Looks like so much fun and I wish I had been there to go with you. My book has been ordered and shipped, so I will get it when I return home! I am excited to read it!! Hugs, Linda
Oh and I've read all of her books including those by her as Kathy Trocheck! Love everything she writes!
Oh, I LOVE her books! I've read all but the newest ones and even one of the Callahan Garrity ones. Y'all look like you had so much fun. I wished she'd have a book signing on this side of town. :) I hear Mary Kay/ KHT is a big yard sale hunter.
Thanks for sharing a fun time.
Sue, that looked like fun - you always do the most fun things. Linda buys or gets the books and then she passes them to me so that I can read them too.
Love, sandie
This event looks like a hoot of fun, and now I have an author to look for. I love humor in books.
My daughter and I spent an afternoon together ... went to see the new "Bernie" movie~ She has been wishing for a new book to read, talk about great timing! Thank you so much for the visit.
I had so much fun! It was great seeing you and in fact the event was the highlight of my week!
Wow! looks like quite an event! You guys sure know how to throw a party!!
xxoo
You live in the most interesting place! Imagine going to such a book launch....it would never happen here. I loved being part of it all here, and on Cheryl's post.
I have not read any of her books but some day I might just have to get one but first I have to get through the ones I have waiting. Looks as though you girls had a real fun night out.
That looks like a lot of fun Sue!
And that little grand-daughter of yours is just adorable and I can't believe she is 5 already!
Hugs friend,
Cindy
I love Mary Kay Andrews books and have read just about all of them. I saw the new book at Kroger and looked it over but since I currently have a stack of books I want to read, I'll wait to buy this one when the paperback comes out. Cheap, huh?
What a fun event! I'm not familiar with this author but he books sound delightful so I will check her out! You loook wonderful Sue --so does Cheryl!
Sue,
I just started a Fairfield House Blog Book Club. Where were you when I needed suggestions for the first read?! You certainly are keeping busy and having fun in Georgia. I will have to pick up one of Mary Kay Andrew's books. Are they a series? Is there a specific one I should start with?
Your Friend,
Deborah
Hi Sue, this looked like a fun event......love her books! I think I have everyone of them! The Foxtales gals are some of my favorite people. If you ever get a chance, they also throw a great book signing at their shop several times a month. Hope all is well with you. I haven't been blogging much in the past six months......been busy at the shop. I follow a few blogers on Facebook (Confessions of a Plate Addict) and hopped over today to read a few of my favorite blogs. So enjoyed your blogger luncheon in November. Thx for the invite. Stay in touch!
