Set to release July 14thAnd has anybody read Karen White's books? I haven't, but this title sparked my interest. I always love a good Southern book set in real places in cities I am familiar with. If you have read any of her books, let me know how they are!

And I also have not read this book, yet, but really want to before I see the movie:

Other books on my "must read" list include: Chasing Harry Winston, Mating Rituals of the North American WASP, Prep: A Novel, One Fifth Avenue, Love the One You're With, Certain Girls, Social Climbers, Pretty in Plaid, Knit Two, Time is a River, The Memory of Water, Off Season, Water for Elephants, and Dixieland Sushi (and other books by Cara Lockwood).
Whew!! I am going to be busy! Thank goodness I am a quick reader!



I just bought Chasing Harry Winston and One Fifth Avenue. I can't wait to read them!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the new Pat Conroy! I love summer reading!
ReplyDeleteI have Love the One You're With...would you like me to mail it to you? It is really good-I love Emily Griffin's books.
ReplyDeleteBelle claims she has nothing to write about! I keep giving her a hard time about it...I think she's still reading though:)
I had no idea Mary Kay Andrews had a new book! I love here!
ReplyDeleteI am still working on Gone with the Wind!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I can't wait to read Dorothea Benton Frank's new book... Conroy's looks great, too! I'm like you - I like reading books by Southern authors especially when I'm familiar with their settings. Have you read From the Land of Mango Sunsets?
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading WASP and am reading Chasing Harry Winston. It's good.
I am so happy there is a release date for the new Pat Conroy book! I met him several years ago when I was a student at USC and he came to do a lecture. :-D
ReplyDeleteWe are looking at July 25 for our party...
Chasing Harry Winston is a good one :) Hissy Fit is second in line for me to read...thanks for sharing all the book titles (I'm bookmarking this post :))!
ReplyDeletePat Conroy = Genius and my fave author of all time! I didn't know there was a new MKA book out...that made my day!
ReplyDeleteI can not wait for the Pat Conroy book to come out...he's great! And, I adore books about Charleston.
ReplyDeleteTotally stealing some of your reads to add to my list. Finished "Water for Elephants" last weekend and it was really good. Much different from what I usually read, but loved it none the less!
Now, all you need is a house on a beach and three weeks to lay back & do nothing but dive into these books!
I finished the new Mary Kay Andrews in one day, and I hope there is a sequel. The House on Tradd Street was wonderful, also a quick read. Pretty in Plaid was good too, especially since I can am about the same age as Jen Lancaster, the author. Too bad we don't live closer, you and I could share reading material. Climb onto Pawley's Island hammock, sip a cocktail, nibble on boiled peanuts, and enjoy all the great reading!
ReplyDeleteI mother is OBSESSED with mary kay and she is waiting for her cop to come in the mail. I though she was the only one who liked her, guess not! I definitely will read them now!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love Dorothea B. Frank's books. And that Pat Conroy book looks amazing too, they all do!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your sweet words. Seriously, it means a lot. We should definitely do lunch one day!
Thanks again...hugs!
Love Love Dorothea Benton Frank and Mary Kay Andrews! You must share some reviews!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous! I can't wait until August when I can read fun stuff again!
ReplyDeleteyou need to start a bookclub miss reader!
ReplyDeletesince waining for jane is MIA and no where to be found!
oh can't wait to read fun books after i take this stupid ny bar. i can never decide if i like pat conray or that genre or not. sometimes i find it so cliche. and the stories a bit over the top. but it is entertaining.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting these! I hadn't heard of many of them. They are definitely on my Charleston beach-reading list now!
ReplyDeleteWe have the same taste in books. I read House on Tradd Street earlier this year. Just started reading Return to Sullivans yesterday. Am itching to get my hands on the Conroy and Monroe books too.
