I keep looking at these Sweet Potato Queen books, but have never read one. I love your review of the SPQ's Guide to Raising Children... It sounds like a hoot!

Go with the first one SPQs' Book of Love and beware. It is full of debauchery, Sharon. ;D

I'm headed upstairs to the stacks right now to look for our copy of SPQ's Book of Love. Can't pass up that debauchery :)

Hmm...I didn't know SPQ Jill Conner Browne was from Tupelo.
I thought she was from Jackson.

She was born in Tupelo and started the big royal court in Jackson, Pat. Here is her bio...
