I don't think I've ever blogged about the sister-duo, Dixie Cash (Pamela Cumbie and Jeffery McClanahan), but let me just say that their books are wickedly funny. (By wicked, I mean "very." LOL)
The first thing that caught my eye was Cash's book's title.
My Heart May Be Broken But My Hair Still Looks Great
...um, awesome!!
Intrigued, I checked the book out, giggling to myself. When I cracked open the spine and started reading - I laughed aloud at the hilarity of Debbie Sue and Edwina.
MYMBBBMHSLG (lmao) was fabulous so then I borrowed the 'prequel' to it: Since You're Leaving Anyway, Take Out the Trash. Oh goodness, who comes up with these amazing titles? It's a wonderful advertising ploy - the titles alone are enough to entice an innocent victim into purchasing the novel!
Their third, one that I haven't read yet, is called I Gave You My Heart But You Sold it Online. I have yet to read because the novel entails the antics of a 12-year old girl... and pre-pubescent teenagers tend to mildly irritate me.
However - here's the reason for the squeal - Cash's fourth novel is out (HOORAY!) and awesomely titled, Don't Make Me Choose Between You and My Shoes. Just for the title... just for the title, I shall read IGYMHBYSIO and then proceed to devour DMMCBYAMS.
So, readers, if you have a niggling for big-haired, hairdressers who also manage a private detective business (The Domestic Equalizers), or hunger for a light-but-hilarious romance, read Dixie Cash.
Note: I heartily recommend MYMBBBMHSLG (the second).
[A review will be coming shortly.]

I have a couple of these in my TBR pile just because the titles caught my attention. Every time I see one on my shelf I crack up, but I haven't read them yet. Mostly because I have the last two in the series and wasn't sure if it was ok to read them out of order.
What do you think? Can I start with the latter two books?
Hi Holly. I think you can probably start with the latter two - I started with the second book in the series and I was fine.
Give the books a try and let me know how it goes. I just reserved the third and fourth books at the library so I'll be able to cuddle in front of a fire and read them. I'm super excited. :)
