I absolutely loved Suck Your Stomach in & Put Some Color On! by Shellie Rushing Tomlinson! I read it on the beach this past summer, and I got so many strange looks when I laughed out loud at many parts of this book about Southern girls and their Southern Mamas. Instead of traditional chapters, each section is a lesson that the author, Shellie, learned from her Southern Mama. No piece of advice is left out -- Shellie's Mama covers everything from your first date to "growing young."
Part of the reason I loved this book so much was because Shellie's Mama reminded me of my own Southern Mama. Much of the advice from the two Mamas were the same, proving that great Southern minds think alike, and Shellie and her Mama shared many of the same experiences that my Mama and I are now experiencing.
In all, if you're looking for a comical light read for Thanksgiving or Winter break, read this, and you'll definitely feel closer to your Mama.
Me and My Southern Mama
