Tiburon...

South Carolina is where the majority of Sue Monk Kidd's novel The Secret Life of Bees takes place. I finished reading this last night- at 7:45 to be exact.

The story was rich of Southern culture, summer romance, adventure, friendship, belonging, and hope- just enough to keep a gal entertained.

I especially enjoyed reading about the Southern culture- particularly on the food.

Smothered chicken, boiled peanuts, orangeade, corn fritters, butter beans, and for dessert, ice-cold Coca-Cola with salted peanuts- "We [Lily and I] like to pour our peanuts straight into the bottle. It's the perfect combination of salt and sweet in liquid." - August Boatwright.

Mmmm, sounds delightful.

I've got all the time in the world to do just about anything.

So, I've decided to re-read Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I want to re-familiarize myself with her story before the movie comes out August 11!!- because it's been at least a year since I've read the book.

I told my mom about this book and she read it too. She said she loved it, and I'm sure you will too :)

Happy Wednesday!!
