I am looking for books centering on big girls. I have found a few and tagged them, but as I said only a few. Any help would be great! ~Jennifer~

Kathryn Lilley has a set of 3 books called the Fat City Mysteries with a plus sized heroine. A Killer Workout, Makeovers Can be Murder and a third whose title has escaped me. They were light and fluffy reads.

I agree with (ODeb)., great choices. I laughed out loud so many times reading Conversations with the Fat Girl.

Enjoy....

Jemima J. by Jane Greene was GREAT! I loved it, have it on my bookshelf.

The mystery series starring plus sized Savannah Reid by G. A. McKevett
is another favorite, easy reading, southern girl, great cook, ex cop, brassy, bossy, and beautiful.

The mystery series starring Desiree Shapiro by Selma Eichler
is another one where cooking and eating with a plus sized heroine is first and formost, and very entertaining, I loved both of these series.
