    As a Yankee, I have always been charmed by the South. The accents, the food, the attitudes. My niece lives in Charleston SC and I have delightedly seen her go from Jersey Girl to Southern Girl.This book was a witty jaunt through the important things in Southern Life: Weather, Football, Etiquette, and Food among other things. I had a few laugh out loud moments... a thoroughly delightful quick and entertaining read for a New Year. I recommend it to y'all!

    I love all things southern so this book was right up my alley. That being said, I felt like this books was full of cliches. Almost like a Hollywood version of what they think a southerner should be. I did enjoy some of the essays and the book is beautifully designed.

    I received this from Library Thing Early Reviewers. THANK YOU!It is a hoot!Julia Fowler explains life from the Southern Perspective. “Comin’ and Goin’”, “Obsession With Football”, “Southern Cooking” and “Just Bein’ Southern”, Fowler gives tips and more with a good dose of humour.Football is not just a sport to a Southerner — it is a major part of life — a religion. The focus is on high school and college teams. Friday is high school games and Saturday is college games. And a true Southerner does not miss either. It doesn’t matter if they attended the college of their choice…it is the team that matters.Southern food is considered the ultimate form of hospitality. Each area has their distinct cuisine and they each claim it to be “the best’> Food is a part of every event; welcome to the neighbourhood, funerals, holidays or stopping by to chat. Food is an expression of love.The book is filled with southern phrases, some I’m familiar with from friends and many I’d never heard. It is interesting what a number of phrases can really mean!It is a fun read that can bring some smiles your way — and we call all use some smiles! It also has a few southern recipes to try out for a taste of southern cooking.

    A big thank you to LibraryThing for this book in exchange for my honest review.What a funny and charming book! I had a smile on my face when I wasn't laughing out loud.Ms. Fowler really loves the South where she grew up. I'm so glad she has passed her thoughts on various aspects of Southern living to us: the weather, the South's obsession with football, food, health, being country, and comin' and goin' (baby showers for those comin' and funerals for those goin'). I loved all the Southern sayings. Of course, being from Southern Indiana, I have heard many but certainly not all of them. There are pages and pages of sayings with the subject corresponding with the section.Ms. Fowler has a YouTube channel, Southern Women, and I have a feeling it's as charming as this book. You don't have to be a Southerner to enjoy this light read.

    I am a Florida cracker with parents from the northeast. So I am a mix. That being said, I loved this collection of essays and sayings of southern women. I have true southern relatives and in-laws and friends...now some of what they say and so makes more sense to me...more of a cultural and not eccentric thing...like "I wanna hug your neck..." So I had a lot of chuckles with this little book. I don't think a true southerner would be offended by this, nor would a Yankee be bored. Good little book for anyone!!!

    OK, I am from the North, Indiana, but I live in the South, Texas. This book seemed fluffy to me. Some of the things that she said in the book made me angry. Some were funny and other things well, I wanted to have my time back for reading them.Angry stuff, I got made when she assumed as funeral customs in the South were different from the North. The author lived in New York City, I lived in Indiana. The funeral customs in the Midwest are very much the same as in the South, we in the North are not all the same. Also saying goodbye to relatives in the Midwest can be an endless set of conversations, starting from when the guest says, "well, I had better be on my way" to last one as the guest has her car in reverse and her foot on the accelerator. I am angry because these are not just Southern culture, they are alsp Midwestern culture!This book alternates between essays on Southern Culture with different topics in very small print and sayings in large print.I won a finished copy of the above book in a contest in Library Thing. My thoughts and feelings in this review are entirely my own
