Loss and Love

Always Sisters: A Story of Loss and Love by Saira Mir

August 16, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When you see a book with the title Always Sisters: A Story of Loss and Love a lot can go through your mind, as I know it did for me. Which was mostly what we were to deal with in the case of death. Disease? Accident? An older sibling taking their own life? Not to mention, is this going to be a straight forward or a “sappy” read. For me that made the process of reading this book perhaps more interesting than the book itself. […]

Pregnancy Blues

Beware the Woman by Megan Abbott

June 19, 2023 by Jake Leave a Comment

First and foremost: if pregnancy and/or pregnancy loss triggers you in any way, give this one a hard pass. The best thing that can be said about Beware the Woman — another great tale from the great Megan Abbott — is that you can easily classify it in multiple genres. Domestic suspense, noir, even horror. This is definitely a book about body horror and the horror of women living under the shadow of patriarchal violence. It is so many things but most of all, it’s a helluva […]

Charlotte is a good person

What We Forgot to Bury by Marin Montgomery

December 30, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

Man I seem to read a lot of books where people are straight up lying to each other. And if they’re not straight up lying, they’re gaslighting, so it’s either just as bad or worse. This book has a combo of both! You know something bad happened to Charlotte in her past, because she’s scared to leave the house, jumps at any sound, and leaves her basement door locked up tightly. We of course don’t get the story right away, but in short snippets throughout […]

Of Lies and Men

Girl, Forgotten by Karin Slaughter

June 22, 2022 by Zirza Leave a Comment

On a balmy spring eve, eighteen year old Emily Vaughn zips herself into her prom dress with some difficulty, then walks over to her high school to confront the people she thought were her friends. It’s 1982 and Emily is about eight months pregnant. Reviled by her classmates, she is soon thrown out of the prom. Emily disappears on her way home; her dead body is found in a dumpster next morning.  Some forty years later, US Marshall Andrea Oliver, fresh off the academy, is […]

Getting One In Under the Wire

Pregnancy Day by Day by DK

December 26, 2021 by Tracy 1 Comment

When you’re newly pregnant, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the quantity of pregnancy and baby books that are out there. There were two that I ended up using the most, one of them being Pregnancy Day by Day, published by DK and edited by Maggie Blott. I love the format of this book. They really do go day by day for the pregnancy, starting with day 1 of your menstrual cycle and going up to 40 weeks (although I stopped reading around 38 weeks […]

Old Wives Tales Vs. Science

Expect Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom is Wrong, and What You Really Need to Know by Emily Oster

March 19, 2021 by Ale 10 Comments

After much wondering if it was even possible, hubby and I are expecting. And while I’d done quite a bit of research on the process and probability of conception, I’d done virtually no research on what to do after you managed to succeed (mostly because I didn’t think we would). Days after my second positive test, I stared at the coffee pot, vaguely remembering my pregnant friends abstaining from caffeine, fish, deli meats and a hoard of other things. I stood in a first-trimester fatigue […]
