Summary: great for bookclubs!
Comment: This is the kind of book that busy women can leave on their kitchen table or bedside table or briefcase. It is the kind of book that you can dip into for an always thought provoking, sometimes humorous, often touching read. My bookclub is going to read it, and we are going to do our own day diaries and share them out loud with one another. I think this book has made me feel linked to the community of women in a new way. A book to pass on.

Summary: A novel in every page
Comment: I heard one of the editors of this book speak this morning, bought the book, and read it all in the same day. It is absolutely riveting, which is strange, because none of these women has a truly earthshattering day. Yet somehow, each one of these diaries or excerpts is a story in and of itself, and I found myself caught up in the trivialities of their daily lives. From sippy cups and string cheese to chocolate cravings to memorials to lost loved ones, each one of these women has so many stories to tell.
Some ones that stick with me - the newly widowed woman writing her entries to her late husband, the funeral home director going to pick up a dead man and meeting his wife, the president of NOW cuddling with her children, a 60 year-old woman getting her GED, and the barista at Starbuck's with the lovely metaphors for her line of work. And oh so many more.
What is nice about this book is that you could read it in bits and pieces (bathroom reading), or inhale it in one greedy gulp, as I did. I recommend it highly.

Summary: No Nintendo?, WTH!
Comment: I borrowed this book for a friend due she assured me that it was worth, then she told me 'page 146', was underlined "Harrison asks if he may play GameCube. I say no. No GameBoy either....", what the hell !?, poor Harrison.
I must suppose that it is, after all, a good book.
