Rush: A Novel | 
pickBeing a Southern sorority girl myself, I was intrigued by this book. I thought it would be a walk down memory lane to my college days. It was, in the remembering of rush and sisterhood. It was eye opening though in that I was not aware of the deplorable lack of benefits for many who work in these giant houses. We did not have houses at my university but I know my sorority does have them all over the United States. This is loosely based in truth!
pickNot what I was expecting at all. I really enjoyed this one! Still glad I waited until my daughter graduated from Ole Miss to read it though!
1. Ole Miss Sorority Recruitment
2. Hmmmm - that's a hard one! Talking to (or texting) at least one of my kids.
3. Probably the summer of 1988. It was the year I met my husband and we both graduated from college - we had our whole life in front of us. It was also about a year before both of our moms fell ill with cancer.

I waited until my daughter graduated from Ole Miss before reading this. Glad I did! This all sounds so familiar!!
I‘ve been meaning to read this for a while. Finally getting to it. It is my #bookspin for May.

pickQuite possibly one of the best books I have read since reading The Help! I didn‘t want it to end!
pickI truly enjoyed this book even though I never took part in Greek life while at college (well, except for going to a couple of their parties 😉)
The day after Christmas. Did not receive any books on my wish list, oh well. I'll read this one instead.
Next up on my reading list.
Just got home from being out of town for two days and I get settled in my reading chair. This is what I see... #catsoflitsy 😻
My hotel room is pretty cool. Getting ready to hang out with my Kindle!
Southern snooty sorority girls? Why, yes, I think I will! 😜
pickWhen I was in college I saw sororities as “paying for friends”, never understanding the rituals girls succumbed to in order to fit in. Still, I‘ve always been intrigued that you could be part of something that could lead to lifelong friendships, especially being only child. This book touches upon the rush process which seems to be far more crucial in the South. However, it‘s a bit misleading bc this book is more about equality than Greek life.
Just read chapter one so far, but I‘m getting The Help meets Greek vibes. Hope I‘m right!
pick4☆Set in the South at Ole Miss where a new pledge class begins their journey in sorority life; Another part of the book is about Miss Pearl housekeeper, the girls her babies whom I adored. Change is needed + the A△B unconscionable traditions will soon be of the past if the girls have a say.
Rush is humorous but heartfelt about hard work, patience + helping others. The message in this is a positive one, BE THE CHANGE you want to see in the world!💫
so-soTold from three perspectives, this novel explores themes of racism, tradition, and family relationships. The writing is solid and each voice is unique. It has a lot of heart and would make for good discussion; however, it‘s just a bit too syrupy sweet/neat and tidy for my taste. It‘s not a pick for me personally, but it‘s a good book that I think many will enjoy.
pick🍭🍭🍭🍭 review is up on my blog. This one was very interesting to me. This book is set at Ole Miss and I am an alumni. Plus my daughter is in a sorority at Ole Miss right now. And one of the characters is from a small town in my county. Very interesting indeed. You can read my full review here https://reecaspieces.com/2018/08/20/rush-by-lisa-patton/

I am loving this book- the Southern setting, Ole Miss college life, the sorority rush process, Miss Pearl the housekeeper who takes care of the Alpha Delt girls- I can‘t put this book down! #LisaPatton #StMartin‘sPress
pickThis is a must-read!! I have a feeling it will get the attention The Help did, and I‘m hoping it will open eyes, hearts, and minds! Rush by Lisa Patton. #Rush #NetGalley
Book mail is the best! Looking forward to this. Being an Ole Miss grad...this should be interesting! @StMartinsPress
So excited to get an ARC (and other goodies) of Rush by Lisa Patton. I‘ve loved her previous novels and am thrilled she has a new book coming out. This one is right up my alley- a Southern novel set at Ole Miss. #tandemliterary #lisapatton
Since I have been sitting in my new ladyboss recliner today, the Duchess gave birth to a prince and has already left the hospital in heels. I haven't made it to the shower, and a giant Blind Pig sandwich will arrive at my front door in 30 minutes. To each her own...
Loved The Dixie Series! So excited about Rush! ❤️ @StMartinsPress
