About this book (from the publisher):
In her latest enchanting novel, New York Times bestelling author Sarah Addison Allen invites you to a quirky little Southern town with more magic than a full Carolina moon. Here two very different women discover how to find their place in the world…no matter how out of place they feel. Emily Benedict came to Mullaby, North Carolina, hoping to solve at least some of the riddles surrounding her mother’s life. For instance, why did Dulcie Shelby leave her hometown so suddenly? Why did she vow never to return? But the moment Emily enters the house where her mother grew up and meets the grandfather she never knew—a reclusive, real-life gentle giant—she realizes that mysteries aren’t solved in Mullaby, they’re a way of life. Here are rooms where the wallpaper changes to suit your mood. Unexplained lights skip across the yard at midnight. And a neighbor bakes hope in the form of cakes. Everyone in Mullaby adores Julia Winterson’s cakes. She offers them to satisfy the town’s sweet tooth and in the hope of bringing back the love she fears she’s lost forever. In Julia, Emily may have found a link to her mother’s past. But why is everyone trying to discourage Emily’s growing relationship with the handsome and mysterious son of Mullaby’s most prominent family? Emily came to Mullaby to get answers, but all she’s found so far are more questions.Is there really a ghost dancing in her backyard? Can a cake really bring back a lost love? In this town of lovable misfits, maybe the right answer is the one that just feels…different.

Oh good! I still haven't read The Sugar Queen OR Garden Spells. I need to catch up. The Girl Who Chased The Moon doesn't even show up on Amazon yet...how can I add it to my wish list?
Whoops! Never mind...I found it on Amazon and added it to my list. Thanks for the heads up! :)
I'm with Missy - I have both of the other novels, but have yet had a chance to read them yet. This one looks great...I am adding to my sidebar as well as my wishlist!
Thanks for the heads up!
Missy and Amy: I won't hound you to read these books -- yet! I'm saving all my persuasive arguments for my review! Just know that you're in for a treat!

This sounds so charming. And another beautiful book cover! Thanks for highlighting this book!
That cover is stunning!
I have both her first books - bought them just the other day, but I still need to read them. Love the cover of her next book. Hopefully, I'll get the other two read before next March.
I've loved both her books. This one was initially to be published this fall, but a few months back they delayed it. disappointing to have to wait LOL
I loved her first two books and really look forward to this one. Great pick!
good thing it doesn't come out for a while--it will give me time to read Allen's first two books!
Oooh, what a wonderful WOW choice! Of course I hate to have to wait for it but I love her books and it sounds like it will be worth the wait.
I loved Garden Spells, but have yet to read The Sugar Queen. This sounds like a great read as well. I just love the covers of her books!
