Forget Chick Lit – I’m all about Mom Lit now. I’d love to hear others’ recommendations for some light, fun reading (we have enough tears in my house when it’s time to stop bike riding at dusk), but here are a few that I’ve really enjoyed now I'm a mom.
Risa Green, Notes from the Underbelly
Risa Green, Tales from the Crib
Geraldine Brooks, Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague (OK this isn’t a light, fun read, but it’s a good one, especially from a mom’s perspective. HOWEVER! I don’t actually recommend this one when hormones are at their worst. I mean, you know people are going to die from the title, but it gets really, really sad – and then it gets better).
P.S. Don’t rush to get these right away, Kim! I didn’t actually start reading “real” books again until my kid was 2!
P.P.S. (not P.S.S., right?) It's Barb from Smith!

Reading real books is HARD with little ones around. I'm into nonfiction these days -- with less plot it's easier to read in disparate chunks over longer periods of time.
I'm reading Carl Bernstein's bio of Hilary, "A Woman in Charge". It's interesting from the mom lit, perspective for sure.
