The Girlfriends’ Guide to Pregnancy
I loved this book so much. She told the good and bad, the up and down and unspoken stuff about pregnancy, from a non-doctor, non-professional point of view. It was a lighthearted read but did give me information that I didn’t know about, and I liked how it told the reader a lot about the emotional aspects of being pregnant. I also laughed out loud several times during this book. I loved the writing style! She went through what happens during the 9 10 months and the birth, and though she had very medicated birth views I still enjoyed reading about it.
Skinny Bitch Bun in the Oven: A Gutsy Guide to Becoming One Hot (and Healthy) Mother!
This book was complete GO VEGAN propaganda. This does not annoy me in general because I like reading propaganda and then take away what I want from it. What did annoy me, is that it doesn’t let the reader know it’s propaganda before they read it. It would suck to be a pregnant woman, chompin on hot wings readin this book and read about how you’re killing your baby by eating the crap you’re eating. It’s a really informative and interesting book, but I think it’s a little irresponsible, or perhaps just inconsiderate of the reader. Especially since pregnant woman go all psycho hormonal (allegedly).
I learned tons about the meat/milk/fish industry and I absolutely LOVED that this book stated sources. That’s my main problem with propaganda books…they just say their side of an issue without giving facts/sources/studies etc to prove their points. These skinny bitches do. Will I go vegan immediately after reading this book? Hell to the no. Am I going to give my kids milk after reading this book? Hell to the no. You pick and choose what you take from any book, ya know. I already told you before that I think I’ll end up vegan one day though… ::shrug:: John’s going to have a cow. (pun intended)
