Fun and Serious Nonfiction and FictionGoodness knows it can be difficult to make 'me' time when you're doing the most important job on the planet. Nonetheless, here's a quick round-up of very good recent books for your recreational reading enjoyment. Some are laugh-at-yourself fun; some are more serious. Others provide a look-back by older moms or they have something to say about mothering from the many women in our children's lives.
All of these titles come highly recommended by local moms, both younger and (ahem...) more experienced. These and more mom-friendly titles -- written from many different points of view -- are available @ your library.
