I know it&#8217;s a state of mind! I&#8217;d love to find more books written from that perspective. They often write about small town values; respect, honoring parents, but they don&#8217;t take themselves too seriously. I&#8217;m thinking of <strong>Anne George and Patricia Sprinkle&#8217;s Southern series<\/strong> here, and some of the Texan authors exude that same charm. I&#8217;m rereading Anne George for the millionth time, but I&#8217;m looking for more like her!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>G&#8217;ann writes:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am reading my last <strong>Miss Silver mystery<\/strong> (I&#8217;ve collected them from local bookstores and Amazon and a British site).
