Published: September 2015
Format: Hardcover
Pages: 384
Rating: 5/5
Summary:
Self-proclaimed fat girl Willowdean Dickson (dubbed "Dumplin'" by her former beauty queen mom) has always been at home in her own skin. Her thoughts on having the ultimate bikini body? Put a bikini on your body. With her all-American beauty best friend, Ellen, by her side, things have always worked...until Will takes a job at Harpy's, the local fast-food joint. There she meets Private School Bo, a hot former jock. Will isn't surprised to find herself attracted to Bo. But she is surprised when he seems to like her back.

Instead of finding new heights of self-assurance in her relationship with Bo, Will starts to doubt herself. So she sets out to take back her confidence by doing the most horrifying thing she can imagine: entering the Miss Clover City beauty pageant-along with several other unlikely candidates-to show the world that she deserves to be up there as much as any twiggy girl does. Along the way, she'll shock the hell out of Clover City-and maybe herself most of all.


With starry Texas nights, red candy suckers, Dolly Parton songs, and a wildly unforgettable heroine--Dumplin' is guaranteed to steal your heart.

So other than my normal bore of nonsense, we're just going to get right into the haul I have for you today!

Top Ten Tuesday

It's been a while since I have done a Top Ten Tuesday (and by that this is my second one...SORRY!)

I hope that those of you reading this will send me a comment as to what you would like to see in the future!

So let's get started with our Top Ten Tuesday for today which is...

September Book Haul!!

Happy second week of September everyone! As I'm sure you all know, I started my final year of college on Tuesday, and let's just say, Chaotic would be an understatement. Lots of things to do, read, buy...never ending list. I'm also sure that many of you have started school again, whether it be college, university, or even high school. Some of you may have shipped your little rugrats off to school for the first time, or just back there again moving on up...Makes you feel a little old doesn't it? No fear, because we all end up getting a break at some point. Now enough of school (BORING) talk, lets get to the real reason you're all here! Books, Books, Books!!

This is the first (and hopefully only, but no promises) book haul for the month of September. Many of these I just found on a good sale, so I figured I would grab them now, rather than later. So lets dive in!...
