Forget about those books everyone buys when they see double lines on the pregnancy test - this is the one you want if you are looking for the truth about motherhood. These Mommy Bloggers discuss everything from hemorrhoids to poop with wit and heart. Sure to liven up any baby shower.
This book is a reminder that all of us have father issues - even people with the best of dads don't always win. Some of these stories will make you laugh out loud, others will leave you needing a tissue. There are great stories about what it is like to be a dad, have a dad, and even lose a dad (I wanted to hug Maggie Mason after reading her story, "What I Remember").
Jennette Fulda doesn't want to be your diet guru. You won't find menus or lists of super foods or exercise plans. It isn't a poor me sob tale either. This book is about what it means to be obese and Jennette's journey to no longer be such. Along the way she finds her voice which is both honest and beautiful. I'd recommend this book to both those who struggle with their weight as well as those who have people in their lives that do.

This book is nothing like I expected, and I loved it. It kept taking twists and turns as each narrator (were there really 35) tells his or her side of this story. The writing is truly amazing.

This book is more of a page turner than I had expected. It will make you think about what it means to be a friend as well as a parent. In the end though I think it is about how sometimes things turn out not as planned, but that can still be okay.
