Description Concering Books Little Earthquakes
I have to be honest, I really didn't think that I would like this book even though I liked the author all ready. I just like to read about things that aren't my life. I'm a mom and I know what it's like to do raise a child by yourself or feel like you do anways and some of the other struggles that the woman face. So when I read I want to escape my life for that moment in time. This book has changed my mind about that. I read this book and I laughed and I cried and I got pissed off on some of the moms but at the heart of it I really enjoyed this book. Even though this is fiction its still nice to read about things that you have thought about and you feel like you're not alone. I would recommend this book to any woman. It's about motherhood but more importantly it's about the friendship between woman. Great book!

I listened to the story - fine for a beach read. A bit whiny - I felt the people with real drama in their lives seem to manage / handle it better than those with frivolous drama.4.5 stars, easy reading - I had the book on my bookshelf for years...with the library closed I turned to my personal library and was pleasantly surprised and entertained! 😉
Little Earthquakes. Jennifer Weiner. 2004. Washington Square Press. 414 pages. ISBN 0743470109.Little Earthquakes is the third novel by bestselling chick-lit author Jennifer Weiner. When I read Weiner's first novel Good in Bed (2001) several years ago, I knew she was going to be one of those authors (which for me includes Chuck Palahniuk and Tracy Chevalier among numerous others) who produces such amazing work that you just have to read everything they publish. In saying this, I am ashamed that

I listened to abridged version of this book, read by Jennifer Weiner. This is one of those books I wish I could give a 3.5 stars. It really is better than "I liked it" but I'm also not sure that it was 4 star worthy. I ended up rounding down because I think in six months, I won't remember or still be raving about this book.I thought the author did a really great job narrating this book. I think she really made the book extra good. I also really liked the story of the four women. It seemed like
Really enjoyed this novel, which gave a great look at how life-changing motherhood can be by showing a spectrum of experiences. I particularly enjoyed the author's notes at the end about her own experiences becoming a mom and how different it was from her expectations.
"Bye and bye, bye and bye,the moon is half a lemon pie.The mice who stole the other half have scattered star-crums in the sky.Bye and bye,bye and bye,my darling baby, don't you cry.The moon is still above the hill.The soft clouds gather in the sky"....:0)
I'm surrounded by pregnant women, new mothers, and aspiring moms. Everywhere I turn, there's a picture of a belly or a copy of an ultrasound on facebook. At work, I hear the stories of morning sickness and misery from two pregnant co-workers. I spend much of my time planning programs and creating flannelboard figures for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. I'm nowhere near the point of having a child of my own, but I'm barraged by the thought of them. I picked up this book, not knowing what it
