How appropriate that I finish the Southern Reading Challenge during a heat wave here in PEI. I'm sure it isn't as hot as Alabama can get, but we are not used to having 31 degrees (Celsius!) temperature. I am glowing like a Southern belle today.Great mystery here with the sisters, as Mary Alice impulsively buys a country bar, and then the former owner is promptly killed. Sensible sister Patricia Anne narrates the story as the sisters look into the murder, somewhat. Between trying to set up their daughters, attending political fundraisers, and putting up fall preserves, the girls, who do not appear related other than their ability to read each others thoughts, are involved in the investigation up to their proper shoes and important necklaces. This was a great little mystery, and wonderful humorous, slice of southern life. There are many more books in this series, and they make a great single day read.
I started this last night, waiting in front of the library to meet booklogged and her husband, who were visiting PEI. We had a great seafood supper - chowder for booklogged and me, Oysters Rockefeller for her husband, and a wonderful visit. As we came out of the restaurant, a marching bagpipe band walked down the street. They were then headed to see Anne of Green Gables, the musical. I forgot to check if they had Kleenex before they saw the show. They left PEI today and are headed in a general way to Utah now. Have a safe trip, youse guys.
I'll trade you the heat for our rain : )
ReplyDeleteHow fun! That's so great about meeting up with booklogged!
ReplyDeletemyutopia: I hope it didn't sound like I was complaining about the weather! It was pretty rainy here for the first part of July. I hope you're not flooding like England.
ReplyDelete3M: yes! It was so cool. She's as great as you'd imagine. And her husband was wonderful too.
I've never read any of this series, but I've heard that they are good.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a nice visit with Booklogged! :)
