Hallelujah! The Sweet Potato Queens are back! In 1999, Jill Conner Browne, royal boss of Jackson, Mississippi's own glorious Sweet Potato Queens, introduced them to the world in the hilarious bestseller The Sweet Potato Queen's Book of Love (which contained everything you ever need to know about Love, Life, Men, Marriage, and the importance of Being Prepared). But, fortunately for us, that was not the final chapter in the Queens' splendid saga. The Sweet Potato Queens still have plenty of stuff to say and valuable wisdom to impart about how they went from being Cute Girls to Fabulous Women, including: • Dating for the Advanced, or Advancing • The Joys of Marriage—if you must • More Delicious, Death-Defying Recipes • The Promise for Men—six little words that will make any woman swoon • Lolling About—the official activity of the Sweet Potato Queens • The All-True Story of the Two Most Wonderful Men in the World • Reader Mail—honoring the adventures of brand-new Wannabes and Honorary Queens from around the world If you haven't met the Sweet Potato Queens yet, this is the introduction you've been waiting for. If you already know the joys of Queendom, this is your official welcome-back party.

" More of the first book - fun, great recipes! "
— Kathaileen, 2/14/2014" This is a great book, I will probably appriciate more when I'm older. I need to read the others. "
— Tessa, 1/30/2014" Funniest group of real life Southern ladies I'll ever be introduced to! They are a hoot! "
— Heather, 1/27/2014" This was the very first Sweet Potato Queens book I had ever read. It was HYSTERICAL. True Southern women with grit. I just had to read the others. Even thhough it's written in "Southern Slang", it relates to any female at any age (adult). Happy reading. "
— Marie, 1/26/2014" I first heard Jill Connor Browne on NPR while trying to drive...she made me laugh so hard that tears filled my eyes and I couldn't see to drive, so I had to pull over and laugh outloud some more. Try any of her books and you'll see why she is the Sweet Potato Queen! "
— Jill, 1/25/2014" So hilarious and there are 2 other books and a cook book! "
— Christina, 1/21/2014" This is a fun easy read and it is hysterical! I honestly cried laughing "
— Susanne, 1/18/2014" Didn't enjoy this sequel as much as I loved the first book, The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love. More of the same, very funny and entertaining. She is a great author. I guess one book of it was enough for me! Read my review of the first book and you'll know exactly what this one's about also. "
— Julie, 12/22/2013" Some clever passages scattered throughout. I loved the part that assured me that many other wives have to wear a coat in the house during the air-conditioned days of summer! "
— Joan, 11/3/2013" This book is so fun. You have to have a certain sense of humor to enjoy these books. Being southern wouldn't hurt either, but isn't a requirement. I absolutely love these books! "
— Tami, 8/22/2013" More from the Queens-just as funny. "
— Joanie, 6/17/2013" I have taken quite a shine to Jill Connor Brown. I would definitely suggest her books to anyone looking for a good time and fatty food (Mmmmm Mmmmm, bacon!). "
— Anne, 5/5/2013" Excellent! Love this new series and cannot wait for the next one. Well developed characters, delightful locations with excellent plot and prose. "
— Caitlyn, 4/17/2013" Fun. that is what this is all about. And being thoroughly outrageous. "
— Fay, 3/30/2013" This was OK, some funny parts mostly annecdotal. I guess you have to read the first one to really understand it. "
— Mandy37, 6/21/2012" This is one of those books that you can gain some insight into why you do the things you do and take away a little bit of advice as you smile and laugh your way through this book. An easy book to read for fun. "
— Mary, 1/8/2011" Very fun, just like the other Sweet Potato Queens book I read. I'd give it a 3.5 really. The kind of book where you laugh in public and then look around to make sure no one is reading over your shoulder and can see the dirty little thing you just laughed at. "
— Krista, 6/27/2010" i just liked the cover nothing else. "
— Carol, 7/18/2009" Jill Conner Browne and the Tammy's are hilarious! "
— Jill, 7/31/2008" i can't help it, but i love her books!! "
— Mandy, 1/23/2008" hysterical funny, one of those that that I can read over and over. "
— Jennifer, 3/4/2007" After the first one, they all kinda repeat... "
— Dioscita, 7/4/2006" not quite as hysgterical as the first, but entertaining all the same "
— Shannon, 9/7/2005" Just as funny as the first book...with a suprisingly touching ending. "
— Jessica, 6/21/2005" Very fun book to read - resulted in a fun book club meeting too. Loved the recipes in the back. One of my friends who read this book has joined her local chapter of the Sweet Potato Queens. She has a blast and they do a lot of charity work at the same time!! "
— Debby, 5/7/2005" Another good read - not a lot different from the first, but full of more humerous stories and great recipes. "
— Kimberly, 3/23/2005" Definitely not as good as the 1st book. It seemed a bit self-important. "
— Jen, 3/14/2004" I loved this one like I love all the Sweet Potato Queens books. So funny! "
— Julie, 9/12/2003" Ran out and got it as soon aas I finished the first one. Just as good! "
