friday favorites









carpe librum 

seize the book 


Welcome book lovers. Each Friday myself and my BFF Ann from Romancing the Readers
will be briefly featuring various book related topics.

We also blog together on Book Club Thursdays (aka BCT) and on Sundays (sunday spotlight).

Today we are each featuring a book that is a favorite for one reason or another. 

Take a look at my pick:


I love this book for so many reasons, in particular for the humor and the main character Jen Dixon! 

When I finished it, my thought and hope was - MORE PLEASE...and I'm so excited because a follow up novel is finally coming this July!





Jen Dixon is not your typical Kansas City kindergarten class mom—or mom in general. Jen already has two college-age daughters by two different (probably) musicians, and it’s her second time around the class mom block with five-year-old Max—this time with a husband and father by her side. Though her best friend and PTA President sees her as the “wisest” candidate for the job (or oldest), not all of the other parents agree.
From recording parents’ response times to her emails about helping in the classroom, to requesting contributions of “special” brownies for curriculum night, not all of Jen’s methods win approval from the other moms. Throw in an old flame from Jen’s past, a hyper-sensitive “allergy mom,” a surprisingly sexy kindergarten teacher, and an impossible-to-please Real Housewife-wannabe, causing problems at every turn, and the job really becomes much more than she signed up for.
