This is a classic work of essays by Bryson told in his inimitable style. Is a unique perspective on American life after his having lived in UK for 20 years. Witty and insightful. Somewhat dated to the 90s.

We half liked it

This is one of my daughter's absolute favorite books. She has me read this to her all the time.

solid follow up to the first Sookie Stackhouse book. Features many of the events of true blood season 2 but in condensed form.

If you enjoy southern writing and stories about real life Sean Dietrich books are for you. Ever read Rick Bragg?? You'll love Seans!

Susan Wiggs does it again! A great story to get caught up in.

This book follows very closely along with the first season of True Blood with the exception of the characters Tara and Jessica being absent. Like the show, features great cast of characters well drawn from the outset. The book is told in first person from Sookie's perspective, so you get an even better sense of her point of view than in the show. The audiobook is especially well done in terms of Sookie's accent, attitude, etc.

A great look at the history of the Memphis Zoo. Great pictures and tons of info found here!

This was the first book I've read by this author after having seen some of the tv/film adaptations of her work. The books really bring the characters to life, and it is intriguing the way that they are told in first person from one person's point of view. Hard to say how historically accurate these are, but they do seem accurate in a broad sense. Actually encourages interest in the historical subject matter. Makes for a great summer read.

Another funny story featuring Miss Julia. This series is funny, touching, and just a good read.
