Wizards! Children&#39;s/YA lit! Great writing! Small books that I could hold open with one hand and not clobber my infant with!<br />I also loved Robin McKinley&#39;s Dragonhaven. Not her best, by any means but DRAGONS all over the place and perils of parenthood (not the child-snatching kind-- the you don&#39;t get any sleep even if you&#39;re foster-parenting a dragon kind) that spoke to my love-my-baby-but-I&#39;d-still-like-sleep and dragon loving post-partum self.Sparkling Squirrelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10899640164757220074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643084351756999962.post-91079818886448131092012-01-18T02:51:35.706-08:002012-01-18T02:51:35.706-08:00*virtually high fives back*<br /><br />Next time someone tells me how Victorian novels are hard and dense and whatnot, I&#39;m give them your arguments (which to me make perfect sense!).

I had my Gleeful face on nearly the entire time. It&#39;s not only good for postpartum brain, but also for &#39;I used to do this thing called reading and maybe I liked it?&#39; brain.<br /><br />So. On to something with wizards who are detectives, perhaps? Amy talked about them again last week and AGAIN I was all &quot;I really need to read those.&quot;alitareadshttp://alitareads.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643084351756999962.post-11507749843962458262012-01-17T15:13:53.505-08:002012-01-17T15:13:53.505-08:00Dude. It took me literally three weeks to finish the first book I started after my daughter was born and that book? Was the Sweet Valley High sequel. <br /><br />You win at parenting.
