Summary: good book--for some good laughs
Comment: This is the most self-indulgent piece of you-know-what I've ever read in my life. I got this book for a present, and I ended up turning to random pages and reading out loud random passages to friends so that we could laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. I'm a first-time mother, and I'm appalled that anyone would think that I could relate to this woman's awful narrative. It's like she just decided to publish her personal journal, thinking that people would enjoy reading it. And I guess some have, but it just wasn't for me!

Summary: Leapin' Lizards- FLB Rocks
Comment: If you're familiar with FLB's books and her writing style, you will thoroughly enjoy this book. I enjoyed her frank honesty about the way some new mothers can obsess about all the important and seemingly unimportant things about their babies. This book does a great job of expressing her growing into her own skin as a new mama.

Summary: A mothers beautiful moments
Comment: "Guarding The Moon" did not surprise me in its beautiful lyrical content which is not unlike that of Block's previous novels. However, this book does take on a different note and feeling to it because it is non-ficiton. Block writes about her babies first year, including the joy of giving birth as well as the changes and adaptions that take place within herself, her family, and of course her baby. More then anything this book is the authors self-song of praise to the birth and life of her daughter. Having a first child makes a woman feel things and think things she hadn't imagined she'd feel or think and Block captures this rather accurately in a series of moments centering around the impact of her baby on her life. While Block explains the hardship that can come with having a new baby, she continuously emphasizes the joy and beauty of having a new spririt in her life.
