My bedside is very full. What are you reading? Read any of these? The bottom 4 are on their way to the bookshelf to store. Currently on Raising Girls and The Light Between Oceans.
Ooooo.... I am reading some trashy rubbish on my kindle. Every night I say I will download something worth my brain cells but every night when I just want to fall into bed and not think too much I return to the rubbish lol. Somebody gave me a talking book which is quite good, I must return it... P.S. We snatched up Matt's parents Raising Boys which they were tossing to the op shop, perhaps we need to get Raising Girls to cover our bases?! I figured if Matt's mum and dad read it and raised him it must be pure gold :)
Have read Ruth Park and Chris McDougall's Born to Run. Though I think when my brood were similarly aged to yours, sleep was a far more inviting option than reading. Haven't read any of the parenting books, just stick with the amazing super-power of common sense and go with your gut.
My bedside has a stack of books waiting to be read as well, but not any of these...
Currently reading 'The Infernal Devices' series by Cassandra Clare. Teen fiction, but I like reading what my Beautiful Girl reads, and it helps me to recommend books to the kids at school. Tasha

Did the no-cry sleep solutions work? I am co-sleeping but would love to get her out of my bed;)
