There is no text and no duck as the description claims, but this book has great oversized pictures of babies and their animal counterparts. Very cute early picture book!

Mystery, humor & a peek at WWII America. Dallas does it again. This is really a story of 2 friends and the small town folks they grew up with. The only thing missing from this book were the quilts.

This book is like the cliff notes version of all the other pregnancy volumes I read. The tips are fun and the drawings are great. I really felt like a hot mama after finishing this quick read.

This book is comprised of funny little definitions of common words that illustrate the difference between husband and wife communication. Great for newlyweds and funny for not-so newlyweds.

This book was silly, a little heart felt and sometimes left me giggling for days. These "True Tales" are all written by mommies for the new mom or mom-to-be. They made me laugh about the things I went through and cringe about the things I never witnessed. Overall a good read and very fun.


This Christmas: Vacation / The Second Wife of Reilly / Mistletoe and Holly

I ordered this book because I love anything written by Jane Green. Her story was good, but the real surprise was how hooked I was by Liz Ireland. She is now on my must read list. All three stories are great and this is a nice quick read. Each author also includes an excerpt of another book which I loved.

Beautiful book! Gene Wilder is even better at writing than he is at acting. I could not put this book down. This book is about a concert violinist in 1903 who has to visit a "health spa" to recover from a nervous break down. The people he meets there change his life.

These books are great reads. The stories are heartfelt and funny tales of growing up in a southern family. Very enjoyable and so much more in depth than the movie.
