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. Chapters 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 • 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.

"Another re-read! As I do love a well-told story, woven with lovely Southern colloquialisms and featuring bold, beautiful women, I thought "yeah! let's read it again!" when I spied the paperback at the used book store. " — MsSmartiePants (4 out of 5 stars)
"Another re-read! As I do love a well-told story, woven with lovely Southern colloquialisms and featuring bold, beautiful women, I thought "yeah! let's read it again!" when I spied the paperback at the used book store. "
" Fun book. I listened to it on audio and it cracked me up. Definitely one to read when you're feeling down. It will perk you up. "
" Aside from puppies, I hate to describe anything as "cute"...but I found this book just that (but not cute-for-kids really, lots of curse words). Highly recommend for any fan of Fannie Flagg or Robert Harling Southern-humor. "
" A cute book of "advice" from a group of Southern women - pretty funny! "
" I laughed until I cried - over and over again! I think it helps to have lived in the "deep south" to fully enjoy and relate to the author's experiences and beliefs. "
" Hillarious! Love the honesty and southern girl sass of this book. Was one of those books that I loved to give away! Includes the Alison margarita as I always refer to S e knock you naked margarita "
" This was cute, but I found her overconfidence to be tiring. "
" Quirky, Southern .... lots of laughs. "
" Humorous look at life; made me laugh out loud at times, but easy to put down and forget about (I think it took me a couple of months to finally finish it). Watch out - there is quite of bit of unsavory language and topics that some might find offensive. "
" What a hoot! This book was raunchy in parts but is was hilarous! "
" There were some funny parts, but it seems the "queens" were just a bunch of southern golddiggers. They got on my nerves. Now I see why most successful women move away..... "
" I love the irreverence and diva-esqueness of the Sweet Potato Queens but found myself bored with the tone about halfway through. The "holier than thou" attitude towards men can be quite entertaining but an entire book it does not make. A few really great laughs makes it worth the read. "
" The Sweet Potato Queens just make me laugh. I love all of Jill Connor Browne's book and I want to be a SPQ. "
" So far I don't really like this one. Maybe it will get better. "
" a fun book to read, you can almost see yourself just sitting and listening to "Tammy" talking and telling you all of these fun stories and recipes. i highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a pick me up "
" My absolutely, all time favorite, laugh out loud book. Whenever I need a pick-me-up I just pick up this book and read a chapter or two..or the whole thing. Lots of down-home southern good advice! "
