Spotlight: Slightly South of Simple by Kristy Woodson Harvey


Spotlight on Upcoming Release by Kristy Woodson Harvey: Slightly South of Simple 



From the next “major voice in Southern fiction” (New York Times
bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand) comes the first in an all-new series
chronicling the journeys of three sisters and their mother—and a secret
from their past that has the potential to tear them apart and reshape
their very definition of what it means to be a family.
Caroline Murphy swore she’d never set foot back in the small Southern town
of Peachtree Bluff; she was a New York girl born and bred and the worst
day of her life was when, in the wake of her father’s death, her mother
selfishly forced her to move—during her senior year of high school, no
less—back to that hick-infested rat trap where she'd spent her childhood
summers. But now that her marriage to a New York high society heir has
fallen apart in a very public, very embarrassing fashion, a pregnant
Caroline decides to escape the gossipmongers with her nine-year-old
daughter and head home to her mother, Ansley.



Ansley has always put her three daughters first, especially when she found
out that her late husband, despite what he had always promised, left her
with next to nothing. Now the proud owner of a charming waterfront design
business and finally standing on her own two feet, Ansley welcomes
Caroline and her brood back with open arms. But when her second daughter
Sloane, whose military husband is overseas, and youngest daughter and
successful actress Emerson join the fray, Ansley begins to feel like the
piece of herself she had finally found might be slipping from her grasp.
Even more discomfiting, when someone from her past reappears in Ansley's
life, the secret she’s harbored from her daughters their entire lives
might finally be forced into the open.



Exploring the powerful bonds between sisters and mothers and daughters,
this engaging novel is filled with Southern charm, emotional drama, and
plenty of heart.

My Massive List of Book Bloggers for 2017!



Book Bloggers Unite! 


As much as I love blogging about books, sometimes I find myself in a blogging slump. That’s when I like to check out what some of my bookish buddies are up to. I originally had the idea to compile a master list of book blogging websites in 2014. I updated my list in 2015 and now I’ve updated it again, this time including Twitter and Instagram! If you’ve found yourself wanting to check out some book blogs or been looking for bookish peeps to follow on Instagram or Twitter, this is the list for you!

I know I've missed so many awesome bloggers, which means I will be constantly updating this list (so check back often). If you know of anyone that should be included or would like me to add, edit, or remove your info, please let me know in the comments below or email me at WriterRhiannon@yahoo.com
