Check it out: I'm "flashlight worthy"!

by Sierra on May 13, 2009 · 10 comments

I have an article up on Great Memoirs for New Moms”, on a blog called Flashlight Worthy Books.

I love the idea of their blog: assembling lists of books so good you can’t put them down, on a variety of topics. I also love the execution; I’ve linked to them a few times because their lists usually are as good as they say they are. It’s an honor to write for them, and you should check it out.

One book I did not include on my list of mommy memoirs is Heather B. Armstrong’s new book, It Sucked and then I Cried. This is because I have not read it yet. Based on the quality of her blog and the press her book has gotten, I think it likely to be very good. Flashlight worthy even. I’m looking forward to reading it.

Oh, what a wonderful list. I love the books on it I’ve read, and the others I want to go read right now even though my tiny girl is already three.

They’ve asked me to do another one. I was thinking of doing a “What to Read When You’re Expecting” list, and one for mom’s of older kids.

Yes, please write those now. I could have used a few more “this one saved my sanity” books for the first year of motherhood, and they still wouldn’t hurt!

Have you read Momma Zen? I’ve read about half of it and found it pretty terrific but had to return it to the library. I’m curious how the Zen messages in it would sit with people who are actively working in other traditions.
