What R U Reading?

If you are a member of an online group "What R U reading" is probably a very familiar question, we ask and answer it all the time. In April I will be reading and reviewing  a book written by one of my favorite business gurus, Harvey Mackay. The book is titled WE GOT FIRED!...AND IT'S THE BEST THING THAT EVERY HAPPENED TO US. The title and the subject caught my attention, so of course I could not say no to a review request. You can look for my review in my Work and Family column sometime in April.

I stopped by the library to find a book for a little pleasure reading before I started reading WGF. I came across a new book written by Cassandra King. I have not read Ms. King's  previous novels, MAKING WAVES and THE SUNDAY WIFE; however, after reading THE SAME SWEET GIRLS, these two earlier novels are certainly on my list of books 2BR (to be read).  Cassandra King has written a wonderful bittersweet novel about friendship. The first page had me hooked, "Although we call ourselves the Same Sweet Girls, none of us are girls anymore. And, I'm not sure that any of us are now, or ever have been sweet...southern girls are raised to be nice and polite...The question is, are the Same Sweet Girls sweet? Hardly. But one thing's for sure:...We are the same complicated, screwy, mixed-up, love-each-other-one-minute and hate-each-other-the-next...."  Now, as a genuine Georgia peach who is very nice, and has a group of very special friends, I knew I had to read this book. And I did--in one night. It's that good.
