I guess I must be the odd man out. I am not much of a book reader at all. I read to my children, but just Dr Suess or the board books, that teach ABC’s, colors or numbers.

I just wish I had more time to devote to it!

I still have to complete my Meme…

Hey, you got to review a book – no fair! It sounds like a really great pregnancy book… I hated those What To Expect books, too, and my midwife actually demanded that I throw out my copy.
Your book choices, with the exception of Stephen King, are all favorites of mine! Maybe the Narnia books will work better as a read-aloud when Becca is a bit older, and you can see some of their magic through her.

I’m so glad that they contacted you for the book. That’s really cool. I’ve got a few more reviews coming. It is indeed a great eye-opener book.

I like the Dr Sears books a lot. Good for advice you can really use. I also liked Happiest Baby On THe Block. By the way, how old is Becca? There are some great books out there about becoming a big sister that you might want to share with her.

oh i LOVE blog swag books!! I’m in teh midst of reading one.

i like that you mention teh book doesnt make you feel guilty for not living teh ideal organic lifestyle. We strive to eat and do better organically and just choosing less pollutatnt laden things but I’m not rich nor fdo i have the time to be THAT dedicated.

WIth both my girls i read Dr Sears books and while i plan to reread for this pregnancy I nmow have figured out how to do so with a grain of salt rather than a boatload of guilt.

here’s wishing you much more blog swag and glad your pregnancy seems to be humming along

That book sounds interesting – I’m going to have to see if it is at my library.

Thanks for playing along w/the book meme I read The Cell and loved it! I couldn’t put it down and the story really grabs you right from the beginning. Maybe put Narnia on the shelf for awhile and read Cell instead

I have those 2 pregnancy books you mentioned. I also liked The Girlfriend’s Guide To Pregnancy – I just liked her wit and humor and that it wasn’t so clinical.

That sounds awesome – I think I’ll read it.

I didn’t like the What to Expect…series at all. I liked the more scientific ones – like obstetrical textbooks. No scare tactics – just the facts!

For baby books, I LOVE The Happiest Baby on the Block!
