And since we're on the topic of favorites, I've got to share this book with you!

I am SO excited to tell you about this new book Perennials by Julie Cantrell.  This book is probably my favorite book I've read all year.  It was very good!  The characters are so relatable and very easy to love or hate.  You feel so invested in their lives, their stories and their families.  I loved the connections to Mississippi, Ole Miss and all of the quaint details of Southern living.  It really is a charming tale with every emotion in it.  You'll find yourself smiling, laughing and crying as you get to know the characters better.  There are surprises along the way that will make you smile and others that will take your breath away.  There are both male and female characters from all walks of life to relate to - gardeners, athletes, business women, yoga teachers, socialites, farmers, beauty queens, baby sisters and dogs.  The cover art is beautiful and I guarantee that you'll be inspired to work on your gardening skills as you fall in love with the gardens in this story.  There are valuable life lessons and important ideas throughout the book.  It's inspiring, compelling and just a feel good book.  I couldn't recommend it more.  It's 350 pages and I wasn't ready for it to end when it did.  I've never read a Julie Cantrell book before, but I was impressed.  I couldn't put it down and am anxious to read more of her writing.
*I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review of it. 

Good luck with the giveaway!!
