Dave Barry

Rodale Books, 2000

THE ONLY BOOK YOU WILL NEED......
I have always been a fan of Dave Barry. When my baby's mama got pregnant I spent the better part of three months in a drunken haze. "WHAT WILL I DO?!" I constantly asked my friends. None of them knew. I had just barely turned twenty one and none of my friends were or ever had been in the same boat. Truth of the matter is, nobody can tell you what to do in this circumstance. The object is to ...

Kim Rinehart

Bright Yellow Hat, 2008

Like talking to a good friend about pregnancy!
I loved, loved this book! While other pregnancy books can be a little dry--and sometimes scary!!--this one is neither and I found myself relating to almost everything in it. The author has a good, humorous tone that I really liked. It is like talking to a good friend about pregnancy, one who doesn't judge and tells it like it is! Also, she describes pretty much everything in a "normal" prgnancy ...

Susan Magee

Quirk Books, 2006

I LOVE this book...
I'm only 11 weeks into this book and loving it. After reading all of the medical books surrounding pregnancy, this book is based on the literal experience. At some points comedic, and others sympathetic with your feelings. The best use for this book is reassurance. When you need to remember your crazy emotions are normal, or that your S.O. isn't the only one acting weird, this book reminds you. ...

Julie Miller

Harlequin, 2007

Romantic AND Funny
The guy has a sense of humor, and it really made the book one to remember. The characaters were well rounded. You got to know them and love them. I loved the main characters and I loved the plot. There was a lot of action in the book but it didn't take the whole thing over. The romance and the plot were well balanced. The only thing that I will say about the book that I didn't like was the fact ...

"The Women's House" in Don't Cramp My Style

I became totally immersed in the story and felt that I was right there observing the young girl and her family. The story involves the behaviors and customs of young Native Americans girls as they reach puberty and begin their first blood. It was written through the eyes of ...

William Wilkoff

Broadway, 2003

Helped me discipline without spanking
Probably the best thing I got out of this book for use with my toddler was the assurance that time-outs in the bedroom wouldn't spoil that place as forever associated with punishment thereafter. With this to comfort me, I was able to consistently offer and enforce time-outs as a consequence for my toddler's discipline, and she now alters her behavior with the threat of a time-out, takes it ...
