The title alone got me. And the cover: Adorbs.
Ten minutes is as long as I can spend trying to get a picture to enlarge on my constantly improving-itself TYPEPAD but you can try and view a bigger picture at Amazon.
And even better are the blurbs, which are pretty dang great:
Praise for Samantha Wilde: “Here’s a talent: when a narrator’s doldrums make a reader laugh out loud. Samantha Wilde’s inkwell must be filled with truth-serum because this brave and funny book gets the postpartum peaks and valleys so very, winningly right.” —Elinor Lipman, author of Then She Found Me “Think of the funniest person you know, give her a baby and a month without sleep, multiply by ten and you've got the incomparable Samantha Wilde rocking the hilariously appalling realities of motherhood and the modern marriage. This book belongs on the bedside table of everyone who's ever been a mother, or had one.” —Karen Karbo, author of The Stuff of Life and How to Hepburn “[This] is the funniest novel I've read in a long, long time. What a treat! Mothers everywhere deserve this book.” —Ellen Meister, author of The Smart One “Samantha Wilde is the irreverent, knowing, laugh-out-loud, brutally honest but most treasured best friend that every new mommy craves and every reader relishes. They should issue this smart, hilarious novel along with newborn onesies and nursing pads.” “Riotously hilarious, unabashedly honest and positively impossible to put down. Samantha Wilde’s debut is a must read for all moms and non-moms alike.” —Jessica Brody, author of The Fidelity Files From what I've read, this sounds like a great present to send an exhausted new mom, or even better, someone like me who gets to sleep through the night but wished there were a book like this when I was falling apart. Here's our interview with Sam Wilde about her debut book:
. IIf I had to offer two bumper sticker explanations for my novel, they’d be “Appearances are deceiving” and “Mean people suck.” Tell me what your slogans would be, and why. C Caution: Exhausted Mother at the Wheel Mothers are people too 2. Your two favorite movies over the past twelve months and why? Movies? Do they still exist? Do people still go to them? I think I’ve seen a few I hated. But the popcorn was good. 3. What was the one thing you learned in getting your book published that you were really surprised to find out? You never get to the top of the mountain. Getting published is not a lighting bolt. Life does not change in any substantive way. You never arrive at the place you long to be from outward things. The inward changes are cool, though. I feel like, impossibly, I am learning to be more gracious. 4. If you had to pick one and only one condition (beyond computer or pen and paper) that would allow you to write would it be: a. solitude b. caffiene c. sleep d. food e. sex or f. ______. Sleep. Yes, sleep. 5. Do you have a favorite genre? If so, who are your three favorite writers? If not, who are your three favorite writers and how have they influenced your work? I am a cross-genre reader. I don’t have three favorite writers—that’s too few! I adore Anne Lammott as well as Alice Hoffman, Cynthia Kaplan, Jen Lancaster, Caitlin Flanagan, Oscar Wilde, among many, many others, and in no particular order.
—Pamela Redmond Satran, author of Babes in Captivity
