Faster than Kudzu

I've been spending some time at Trashionista. Not just because my good friend Di is one of the editors, not just because they have been giving away free books but just because, well I like it there. I wish I could read books like they were going out of fashion, WH thinks I do, (well I buy them anyhow) but they read far more in a week than I read in a month! One consequence of this is the ever increasing pile on my bookshelves, currently I have 15 waiting to be read.

One of the things I really liked about Trashionista was a mention of
Joshilyn Jackson, erstwhile writer of southern novels, blogger extraordinaire and just general madcap person. If you want a good, old-fashioned, side-spliting laugh and have plenty of tissues to hand to mop up the tears of laughter which I guarantee will stream from your eyes, just read this tale of her arrest. And the two succeeding parts to the story. You will not be disappointed. I wonder if she ever thought of doing stand-up comedy? This is funnier than most comedians ever get.

I am currently reading her novel
Between Georgia and loving every minute of it. Funny yes, but with a serious side. I can thorougly recommend it.

I agree- Joshilyn is the BEST, and Between Georgia is wonderful, hope you enjoy it as much as I did :) xx

The more I read of Joshilyn the more I love her. She has my kind of humour.
Exactly.
