Resumen del Editor
To know the Sweet Potato Queens is to love them, and if you haven't heard about them yet, you will. Since the early 1980s, this group of belles gone bad has been the toast of Jackson, Mississippi, with their glorious annual appearance in the St. Patrick's Day parade. In The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love, their royal ringleader, Jill Conner Browne, introduces the Queens to the world with this sly, hilarious manifesto about love, life, men, and the importance of being prepared. Topics include:
- The True Magic Words Guaranteed to Get Any Man to Do Your Bidding
- The Five Men You Must Have in Your Life at All Times
- Men Who May Need Killing, Quite Frankly
- What to Eat When Tragedy Strikes, or Just for Entertainment
And, of course:
- The Best Advice Ever Given in the Entire History of the World
From tales of the infamous Sweet Potato Queens' Promise to the joys of Chocolate Stuff and Fat Mama's Knock You Naked Margaritas, this irreverent, shamelessly funny book is the gen-u-wine article.
For more wit and wisdom, don't miss The Sweet Potato Queens' Big-Ass Audiobook and Financial Planner.

Historia
Clinton Kelly is probably best known for teaching women how to make their butts look smaller. But in I Hate Everyone, Except You, he reveals some heretofore unknown secrets about himself, like that he's a finicky connoisseur of 1980s pornography, a disillusioned critic of New Jersey's premier water parks, and perhaps the world's least enthused high school commencement speaker.

If there is one thing Lincee Ray has learned over the years, it's that the majority of women on the planet struggle with insecurities. Our skinny jeans mock us. Our just-trying-to-help mothers are just driving us crazy. Our social media feeds taunt us with everyone else's picture-perfect lives. It's enough to send you on a gummy-bear bender while binge-watching Friends reruns and not showering for a week. Lincee knows. She's been there. Right there, in fact. Gummy bears and all.

After a girls’ weekend in Savannah makes her realize that she is - yikes! - middle-aged (binge watching is so the new binge drinking), Jen decides to make a bucket list and seize the day.

From the break-out star of BuzzFeed and the People's Choice Award-winning comedian comes a collection of hilariously anguished essays chronicling awful moments from his life so far, the humiliations of being an adult, and other little indignities. Matt Bellassai has no idea what he's doing. Well, to be fair, he did become semi-Internet famous by getting drunk at work, making him a socially-acceptable - nay - professional alcoholic. He's got some things figured out. But the rest is all just a terrible, disgusting mess.

What Doesn't Kill You is the story of how Thomasina Hodges, a.k.a. Tee, loses her job and finds herself. Tee's evolution after her sudden and unexpected outplacement, is loosely based on the stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, relinquishing, readjusting, and reinvesting. For Tee, losing her job is like a death, but with time, and some bumps, bruises and a new attitude, she comes out on the other side, having reassessed what's important in her life.

What do the lives of Lincoln, Helen Keller, Joan of Arc, and other historical figures have in common with Paula Poundstone? In the hands of this wryly observant and self-deprecating comedian, the answer is outrageously funny and unexpectedly touching. Poundstone compares her crazy life to theirs, as she holds forth on her children, her career, and the time in her life when it appeared she would lose them both.

As for longtime devotees of her multiple award-winning novels, you'll discover that you hardly know her.

Number-one New York Times best-selling author Laurie Notaro isn't exactly a domestic goddess - unless that means she fully embraces her genetic hoarding predisposition, sneaks peeks at her husband's daily journal, or has made a list of the people she wants on her Apocalypse Survival team (her husband's not on it). Notaro chronicles her chronic misfortune in the domestic arts, including cooking, cleaning, and putting on Spanx while sweaty (which should technically qualify as an Olympic sport).

Margaret, droll and whip smart, has a will of iron that never fails her even when her body does, while Bernice, an avid country-music fan, is rarely lucid.

Loved it!
I have listened to several of the Sweet Potato Queens books and I absolutely LOVE them! They make me laugh while driving, and I really don't care how long it takes me to get to work in downtown Dallas! Jill Conner Browne as the author is perfect ... she has the southern drawl that drags you in and keeps you laughing. The accent alone keeps me laughing. It is really unfortunate that you do not have all the fabulous recipes in print ..... (sigh). You will definitely have to go back to the books and listen to and write down the great recipes. Sweet Potato Queens know how to eat!

The only self help book you ever need
Yeah, she isn't the best reader in this audiobook, but in her other books her reading is much better, like she isn't sorry about any of it. I actually read this one after the financial planner one, so I was already hooked. Definately quotable! If your a fan of self help books, then try and take a break with this one, because if you were not confident before you started reading this book, then you will be.

Silliness, not seriousness
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Eh. Women are far more than shallow sex objects. There are certainly some giggles in this title but it is not at all a serious tome of empowerment.
If you haven't read about this book, read other reviews, or had a friend tell you about it then I must start out with THIS BOOK IS NOT RATED G!
Now that the rating is out of the way, if this book is read with the thought that it is only entertainment and not a how-to guide, then laugh away.
For a real life how-to for beauty, follow Audrey Hepburn in her quote, "For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."
On a positive note, there is nothing sillier than a gaggle of girls. This book is about said gaggle.

The funniest and best book for sisterhood!
This book is hilarious and changed my life. It gave me a new appreciation for sisterhood and made me realize that no matter what is happening in your life, there is always time for some fun. Be bold! Be outrageous! But do it where no one knows you. HA! HA! or not. The choice is yours. Life is too short, not to say what you feel or try and push your own limits in the name of good fun. A MUST read!! There are a bunch of fun recipes, too. yum! yum! I'm an SPQ fan for life!!!!

witting and funny
This is a good funny read. Uniformly witty. This is the better of the two Sweet Potatos. The other one (the recipe book and financial guide) is funny too but not as much as this one. If any Sweet Potato queen disagrees, then she is welcome to come tell me so, and I'm sure she will.
