Review of Prom Queen Geeks (The Queen Geek Social Club) (Paperback)

I love it, I love it, I love it! Every second of it, every second of it!
If you haven't discovered the treasure that is the Queen Geeks series...you must order all three books now! I'm a male in my 20s and I STILL love them! Preble is a gifted, gifted woman. :)

Product Description
The Queen Geeks take on the prom queens in the third of the Queen Geek novels, hailed as Â'thoroughly enjoyable.Â'(Kliatt)

The Queen Geek Social Club includes a firstgeneration geek, a tattooed misfit, a goth poetess, a mathlete, and an exchange student. And together theyÂ're so out, theyÂ're almost inÂ...

ItÂ's prom season, and Green Pines High is split between those who can afford the tickets and those who canÂ't. So the Queen Geeks plan a low-cost Geek Prom. ItÂ'll be loads of work, especially when the popular kids do everything they can to stop it.

Friendships will be tested and boyfriends jilted. But when they expand the Geek Prom, hoping to make this the biggest prom on record, the girls will realize theyÂ're fighting for geeks everywhereÂ...

Review of Sullivan's Island (Lowcountry Tales) (Paperback)

This is the first time I'm reviewing a book on Amazon, and I am apalled at the back and forth bickering between the bad reviews and the mostly rave reviews.I thought this book was simply...amazing.I loved DorotheaBenton Frank's writing style, her characters and her story.I read thisbook in two days, and that's only because I had started it right beforegoing to bed.I was so completely transported into a whole other world,away from the traffic noises and putrid smells of urban life, and smackright into the salty air of sea water and sweet pie smells in the ramblinghouse on Sullivan's Island.I felt like I was a part of the family, inthis great story.It's obvious that all the authors who gave anendorsement to this book felt the same way.Instead of ranting and ravingagainst them for giving their seal of approval, I am praising Pat Conroy,Bret Lott, Anne Rivers Siddons and Fern Michaels.They saw somethingspecial in this first-time author and they are completelly right.I wouldbuy Ms. Frank's next book in a heartbeat!I only hope it comes out soon,because I'm starting to feel restless in my urban environment again, and amin need of some good ole' southern comfort, 'eah!Much thanks to theauthor for giving her readers this wonderful debut novel!Keep themcoming!

Product Description
Set in the steamy, stormy landscape of South Carolina, Sullivan's Island tells the unforgettable story of one woman's courageous journey toward truth.

Born and raised on idyllic Sullivan's Island, Susan Hayes navigated through her turbulent childhood with humor, spunk, and characteristic Southern sass. But years later, she is a conflicted woman with an unfaithful husband, a sometimes resentful teenage daughter, and a heart that aches with painful, poignant memories. And as Susan faces her uncertain future, she realizes that she must go back to her past. To the beachfront house where her sister welcomes her with open arms. To the only place she can truly call home.
