To know the Sweet Potato Queens is to love them, and if you haven't heard about them yet, you will. Since the early 1980s, this group of belles gone bad has been the toast of Jackson, Mississippi, with their glorious annual appearance in the St. Patrick's Day parade. In The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love, their royal ringleader, Jill Conner Browne, introduces the Queens to the world with this sly, hilarious manifesto about love, life, men, and the importance of being prepared. Chapters include:
The True Magic Words Guaranteed to Get Any Man to Do Your Bidding

Men Who May Need Killing, Quite Frankly
What to Eat When Tragedy Strikes, or Just for Entertainment
And, of course:

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5rabck from dvg; tongue in cheek, southern belle's book of tips and tricks for love and marriage
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Well, I've certainly read better by her.....and some of the stories in here are repeats from other books......
I'd give it a 2.5, but then only 2 stars would show.....and I didn't not like it, but I didn't like it...it was just ok. None of that laugh-out-loud-falling-off-my chair humor. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Do yourself a favor and read Jill Connor Browne's book in the audio format; her Mississippi accent is the perfect vehicle.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The "queens" wanted to be known as "Tammy" for anonymity!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not too many books can make me laugh like this one did. I really enjoyed it. Would've given it a "10" rating if it hadn't been for the last part of the book just not being quite as funny as the rest.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Didn't like this story of fallen southern belles discussing love, life, men, marriage and being prepared. Tone is hillarious, I did not finish. I would not recommend it but I know lots of people enjoyed this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved it!! A former Kielbassi Queen of S.W. PA
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really, we Queens love men. They taste just like chicken. Well, we can't really say that for a fact. The ones we've actually bitten were not only not cooked properly, they were alive and kicking. Shrieking, as it were. In our defense I would have to say that they deserved it, and in retrospect I imagine even they would agree. But anyway, we do love men. In theory, at least. I mean, they do sound great on paper, don't they? And we are quite the eternal optimists, we are. Even when there are no serious contenders in the game, we like to have a number of men on hand. Just to play with, you know. We think of them as cat toys.A very funny book about a group of women in Jackson Mississippi who although not approving of beauty pageants, believed that it was every woman's right to wear a crown. So they crowned themselves as the Sweet Potato Queens and entered a float in Jackson's first St. Patrick's Day Parade, and the Sweet Potato Queen phenomenon just seemed to grow from there. Whether dressed in their figure-enhancing green dresses and red wigs or in their everyday clothes, the Queens have a lust for life, fattening food and the cute majorette boots they never had as little girls. Their discovery of the Magic Words that never fail to make any man do exactly what you ask, must rank as one of their greatest achievements.I heard about this book a while back, and found a copy for 30p in the local library sale last month. And being the lightest and fluffiest non-fiction book on my TBR list, it soon floated to the top.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a really funny book! As soon as I finished it, I had to read the others.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Oh, my gosh. I am the Sweet Potato Queen, a born and bred Southern woman who has always secretly longed for a tiara. A fun read for these grim times.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5LOVED this book. A must read if you're a real southern woman. I particularly loved how Jill Conner Brown was so funny throughout the book and got serious at the end...wonderful read. I recommend this book to anyone needing a good laugh.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Loved this book. It made me laugh out loud, sitting in a room by myself. If you are from the south you will recognize the people in this book. It didn't try to be something it wasn't. It was just a fun read and if you got something out of it, great and if you didn't, that was okay too.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was a hoot.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Story of a nice, divorced, shameless Southern woman who ENHANCES herself with padding and hurls sweet potatoes from parade floats, surrounded by other queens for the day.Who can resist this voice? God, I love it. Cheers me right up. Much of the advice concerning men is sound, if exaggerated. But one book of this series is enough for me (as with Harry Potter).
