What do you want to know?
I’m a thirtysomething (at least for a little while longer) who loves books. I was born in Ohio, graduated from Ohio State, and then spent time in LA, Arlington, Virgina, NYC and Lansing, Michigan before ending up back in Ohio 9 years ago. I have a wonderful husband who never complains when I bring another book home and two furry kids-Scout the cat and Max the dog.

You can match the smartest guy around line for line, and you've got an open mind that allows you to get what you want, even if you don't recognize it at first. Your leading men include Cary Grant and Clark Gable, men who can keep up with you.Find out what kind of classic leading man you'd make by taking the Classic Leading Man Test.
What Jane Austen heroine are you?
This is a fun book & your teaser definitely catches its spirit. I know you’ll enjoy it.
I should read this book again. I read it years and years ago, and recall really enjoying it — I can’t remember the story anymore, though.
Excellent teaser! It definitely denotes a certain atmosphere.
I have never read this book, but I love that teaser! Thanks for sharing it Stacy.
Like it – definitely sets the kind of environment you are about to enter.
I really liked this book. And thought Kevin Spacey was perfect in the movie. Looking forward to your review.
Ok – you have convinced me! Have been wanting to read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and had forgotten about it. I will go get it at the library TODAY!
That is such a fantastic quote, thanks for the tease.
Loved the What Flower Are You Test on this blog!
I haven’t read this book, or seen the movie, but I’m putting it on my TBR list.
John Brendt is a good writer.
And Stacy, I understood what you meant. No explanation was needed.And you are welcome to comment as many times as you wish!
I think that was one of the first NF books I picked up that read like a story instead of a dry re-cap and made me realize not all NF is boring. The author conveyed the scene and characters – and yes, those real people were quite the characters – so well that it made me want to get right down to Savannah ASAP. Now of course, all these years later and I still haven’t visited. But I can see the images in my mind clear as a bell still from his writing. I didn’t care so much for the movie.
Stacy, That is just such a wonderful quote. I haven’t been tempted to read the book up to now but, if the rest of the book is this good, I’d like to give it a try.
Stacy! Waaaah! I went to click on “Reply” to the comment you left on my blog and I clicked on “Delete” instead, and I can’t find any way to undelete. Sorry sorry sorry! I would have emailed, but I wasn’t sure if that’s an email account you check regularly, so I’m posting here instead.
I am groveling. Sorry about that! I’ll be very careful from now on.
Ahem. And now that things are calmer — that’s a great quote! Another of the many books I’ve been meaning to read, and never have quite managed to yet.
You’ve gotta love Savannah! Great quote…and a great book!
I loved this book – and I am reading City of Masks by Daniel Hencht at the moment that is also set in New Orleans -and gives me the same sense of atmosphere that ‘Garden’ did. Only my book has a strong Ghost element to it – is still a mystery – and not at all cutsie
Great teaser! Savannah sounds like my kind of town : )
