The Girlfriends' Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood
Vicki Iovine
Perigee Trade, 1997
Spunky and Fun
+ Sooo funny!!!
+ A must for New Moms who aren't only Moms but Women too!
Iovine really hits on the way new moms can feel with this one. I read it about 3 weeks after my first baby and I was very pleased to humorously read about the same trials I was having. It also gave me a really good heads up for the coming months and I felt a lot more prepared for what was to come.

Goodnight Nobody: A Novel
Jennifer Weiner
Washington Square Press, 2006
A fun spin on mystery
+ Loved this Weiner Book!
I laughed at the antics of the main character & found her crime-solving entertaining.
