"Waiting On" Wednesday: Southern as a Second Language

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

 Southern as a Second Language

By Lisa Patton
Publication Date: October 15

 From Amazon:
Since the debut of Whistlin' Dixie in a Nor'easter, Lisa Patton's character Leelee Satterfield has entertained tens of thousands of readers. Watching the former-Southern Belle tackle life and love in Vermont was only the tip of the iceberg when it came to antics, charades, mischief, and romance. Now, back in Memphis and beginning a relationship with the namesake of Yankee Doodle Dixie, you'd think Leelee might just sit back and enjoy her newly-crafted life. But that just wouldn't be as much fun . . .
 
Opening up her restaurant with her boyfriend, Peter, proves to be harder than she originally anticipated—especially when her unpredictable best friends are involved! Toss in a lisping neighbor, a male dog named Roberta, and the return of her evil ex-husband who started the whole mess in the first place . . . Well, this is a recipe for just the kind of novel readers expect from Lisa Patton.


What's your "waiting on" pick this week?

    That sounds like a very cute summer read! I haven't read any of the prior books but for some reason the whole Southern belle antics sound they'd be loads of fun!

    So many good books coming out this fall, it is hard to choose just one to spotlight.

    That choice sounds perfect for the dog days of summer. Seems like it's pretty funny too.

    First time linking, great idea for meme. Thanks!

    I love Southern books - reading the accents is just brilliant and makes the characters all the more authentic!

    Southern as a Second Language has a pretty cute cover. I love her boots! Also, I love when a book is set below the Mason-Dixon Line!

    My choice this week is The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski. It has a gorgeous cover and a synospsis that sounds interesting.

    Thank you so much for hosting! I look forward to see what you choose next week.

    Kyiv was attacked by Russian drones early on Sunday and debris fell in several districts, Ukrainian officials say, but no casualties were reported. สร้าง บ้าน เชียงใหม่
