O Bed! O Breakfast! Audiobook, by Robert Dalby
Waltzing At The Piggly Wiggly Audiobook, by Robert Dalby

Publisher Description

The enchanting sequel to Waltzing at the Piggly Wiggly–a Southern charmer about second chances in love and life, and the odd–and oddly funny–events that bring people together. When Hale “Mr. Choppy” Dunbar decides to run for mayor in his hometown of Second Creek, Mississippi, Laurie Lepanto and her new husband, Powell Hampton, insist on managing his campaign. Even though his family-owned store, the Piggly Wiggly, was forced to close, Hale Dunbar is still beloved in Second Creek. After all, life in Second Creek is all about having a strong sense of community–albeit a quirky Mississippi Delta sense of community. Backed by the Nitwitts–the town’s most influential and enjoyably eccentric widows–Laurie and Powell begin plotting the kind of genuine, down-home mayoral campaign that will assure Hale’s victory over his opponent–the self-serving, obnoxious Floyce Hammontree, who frankly would have preferred a career as a lounge singer. Along the way, Gaylie Girl, Hale’s long-lost love, returns to Second Creek to shake things up even more. But regardless of the challenges they are faced with–strange weather, backroom bribery, or the illness of one of Laurie’s dear Nitwitts–the former boss of the Piggly Wiggly and his team find a way to outdo themselves once again.

"Second in the series. Excellent. I enjoyed this one better than the first one. Sadder things go in in the town than then first one but good eventually triumphs over evil."

    " This is a cute story about small town Mississippi politics. I got it from the library as it was billed as a humorous book. Mostly, the humor is lacking, but I plowed on. There are occassional smiles generated, but that's about it. It's harmless and quaint. Not much to learn from it either. "

    " This is as funny as "Waltzing at the Piggly wiggly. It just shows what you can do when you step out of your comfort zone. and how friends all rally around each other even if they don't always agree. "

    " Eccentric town and characters were interesting enough, writing was a little stilted at times. Will probably try another in this series. "

    " I did not finish this book. It was not as good as the first one in the series - "Waltzing at the Piggly Wiggly." I felt it was predictable and a little boring, so I just put it down and moved on to the next book in my stack! "
