Well, the central Texas heat has driven me indoors for the summer and it’s only June for crying out loud! We’ve been in triple digits for several days in a row!
What’s a Pink Saturday gal to do when it’s too hot for the lawn? Head indoors, of course. That’s exactly what I’m doing and I made a quick run to the book store for some Pink Summer reading and guess what I found!…
an armful of novels by Mary Kay Andrews! I know she is a favorite author of Beverly, our esteemed hostess, but I had never read any of her books…now the challenge of the week is to decide on the order…Chronological? Geographically from East to West?…North to South?
Savannah Breeze is pulling me right now because it has such a cool summer cover, plus its cover is the most Pink. I love Savannah and books set there so I’m also leaning toward Savannah Blues.
The Fixer Upper sounds dangerous…like I might become inspired to take on a DIY project…not in this heat!!! Better save it until later in the summer.
If you have suggestions for the reading order, feel free to make a recommendation. I’m so excited about my reading list…I’m usually a biography fan… I did enjoy the Earth’s Children series, you know, Clan of the Cave Bear, et al.
Check in with Beverly http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/ for this week’s list of participants and to see who is being featured this week.
Have a Pink Week…Stay cool.

I suggest reading Savannah Blues and then Savannah Breeze. There's also a book with the same characters that's set at Christmastime called Blue Christmas. I love all of MKA's books but I liked the three I mentioned best of all, followed by Hissy Fit. Enjoy!
Looks like you have some good reading! I read Deep Dish. It was a very easy fun read!
Happy reading and happy PS!

I love the book commentary! I am so happy I stumbled across your blog on Pink Saturdays. I am your newest follower.
Joy to you, LaVerne! Your visit to The Writer's Reverie blessed me! Returning the favor and know I'll be following joyfully each week. This blogging thing is great - so many fresh creative and inspirational ideas - I don't know how I'll find the time to apply them all. But, that'll only be fodder for blogging! Hope to soak in your muse at Riverside Studios! Joy -

Found your blog from Pink Saturday and love it! Following you now - enjoy your reading.
OK, I have to admit I don't know diddly squat about MKAndrews, but I'm betting if Beverly likes her writing, I probably would! It looks like you picked up enough books to keep you indoors and outta that head for a few days, at least!
We've had hit and miss 90s, but thankfully, more miss than hit so far. It's not unusual for us to hit the 100s by the end of June, but it usually doesn't stay for long...it comes back in August.
Heading out to our Farmer's Market for a bit. I never get there early on Sat....I sorta miss out on the good stuff, but it's still a fun little outing.
Stay cool and HPS!!!! L, Dana
I haven't read her, but now that you suggest it - and knowing she's a favorite of Beverly - I'll check her out!
thanks for the tip, and have a great weekend and a happy Pink Saturday!
Yikes! Isn't the heat terrible? I live in las Vegas and it's been triple digits here. Happy reading! :)
