You Don't Sweat Much for a Fat Girl

You Don't Sweat Much For a Fat Girl
Author: Celia Rivenbark
Pub. Date: August 15, 2011

I admit it right now, I love me some Celia.  As I always have said, she has the same observations on life that I do.... only she has the guts to actually say her thoughts out loud.

A humor columnist who sometimes turns thoughtful,once in a while downright serious but always, always interesting. 

Her stories range from the State Science Fair, "There's some weird shit going on up in here." to the fact she can't seem to control her kids like Betty Draper does - with steely gaze, a slight whisper and martini glass in hand.

I read Celia's books and I laugh, snort, chuckle, snort more and occasionally giggle.  All of this leads to highly suspicious looks from the rest of the family who are not used to Idgie being quite this festive in nature, but what can I say.......Celia drags it out of me.

I have her entire set of books and highly recommend you do the same. 

*No money changed hands between Celia and myself for this review.  :)

Welcome to the Dew Book Review Section!

Welcome to the Book Review Section at the Dew!

If you are a publishing house or author who has a book Southern in nature, or by a Southern writer, that you would like the Dew to review, please contact me at dewonthekudzu@gmail.com and I will provide you mailing information. (Wink wink, nudge nudge... the Dew has been getting a little lax about the Southern rule recently... just saying.)

The Dew tries it's best to have a review online as close to the publication date as possible, depending on the number of books waiting for review.

Please note, book reviews are the Dew's "business". The Dew does NOT post it's reviews on other sites. Please do not request that we do so. Thank you.

BUT, if I review your book, you may feel free to share it wherever you wish!
