 -  Happy New Year from all of us at Southern Literary Review.  In 2006, you will find Southern Literary Review as committed as ever to finding quality southern fiction, memoirs and creative non-fiction for you to enjoy.  If you asked for books for Christmas and got the ones you wanted, then great--snuggle up under a warm blanket and get to reading. If, however, your mother-in-law bought you a book titled 10 Steps to a Cleaner Home, and you're looking to trade it in for something a little more fun to read, we have some great suggestions.
