HOLIDAY HUMOR GIFT SUGGESTIONS
Tuesday, December 13, 2005 at 01:00PM
I am all for great books as the perfect gift for any occasion, every occasion. I have searched out two fabulous gift book suggestions --
by Kathryn S. Mahoney
From The Rebel Housewife to One Madcap Mom...I felt an instant kinship with Kathryn Mahoney. She writes fast-paced, clever essays on universal truths and embarrassing secrets of motherhood -- and the lady is funny. From totally relate-able riffs on Reality TV, modern-day children's birthday parties, and our eerily number-ized society to WYSIWYG Woman (which I whole-heartedly support!), CRACKED AT BIRTH offers fantastic diversion and out-loud laughs to overwhelmed Moms everywhere -- CRACKED AT BIRTH would be a great gift to those women in your life!
SPECIAL HOLIDAY FEATURE: Enjoy a hilarious excerpt from CRACKED AT BIRTH, reprinted with permission, in The Rebel Column: NEXT CHRISTMAS I'LL...
IN THE BEGINNING...
Laughing and Learning in the First Years of Fatherhood
by Tim Bete
And for the Dads on your list...IN THE BEGINNING is the perfect counterpart to CRACKED, with testerone-based POV on the tragedies and triumphs of parenting, with humor -- and inspiration, too.
Tim Bete is a renowned humor columnist (visit www.TimBete.com) and the Director of the Erma Bombeck Writer's Workshop at the University of Dayton (Ohio).
