#readingresolutions #stateintitle

It's been quite a few years since I've read this quirky southern fiction title but I loved it and the protagonist Peejoe. The book takes place during one summer in the 1960's and Peejoe experiences first hand the prejudices of his town and the civil rights movement.

My husband, a huge Alabama fan just, announced “ROLL TIDE! ROLL TIDE! ROLL TIDE!” to the entire block. It‘s after midnight 💤. We live in Georgia, so I‘m gonna fly under the radar when I leave for work. Anyway, I highly recommend Crazy in Alabama and not just because The Tide Pulled it Off! To my UGA #Littens, Love ya, mean it.

LeahBergen This made me laugh! 🤣 6y
SassyBookworm I about woke my whole house up yelling #RollTide 🤣 Then my 5yr old woke up to pee & we had to sing #RammerJammer since she didn‘t get to stay up & watch the game ❤️🏈🐘 6y

rustoryhuf @LeahBergen 😆Now, I‘m laughing. Not so much early this morning, when the announcement was proclaimed. 6y
Kappadeemom Geez, I‘m exhausted. I didn‘t go to sleep until almost 2 and driving to Orlando this morning for work. Man, what a great game! #Stilllovemydawgs 6y
rustoryhuf @Kappadeemom caffeine. You need caffeine. It was cool to have 2 SEC teams in the championship. 6y

Just finished this for #readingroadtrip today! Really enjoyed this book! It was quirky, funny, dark and sad.

Alabama Book Festival is Saturday in Montgomery. Any Littens going? We can do a Littenup. Most of the authors I want to see are in the big tent. That is where I will be most of the day. 😂

Sace Enjoy! 7y

"It's kind of funny to be lost in something you designed yourself, isn't it?"

Probably the most poignant thing I'll hear today.

Librarianaut Whoa! I just put this podcast on...and am listening to it now... 7y

RealBooks4ever I need to check out this podcast, I've heard nothing but good things about it! 🎧 7y
peaKnit It is very interesting! Honestly the words "gooch meat" in episode two made me giggle.? 7y
Thedrunkstrawberry Oh my goodness. This podcast was sooooo good. Now that I've listened to it all I'm listening to podcasts that talk about it 😂😂 7y
PandaPanda I finished yesterday! So good. 7y
RealBooks4ever I binge-listened to it last weekend! Wow! I was stunned when he got that call...😧 7y
Librarianaut I finished it last night- it was so gripping! I feel like this story exemplifies the notion that "truth is stranger than fiction". 7y
LauraBeth @PandaPanda it was really well done! 7y
LauraBeth @RealBooks4ever I was too! I heard that part when I was out for a walk it stopped me in my tracks. 7y
LauraBeth @Librarianaut I had the same thought! 7y

Just discovered this! I know - we need another podcast like a hole in the head 😂 But it's from the Serial folks. Plus, Alabama 🐘

Sace *adds to stitcher* 7y

shanebeth been hearing great things about this. 7y
Bookcation74 I'm one episode in and have so many thoughts!! 7y
jennw1212 Just finished! 7y
ReadingSusan It is so good!! This is just the type of podcast that I think will really appeal to readers. The creators said they wanted it to flow as a novel. 7y
Bookish_B I've listened to an episode and a half but so far I don't love it 😳 7y
LauraBeth @Bookish_B that's okay boo - we can't all like everything 😀 7y
LauraBeth @save, @jess, @Jen2, @TeR, @christine, @shanebeth, @Bookcation74, @jennw1212, @ReadingSusan I'm glad y'all are just as excited as I am to find a new storytelling podcast 😀 7y
Kappadeemom I'm in the middle of #2.. wondering where it's going 7y
bellasocks I'm hooked! On Ch 3! 7y
ChasingOm I'm on 4 or 5! I was hoping to finish my audiobook during my drive yesterday but then this popped up.... 7y
VeryLazyDaisy I finished it and had a fresh existential crisis. 7y
Michelle_mck I finished listening to it today, so good and not what I expected 7y
Suet624 Oh darn. I have so much to listen to already! But then again, such abundance! 7y

RealLifeReading Love your photo! 7y
Leelee08 @Kimzey Definitely in a good way! Hahaha😂😊 7y
LisaJo My adopted state. Moved here 11 years ago from California. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 7y
Kimzey @LisaJo I was just commenting on Your Nancy Drew books! 😊 Yay, another Alabamian! I'm in Montgomery. How about you? 7y
Kimzey @britt_brooke Thanks! Come back for a visit. 😊 Did you say you were at Ft. Rucker? 7y
Kimzey @RealLifeReading Thanks! This was a great hashtag! Who knew there were so many headless book covers? 🙃 7y
LisaJo @Kimzey I am in Helena (close to Bham - I never know if people know where a Helena is located). Montgomery is nice. I like The Shakespeare Festival. And I head down every April for the Montgomery Book Festival. 7y
britt_brooke @Kimzey Yes, ma'am!! 😁 We lived in Enterprise twice. We moved there one week after we got married, then again a few years later. Good memories! Hubby was a helicopter pilot for 8 years. 🇺🇸 7y
Kimzey @LisaJo We'll need to plan a Litsy meet-up at the Book Festival! I'm on the festival committee and usually work the main tent each year introducing authors. 7y
Kimzey @britt_brooke I love boll weevil monument in Enterprise. Ft. Rucker is definitely the place for helicopters! I'm in awe of helicopter pilots. I'm glad you have good memories of Alabama. We love our military families! 🇺🇸👍🏼 7y
LisaJo @Kimzey I have probably seen you introduce an author before :) I do have to say the greatest book festival day was getting to meet Pat Conroy. Both listening to him talk and then having him sign some books. What a loss. Such a small world. Even on Litsy. 7y
Kimzey @LisaJo I was so sad to hear about Pat Conroy. So, glad you got to meet him! Hope to see you in April! 7y
