Baby ER

I enjoyed this piece of "medical journalism".  If you are a NICU nurse and read this, keep in mind it is 10years old and things are a little different now.....for instance, it's not uncommon for a hospital to have nitric now.  Apparently when the book was written there really were only a few hospitals with approval for it. Who knew?

Bad Mother

At times hysterically funny, and then at times sad and brutally honest.  I really enjoyed this book because I feel like it gave a more realistic look at parenting in these times, warts and all. Sometimes knowing what parents are dealing with can help you work with them.

Surviving Your Stupid Stupid Decision to go to Grad School

LOVED IT!!!  Geared more towards those going for their doctorates, but I recommend it to anyone in grad school or anyone who went to grad school.  It will have you cracking up because so much of it is so TRUE.  I picked this up randomly in the bookstore. Once I read this line and started laughing, I had to read the whole thing:  "The abstract forces you to write in twenty lines what you're about to write in twenty pages.  It also makes you wonder what the point is of those twenty pages if you can summarize everything so nicely in twenty lines."....MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY! LOL!

Sundays at Tiffany's

I don't really know what to think about this book.  It's like James Patterson is trying to be Nicholas Sparks or he really loves a certain movie with Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage. Either way anyone can finish this book in a day or two.  It's 300pages  but has short 2-3page chapters and middle school font.  Now back to non-fiction.

Diaper Free

Definitely by far one of the most interesting books I read this year.  Seriously!  Of course you would have to have an interest to even pick this book up, but I think anyone with an open mind to various parenting styles could enjoy it.  In my line of work, I figure it's good to know what parents are reading/doing out there.  Maybe it will make me a better practitioner in the long run.
