The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy by Vicki Iovine

I recommend buying this book the minute you find out that you're pregnant. It tells you all the "lies" of pregnancy (lamaze works, you won't gain weight in your face, etc) & all the things that the doctor won't tell you. I laughed out loud many times while reading this book. It really makes you more at ease about pregnancy because Vicki doesn't take herself too seriously. So many pregnancy books focus on all the "do's & don'ts" of pregnancy and can be really scary. This book is more of a "relax, we realize you feel like aliens have invaded your body but it's going to be okay......really!".

5 stars.....highly, highly recommend it!

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

"The Lovely Bones" was our latest Book Club read. It is a difficult book to read emotionally, though I think it is well written from a different perspective than most books on death. This is the story of a 14 year old girl who is murdered. The story is told from her point of view. She watches from heaven as her family tries to deal with the tragedy that has fallen upon them. She also has to deal with the realization that she will never get to grow up.

I would definitely recomend this book though it is quite depressing at times.

Sorry it's been so long
