Daddy Sang Bass, Mama sang Tenor

My parents seemingly have nothing in common- Daddy is a car dealer with a business mind.  Mama is a potter who sometimes I believe still has no idea what I do as a transactional attorney.  She was an anthropology major where she fell in love with ceramics, while his analytical brain studied engineering.

Mama is tight as a tick, while Daddy is a bit, ahem, more generous in his spending.  Mama is more of a country girl, growing up riding her horse to school on report card day.  Daddy, although born in East Tennessee, to East Tennesseans, grew up in Pittsburgh.  He is a bit more likely to turn up his nose at a dinner of beans, greens, and cornbread (although I think this has changed after thirty years with Mama).

Anyway, one thing they enjoy together is books and reading.  Our home is overflowing with reading material- books and magazines line the wall, and reside in stacks in corners and nooks.  Much to Hubs' dismay, our cosy little condo is rapidly becoming subject to the same fate.  I read, to put it mildly, a lot, and I love to be surrounded by books. So the Happy Prize for today is. . .BOOKS!

Two of my recent favorites- Bound South by Susan Rebbecca White, which is set in Atlanta.  I read this last summer around the time I read "The Help".  I recommend this to any fans of that book.

Book number two is a psychological thriller set in Cape Cod, "Tainted", by Brooke Morgan. I devoured this book, which kept me up all night.

So please enter by commenting which book you would like to win, and what is currently on your nightstand.  I'm always looking for fun recommendations!
