Southern Fried Women - A Book Review
When I saw the title, Southern Fried Women, I knew being a girl raised in the South, I would be interested in reading this...
Now, I haven't finished the book, but I am enjoying it so far.
It is 253 pages, but you don't have to sit and read it all at once.
It is a mixture of different "short stories" that tell the story of good old southern gals!
I will be honest. There are times when I am not just feeling it. I am not sure if it is this particular book, or just reading in general... I can not figure it out.
Once I am finished with this, I know that my mom is going to enjoy reading it, so I am trying to get it finished soon....

Sometimes I like short stories, sometimes not. It's that by the time I get interested in the story, it's over, and it's hard to get revved up to start all over with another one.
