I can't wait to read....

Set to release August 11th




Set to release July 14th


Released today!


Brand new!





And 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!

  3. I 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.

    Belle claims she has nothing to write about! I keep giving her a hard time about it...I think she's still reading though:)

  6. Thanks 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?

    I just finished reading WASP and am reading Chasing Harry Winston. It's good.

  7. 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

    We are looking at July 25 for our party...

  10. I can not wait for the Pat Conroy book to come out...he's great! And, I adore books about Charleston.

    Totally 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!

  11. 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!

  17. 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.

  19. We 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.
