Return to Huckleberry Hill comes out tomorrow, and I am so excited! In celebration of the book release, I am posting Anna and Felty’s top ten quotes from the book. Enjoy! And be sure to pick up Return to Huckleberry Hill at most online retailers and many in-store retailers.
#10 Anna: “I just throw this and that into the bowl, and it usually turns out well.”
#9 Anna: “I’ve invented a recipe for peach venison stew and one for Chinese dumplings. If you substitute tongue for the pork, it makes them nice and chewy.”
#8 Anna: “Barbara has an extra toe on her left foot, but none of us has ever loved her less because of her little deformity.”
#7 Anna: “Since Reuben saved your life, we might be able to talk him into marrying you.”
#6 Anna: “Eva Raber is as quiet as a bowl of potatoes.”
#5 Felty: “I attracted your mammi’s attention with the license plate game. We used to sit by the stop sign on the highway and watch for license plates every Saturday. Annie had never known such excitement.”
#4 Anna: “You’re wrapped up in yourself and you don’t think things through very well, but you’re my grandson and I couldn’t love anybody better. How will we ever get you a wife if you throw perfectly nice girls out of my house?”
#3 Anna: “Melvin likes my rice, bacon, and apricot salad. I took some to him when he had a cold, and he was truly speechless.”
#2 Anna: “Now, Felty dear. How is the license plate game going to help Melvin and Dorothy?”
Felty: “Leave that to me. All I know is that Virginia is for Lovers, Alabama is the Heart of Dixie, New Mexico is the Land of Enchantment, and Ohio is the Heart of It All. That’s romantic enough for me.”
#1 Anna: “Now we’ve got bigger fish to fry, Felty. No resting on our laurels.”
Felty: “I didn’t even know we had laurels.”
Can’t wait to read this one. This has been one of my favorite series. Just love Felty and Anna.
Thank you, Susan. I am so excited. It’s very romantic.
“Virginia is for Lovers” inspired us. We went down to Virginia and were married there almost 37 years ago. Felty is on to something.
I love the way your sense of fun is showing in the stories.
And, it is nice to have such a fun portrayal of all age groups.
Kathleen,
Yes! The license plate game can change your life. 🙂
Oh my………Anna and Felty are the best! Did you base those two characters on anyone you know?
Jaqueline, Anna and Felty are loosely based on my own parents. My mom is a real go-getter and my dad often goes along for the ride. 🙂
Your home must have been a load of laughs!
Yes! We had a lot of fun. 🙂
Anna and Felty makes the Huckleberry Hill series a delight to read. I’ve read each one and was glad to read Return to Huckleberry Hill as part of your tour with Celebrate Lit. Congratulations, Jennifer, on another 5 Star story.
Thank you, Marilyn. I love Anna and Felty. Return to Huckleberry Hill was so much fun to write. I hope you love it!
Anna and Felty are two of my favorite characters ever! I know any Huckleberry Hill book is going to be great because of them. And I think of Felty’s license plate game any time we travel. Thanks so much for sharing your special gift with us, your readers!
Thank you, Pam. I still play the license plate game every year. Felty and I have that in common. 🙂
