bought new (Book Depository)
FF's quirky books suit me right down to the ground when I feel like a good laugh or cry. I hope this is good.

yes, it is good, a page-turner set in Birmingham, Alabama and the world of real estate. Heartwarming characters, funny, history and a mystery. Fannie Flagg has never let me down.

This for the NSS gift, one of three FF books.

Taken to the Bordeaux Convention from my NSS-Partner : but now reading start of the novel I see that I have already read this one in french. Never mind, find it a new home very soon.

Happy reading Shahrun !

This has arrived safely in London, with a fabulous postcard and a cool bookmark! Thank you so much. I shall do my best to get it read and released as soon as I can.

This is one of those rare books that captured me right from the beginning, all the way to the end. The story has quite a gentle, almost fairy tale like quality, even though it was following Maggie who was determinedly and methodically planning her own suicide! There is the interesting sub plot of the Edward/Edwina Mystery which added another dimension to the story (I guessed it correctly). I was a bit disappointed not to get the dirt on Babs activities in NYC - she could have had a whole book to herself. There were so many characters I absolutely loved, especially Maggie herself but Hazel has got to be the best! I’d love a best friend like her. I love the ending, giving everyone just what they deserve (I had guessed correctly that too, but it didn’t spoil it for me to be proven right). This book had a lot of warmth, heart and charm. I love the sensitive handling of the subject matter and the fact it didn’t lower itself to some dark nasty places.

Packing this book up along with a little sweetener (due to my delay reading it). It is going back to France to entertain a new reader. After that who knows! Maybe in the next life I too can be a well travelled BookCrossing book.

Thank you Shahrun for the book and the chocolate. I wasn't in a hurry, as you know when entering Bookcrossing you have plenty , although I'm looking forward to reading it.

I'm never disappointed with Fannie Flagg. Witty, funny, and full of wisdom.

A surprise book ! I hope that you like Fannie Flagg as much as us.

Looks like a very enjoyable read. Thank you for surprising me, Icila !

That was a pleasant read. Great female characters, funny situations, a mystery and a happy ending, I couldn't ask more to cheer me up :)

To the lucky winner of the Annual Clearance sweepstakes.
Happy reading !

When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of.

**** Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option. ****

Picked it up yesterday at Empacombe Quay whilst on a walk. It has now made its way to Par and after i have read it i will send it off on its travels x
