Bringing Up Bébé: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting by Pamela DruckermanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A fun and funny parenting book. I also found many things quite informative. I loved the author's take on the differences between American parenting and French parenting. In truth, I think the French are doing some things WAY better, and I plan to use some of their methods when our baby arrives!
The Winter Sea by Susanna KearsleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book! At first, I didn't like switching back and forth between Carrie's story and the story she was writing, but as the story went on, I wanted to hear more and more of both of them.
For the record, these were both audio books from Audible, I am just so lazy at home lately that I'm lucky that I even make dinner most nights.
The Complete Book of Breastfeeding: The Classic Guide by Sally Wendkos OldsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was given to me by a friend who breastfed both of her children. I am planning to nurse my son, and this is an AMAZING resource. While I ultimately didn't read every single page (I skipped the chapter for dads and skimmed the chapter about special circumstances), I found the information I DID read to be very helpful. I feel much more informed about my decision, and I may have also dog eared pages for quick reference later.
If you are pregnant and considering breast feeding, I would HIGHLY recommend this book!

I borrowed an eBook from the library this month called The Tudor Rose by Margaret Campbell Barnes, and despite my love for all things English history, I just couldn't get into it. I was basically forcing myself to read at least one chapter a night. When I realized I was forcing myself to read it, I gave up. I still wasn't halfway through the book. I just don't think I enjoyed the author's writing style as much as I have other authors who write similar historical fiction (i.e. Philippa Gregory or Allison Weir).
