Even since I witnessed such a glorious sunset the other day, I have been thinking of this book that I read during the summer. The main character, Elner Shimfissle holds a nightly club called the sun setters club. All her neighbors bring their chairs and they all sit together on her back porch to catch the sunset. It got me thinking, that a sun setters club would be a wonderful idea. Anyway, this was a great book. I know that many of you are feverishly working to finish my previous book suggestion.
Oh wait, for one minute, I thought I was Oprah, and that you were all in my book club, and you were feverishly reading my book suggestions. Anyway, if you are looking for something sweet to help you remember to slow down a bit and savor the simple pleasures of life, than this is the book for you to pick up right now. I had never read any other books by Fannie Flagg, so do not think that that is a pre-requisite. Just go for this one, and enjoy the moments along the way. And by the way, do you have a good book suggestion for me? I just finished my ward's book club selection. What should I read now?
P.S. Thank you Kathryn for coming to visit today. I regretted the moment you were pulling out of my driveway that we didn't even snap a single picture of the kids. Next time...Your girls are sweet. Mine were not so sweet. But you will still be my friend anyway, I am sure of that.

I'm jealous! I want to hang out with you.
So... was this an approved departure from the prescribed format of photos down the center separate from the text?
;-)
I'm going to look for that book as soon as I can. This may be kind of a cheesy suggestion, but if you like fast romance reads, may I suggest novels by Eva Ibbotson. I particularly like "The Morning Gift." I also read and liked "A Company of Swans" by that same author.
Thank Ie Li, I will look them up. And yes Rachel, my editor has made no comment yet, so I will continue to experiment :)
Thanks for the book suggestion. I have been looking for a good book to read. I just put this on hold at the library. I can't wait to read it!
OK annee - you need to get on goodreads.com and post all these great books! I love a good recommendation! Sounds like your friends need to be on it too! it gets addicting!
We just read "A Redbird Christmas" by F. Flagg for our book club for December. It was fine. I've also read her fried green tomatoes book and one that I think is called "welcome to the world baby girl" or something like that--I read those two when I was a teen, so it's been a while. I did feel inspired to try fried green tomatoes though and they are surprisingly yummy! I'll have to check this one out!
I am still working on Pillars' but will put this next in line. I am enjoying Pillars'. You are kind of Oprah-ish (just whiter and skinnier). You love books, running marathons, good food...
