Hello Southern Travelers!
I'm currently in the Northern Woods; far, far away from the maddening heat and humidity of Mississippi. So, contact with my wonderful bloggy friends (you, you, and you) is limited.
I thought I would go ahead and place the wrap-up post and Mister Linky for those of you who ran through the challenge like hot butter.
Please, write a lovely post on how the books moved you, possibly made you sweat, or bored you to tears. Then leave the post specific URL on Mister Linky. And, as always,visit around!
Reminder! The Name Your Blues contest ends tonight at 12:00 am sharp!
Note: The first Holiday Inn opened in the Berclair area of Memphis in 1952 by Kemmons Wilson.

Thanks, Maggie!
BTW, how far North are you???
I hope you are having a good time.
Hi Maggie! I sure enjoyed reading southern books, but I WOULD ENJOY THOSE PECANS EVEN MORE!! Isn't there some way you can rig this contest for your newest friend?
I checked out the Twinkie book yesterday and started reading it. Good stuff! Thanks for recommending it.
Hey, Mary! I'm at Gunflint Lodge in Minnesota right next door to Canada. I caught A HUGE Lake Trout yesterday! :)
Thanks Yolanda! Thanks for participating again this year! :)
Oh, I wish I could Miss Idiarts, but that wouldn't be fair. ;) We still have a couple of Fridays, so stay tuned!
Great Chris! Enjoy! :)
In 1953, Wallace E. Johnson joined Mr. Wilson to develop Holiday INns, Inc. Mr Johnson brought in a young and pregnant account to set up the bookkeeping system and be chief acct. Her name was Alice Head Logan, my mother. Of course, she was pregnant with me.
Jo Ellen - That is so kewl! Thank you for sharing! :)
Thanks for the great challenge--I'll definitely be in again next year!
YAY, Trish! :D

Thank you for hosting a great challenge!
Thank you so much for participating, Brittanie! :D
I loved this challenge, but unfortunately I wasn't able to complete it - I only read two books - one by Charlaine Harris and another by John Grisham.
Dang, Kara! There is always next year. Do stop by and visit before then, though! :D
The Article is very nice and interesting. One day with friends we went to UMA Hollidayinns morning at eight we started here and around ten we have attended there and we are guided by our sir and we had enjoyed the day very well and one of the best day which we cant forget in our life.....
