Let’s Be Friends-Book Review
Let’s Be Friends-Book Review
I love going to Barnes and Nobles but there’s a reason I don’t go more often….I come out with arm loads of books. This weekend I was one of 150 authors at the Kentucky Book Fair. As the author of a new book I was invited to come and sit at a table and hopefully sell my books. I did sell books, but I also came home with a sack full of new books to read.
I saw so many books I wanted! It was hard to narrow it down just to a few. I see a good book and it just begs me to read it. This book was a no-brainer. I knew immediately I wanted to read it. Let’s Be FriendBs, by Elizabeth Hoagland, Elizabeth’s cousin, Bonnie was seated at the table next to me (I bought her book, too and will review it at a later date).
Anyway, Bonnie was a sweetheart. She had a huge vase of yellow roses. I mentioned that yellow roses were my favorite and before I could blink her husband had brought a vase and my table had yellow roses on it as well. Bonnie told me that Elizabeth was a grandmother and was interested in my book. Elizabeth even mentioned my book, The Faith-filled Grandmother, on her blog (how nice was that!) So I wandered down to meet her and purchased a copy of her book.
I enjoyed chatting with Bonnie and Elizabeth and I even got to meet Elizabeth’s new grandson, Henry. Isn’t he adorable?
Elizabeth’s book is such a fun read that I started it yesterday and finished it tonight. The book is a journey through Elizabeth’s friendships and how each friendship shared a gift with her. I enjoyed taking a mental stroll down memory lane with her and her girlfriends and came away feeling like I know them!
The book is chock full of fun things to do, great suggestions for getting closer to God and increasing our faith, as well as delicious recipes that I can’t wait to try! It inspired and entertained me but most of all it made me want to be closer to my sister/friends.
If you read her book you will meet the “Butter Babes” (you have to find out for yourself what that means) the “Ya-yas” and many more. You will find yourself laughing, crying and then laughing some more at their antics and mishaps.
It’s a great book to gift to your friends. I gave it 5 stars on Amazon and wrote a review there.
It’s a sweet read that your sister/friends will love!

Congrats, Teresa. How exciting! Love that photo of you – you look fantastic !
It was a lot of fun! I love books!
Thanks so much and it was fun!
Thanks, Mitch but I am far from famous! It’s still fun to write a book though!
Yes it is and it’s a great book. Thanks for stopping by!
It is fun but expensive!
I think spending time at bookstores sounds like fun!
How wonderful to hear that your book is doing well and that you enjoyed the book fair. Bonnie’s book sounds delightful! Friendship is so precious.
That is so cool that you were able to both sell your book and buy some others. Very nice. Such a double win.
It is an honor to be blog friends with a famous author! You!

This is my first time here, but not my last. That book looks wonderful. I’m on my way to Amazon to order it. Have a wonderful week!!
How exciting – nyst have been a thrill to have people coming up to meet you and buy your new book (congrats!)
I have that same problem when I go into Barnes and Noble! Looks like a fun day at the Book Fair.
Thank you Bonnie. It was a day full of blessings and you and Elizabeth were two of them!
Thanks so much Cathy!
Thank you and hope you have a great week!
Thanks so much Steve, and you too!
Thanks for stopping by Jeanna. I suspect I spent more on books than I made selling them. Oh well….I have lots of reading material for awhile.
Hi Gale! Thanks for stopping by! It’s a great book!
Gotta get that book! Thanks for the review. Found you through The GRAND Social. ?
Yeah, books have not gotten any cheaper. He is a cutie for sure. That’s exciting and maybe a bit intimidating to meet the author.
What nice photos and cute heheh!
Congrats from me too have a booktastic week 🙂
Congratulations! How very exciting.
I know how hard it is to leave a book store without a book. Congratulations on your recent endeavor. Have a grand week!
Teresa, what a bright and uplifting morning post. Thank you for making a fun day more special with your delightful presence. Not only do I have a new friend, I have another fine book about my favorite pastime – grandmothering!
