Fat Is the New 30

The Sweet Potato Queens' Guide to Coping with (the Crappy Parts of) Life

De: Jill Conner Browne

Narrado por: Jill Conner Browne

The Sweet Potato Queens are back and bawdier than ever in Southern belle extraordinaire Jill Conner Browne’s ninth edition of the hysterical series. Having experienced pretty much ALL of the crappy parts of life, Browne feels it is her duty to render whatever assistance she can to her fellow sufferers - and she does so in her own inimitable fashion.

Her father taught her there are very few situations in life that we really and truly cannot change, and it is up to us to figure out how to either make fun OUT of them - or make fun OF them. And fortunately for the rest of us, Browne is well equipped for both. Including the exploits of the Queen contingent and her family, she delivers applicable tidbits like:

• Thinking or talking about watermelon can save any negative situation.
• If you get drunk in Scotland, you can’t have your cow with you.
• When sanity and reason fail, you can always cheerfully resort to ridicule.
• Denial means that every situation is perfectly perfect.

More fun than a Cracker Barrel full of monkeys, Fat Is the New 30 will change your life - or at least give you ideas for making fun of your own self.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Fat Is the New 30?

every page

Faaaannnntastic!

I loved everything about this book, including Jill’s narration. Apparently some folks thinks she reads too slowly, but I suspect they are from up north. Bless their hearts. For those of who like a few extra syllables here and there, the cadence is perfect. This book resonated with me more than any before, particularly when she spoke of caring for her mother at the end of her life. I’m sure I’ll revisit it again before long.

Love!

This book is so relatable that it made me cry ,laugh, and ponder my next third!

I'm in love!

Just finished this book. It was so much fun to read/hear. Imagine if a delightful and hilarious southern belle hijacked an NPR studio for 9 hours and did a marathon segment of how to deal with some shit, and how to laugh at other shit.

Love this book and Jill Conner Browne

I love to hear Jill’s voice as she tells stories about her life lessons and escapades. She writes just the way she speaks and it is a true delight to listen to one of her audiobooks. Jill makes me laugh so much I am not sure I should listen to her while driving.

Another homerun

What did you love best about Fat Is the New 30?

I love listening to Jill Conner Browne talk. I love her voice and the way she tells stories, I could listen to her talk all day. By the end of this book, I was even thinking in my head with a little southern draw.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

I love the positive outlook, she always tells tome great stories that will make you laugh, but makes sure to pull at your heart strings a little bit too.

Laugh out loud funny

Loved this book! Even if you don't live in denial, I would recommend this book for comic relief! Her stories and southern accent makes you forget some of your own stresses! Very enjoyable!

Great entertainment salted with nuggets of wisdom

I was looking for some mindless entertainment and laugh out loud humor. After 2 years of Covid craziness and mass hypnosis this audio book was balm to the soul! I recommend it! It is deeper than it looks!
