used to this style though, but it seems others just didn't like the style or the book. Maybe it was my mood at the time, but I really enjoyed it!

60. Low Country by Anne Rivers Siddons Listened to this book on tape. It was good!
I'm late on this post. I got Low Country from the library and couldn't get halfway through the first disk. I just didn't like the main character.
I liked it ok....I think I had read the book before and I really liked the book. The tape; not so much.
76. The Girl She Used to Be by David Cristofano. Excellent book! Going to the top of my "best read in 09" list!!
76?! Seventy Six?! How in the world... (Jaw dropped open, speechless) You Go Gal!
I'm on your list stealing book ideas Cindy! lol I like alot of the same types of books and some of these sound great!
The Jeanne Ray books are fun, but the last one I read (The Girl She Used to Be) was just awesome; a little different from my normal read but great! I like to steal book ideas from you too Shelby!!
I've got that one on my to read list :) Have you come up with a list for me yet Cindy? LOL
Any of the books listed on PBS and then I have Fool Me Once by Fern Michaels, A Patchwork Planet by Anne Tyler, and The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell (which I gave 5 stars). Let me know if you want any of those!
i for sure would love the esme lennox one and i will check out PBS today and let you know. let me know if i can send u postage money too ok?
I think the Esme Lennox one will do it Cindy, if I can steal that one from ya I would greatly appreciate it :-)
Oooooh, I really loved that book. :) Enjoy it Miss Holli!
Thanks Rose, I've been wanting to read it for awhile....
77. The Known World by Edward P. Jones - Listened to this on audio and it was hard to keep up with all the characters and time periods.
Would anyone else like Fool Me Once or A Patchwork Planet??? Let me know!
It was a light, fun read; especially if you are a dog lover! Not real deep, but funny in places.
Tanja wrote: "How was Fool Me Once, Cindy?"Just pm me your address if you want to read it and I'll send it to you!
79. Up Close and Dangerous A Novel by Linda Howard I enjoyed this book but it was a little too much on the 'cheesy' romance side for my tastes.
I LOVED True Colors. I liked it better than Firefly Lane but I know I'm in the minority there. lol.
Wow! You have got an amazing list of books here! I've added quite a few to my TBR list. :)
I think I have read some really good books this year! I know just what you mean about the TBR list...mine is completely out of control!! I need to stop going to the library and getting more books until I read some of the ones on my bookshelf here at home!! Maybe that can be a New Year's resolution of sorts!
