Sometimes You Need Something Lighter

Sometimes crime and news just get too much and I need a break. Finding a good book to bury myself in is my favorite escape and the best book I have read recently is Savannah Breeze by Mary Kay Andrews. This book is about BeBe Loudermilk, a minor character in her earler book, Savannah Blues, Savannah Blues which is an awesome book, by the way. Although, I must stress that Savannah Breeze stands alone - you don't have to read the other book first (but, you will want to read it once you are done, as well as all of Mrs. Andrew's books!) Here is a brief quote from an editorial review of Savannah Blues: "From Publishers Weekly In this spirited sequel to 2001's Savannah Blues, Southern belle BeBe Loudermilk continues to attract the wrong kind of man. Thrice married and divorced, her latest romantic debacle involves Ryan Edward "Reddy" Millbanks, an unscrupulous financial consultant who takes her for nearly everything she owns. All BeBe has left is the Breeze Inn, a run-down motor hotel on Tybee Island, a quirky beach town. With the help of best friend Weezie, an antiques expert with a talent for turning garbage into gold, BeBe is determined to make the property a success. She soon butts heads with Harry, the Breeze Inn's ornery caretaker, but her efforts pay off: seemingly overnight, the Breeze Inn is fully booked and bustling. But when Reddy surfaces via yacht down in Lauderdale, BeBe hits the road with Weezie, Harry and her grandfather (who manages to tear himself away from the Weather Channel) to find the reprobate and make him pay. A former journalist for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Edgar nominee Andrews writes with tongue firmly in cheek, presenting a cast of eccentric characters and a plot that's decidedly over-the-top. It's light, pastel fun. (Apr.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. " Enjoy!
