Margot Cary has spent her life immersed in everything Lake Sackett is not. As an elite event planner, Margot's rubbed elbows with the cream of Chicago society and made elegance and glamour her business. She's riding high until one event goes tragically, spectacularly wrong. Now she's blackballed by the gala set and in dire need of a fresh start - and apparently the McCreadys are in need of an event planner with a tarnished reputation.

Number-one New York Times best-selling author Laurie Notaro isn't exactly a domestic goddess - unless that means she fully embraces her genetic hoarding predisposition, sneaks peeks at her husband's daily journal, or has made a list of the people she wants on her Apocalypse Survival team (her husband's not on it). Notaro chronicles her chronic misfortune in the domestic arts, including cooking, cleaning, and putting on Spanx while sweaty (which should technically qualify as an Olympic sport).

The detailed mass e-mail to Mike's family, friends, and clients blows up in her face, and before one can say "instant urban legend", Lacey has become the pariah of her small Kentucky town and a media punch line....

Willow Havens is 10 years old and obsessed with the fear that her mother will die. Her mother, Polly, is a cantankerous, take-no-prisoners Southern woman who lives to chase varmints, drink margaritas, and antagonize the neighbors - and she sticks out like a sore thumb among the young, modern mothers of their small conventional Texas town. She was in her late 50s when Willow was born, so Willow knows she's here by accident, a late-life afterthought.

What happens when an accountant decides to grab life by the horns and try something new? Apparently a pirate named Dave, a lot of pastel fleece, and blackmail - just to start with. Visualize and succeed, Oprah said. I was sure as hell trying, even if my campaign to score a job as the local weather girl had ended in a restraining order. Okay, TV was not my strength. But a lack of talent has never stopped me before. Which is why I've embarked on a writing career. I mean, how hard can it be to come up with a sexy romance?

Concerned that technology is about to chase mythological creatures out into the open (how long can Sasquatch stay hidden from Google maps?), the League for Interspecies Cooperation is sending Jillian to Louisiana on a fact-finding mission. While the League hopes to hold on to secrecy for a little bit longer, they're preparing for the worst in terms of human reactions. They need a plan, so they look to Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where humans and supernatural residents have been living in harmony for generations.

A darn funny listen y'all
I truly enjoyed listening to this book read by the author. There were humorous observations of life from the perspective of a southerner, but they ring true no matter where you are! She tells it like it is.

Story? What story?!
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I think that maybe southern belles would enjoy this, although, not knowing any, I still have my doubts.
Has Belle Weather turned you off from other books in this genre?
No. This is pegged as a comedy book and I love nothing more than laughing so hard it hurts. This didn't even get a snicker.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator is the author and I don't know who told her she should read her book herself because it's almost painful to the ears.
What character would you cut from Belle Weather?
The main character.

My southern spirit animal
This book is funny. Really funny. Maybe because Celia is like the southern version of myself. From falling in love with granite, to dealing with popular moms and tween sleepovers, she is my spirit animal.
This book was written around 10 years ago, so there are some references yall might not get if you are younger. But they are still funny.

Hilarious, and down to earth!
Where does Belle Weather rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is one of the more hilarious books I have read. It was my first Cecilia Rivenbark books, and I will definitely say there will be more to come in my future!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Cecilia was my favorite character of course because she is so down to earth, the other moms seem so ridiculous. I love someone that can be real and has no problem letting others know just why and how they are so ridiculous.
Have you listened to any of Celia Rivenbark’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, I have not but I will be in the near future!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes it was, and luckily I was on a long car drive. It kept me laughing the entire way!
