Long Live the Queen
Common and sense and a sense of humor are basically the same thing. A Sense of humor is just common sense at high speed and Jill Conner Browne is going about 110 MPH when she writes.

HRH Jill Conner Browne, The Sweet Potato Queen does it again
I have been a fan since the first Sweet Potato Queens book came out (Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love AKA SPQ BOL) in 1999 and spawned an entire industry. There is now a book series describing everything from marriage and divorce to children and cooking (funeral food is a big favorite), all told with a southern twist that is both naughty and laugh out loud funny. There is also an online store selling queenly merchandise and a parade every March in Jackson, Mississippi that attracts thousands of women. Jill, the self proclaimed "boss queen" writes with an eye toward the southern female of a certain age but these books are enjoyed by women everywhere. I am always happy to see the next installment.

That said, this book was not quite as funny as the previous installments. Since it is covering the march from middle age to geezerdom maybe there just isn't as much to laugh about. There is some funny stuff but I did not feel like I was looking at my life (being southern myownself) in the mirror this time. I still look forward to the next installment though. -

AMERICAN THIGHS was awesome!
Jill Conner Browne hit the mark once again with her new book. Laughing out loud while reading a book is one of the truest forms of entertainment. Jill strikes a chord with baby boomers everywhere.
