Whether you are a dyed-in-the-white-linen (but only after Memorial Day, y'hear?) Southern Belle or a transplant still trying to figure out if "all y'all" is really the plural of "y'all", this month's Mom2Mom Book Club selection is the perfect book for you. If you are one who reads a book every day, you will spend that day laughing. And if a book in a month is a huge undertaking, you can read it in hysterical snippets because each chapter is its own self-contained vignette.

This month's book is:

We're Just Like You, Only Prettier: Confessions of a Tarnished Southern Belle written by North Carolina's own Celia Rivenbark.

Before announcing this month's selection, we posted a series of trivia questions:

* The title of the book is written in the first person plural.

* She may not balance a ball on her nose, but the writer's first name might make you think that.

* If you have ever experienced a hurricane, you may have found her last name in your yard.

* If you still haven't gotten it, you might want to check in the Arts & Living section of the Sunday N&O.

The first reader to guess it was Melanie AKA disneymom-mel from Fuquay-Varina. Melanie will receive a copy of the book hand-delivered by blogger (and anti-disneymom), Di (since all the other bloggers are pretty certain that Fuquay-Varina is really in South Carolina). Congratulations Melanie!

Reasons why you should read this book:

1. Because we want more people to join the Mom2Mom Book Club…no dues, no commitments, not even those silly meetings where someone invariably takes over the entire conversation with anecdotes about her experiences in the tobacco fields as a teen or whines because you can't read Nicholas Sparks EVERY month.

2. Because Celia Rivenbark has graciously agreed to participate in some way. (Hey…we're making this up as we go along…that's why you love us…and we'll figure out how soon.)

3. Because Nancy, owner of Quail Ridge Books, has once again generously offered a 20% discount on this book to anyone who comes in and mentions that they are part of the Mom2Mom Book Club.

4. Because she's REALLY funny…and who doesn't need a laugh between all the pollen sneezes in April? Don't believe me? Check her out each Sunday in the Arts & Living Section of the N&O…or click here for her most recent article. I swear, she's one of us, only published.

5. How can you not love an author:

- whose first book was Bless Your Heart, Tramp. The woman has a way with a title. Next up, You Can't Drink All Day if You Don't Start in the Mornin'?

- who, in the Introduction, convincingly compares Southern Belles to collard greens?- who makes fun of Erskine Bowles' name?

- who seemingly agrees with my recent post that Moms are (Not) Perfect , when she points out, "Some of my mom-friends gave reward stickers for each time their kid went potty but I don't think a kid should be taught that the simple act of peeing deserves a prize. What's next? A new bike for agreeing to breathe all day?"

- who can make you laugh at childbirth, parenting, menopause, birthdays, TV, husbands dressing kids (horrors!) and SUVs?So, get out there an pick up We're Just Like You, Only Prettier. Better yet, pick it up or have it sent from Quail Ridge Books and get 20% off!

But most of all, do us a favor…we're working really hard on this…for what? For comments! Please leave a comment. Even if it's about your experiences in the tobacco fields…Di
