Waltzing at the Piggly Wiggly by Robert Dalby

51T-YJ9-eWL__SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp,TopRight,12,-18_SH30_OU01_AA160_ “Nothing in life, no trial, no heartbreak, no triumph, no aspiration was ever pointless or wasted energy. It was never too late to discover what you were actually born to do in a particular lifetime.” – Hale “Mr. Choppy” Dunbar Jr.

I’m a sucker for books set in small towns and will read just about any genre if it has a small town setting or a southern flavor to it. This book is probably considered “chick-lit” but it was an easy and relaxing read.

Set in Second Creek, Mississippi, “Waltzing” is a cute story  about the local Piggly Wiggly being driven out of business by the national Megamart chain and the local ladies group’s plan to save it. It includes a whole cast of crazy small town characters from the ladies’ group, the Nitwitts, to the store owner, Mr. Choppy, to the eccentric  mayor, Floyce Hammontree, to the town’s most eligible bachelor, Powell Hampton. Mix all these and more together with a little romance, mystery,  humor and intrigue and you have got an enjoyable story with a few twists and surprises.

 

 

While writing this, I was listening to "Rock Steady" from "Bad Company" by Bad Company
