Title: The Sweet Potato Queens’ Book of Love
Author: Jill Conner Browne
Genre: Funny as Hell, Memoir??
Why The Sweet Potato Queen’s Book of Love is a Red Hot Read: I want to be Jill Conner Browne when I grow up. That girl can turn a phrase and is as funny as all get-out. She describes life in Mississippi in a way that would make the most hard-core yankee want to be a southerner.
A few of my favorite quotes from the book:
“Be particular.”
“Buy your own crown and declare yourself queen.”
“When someone dies in the South, it’s not altogether tragic.”
“If God wasn’t mightily amused by our humanness, I figure he’d have wiped us out a long time ago.”

Today is Mickey Mouse Day. Not sure why we have a day for a rodent who wears his little red shorts so danged tight that his voice is three octaves too high, but use it as an excuse to watch your favorite Disney movie!
