I did not always read for pleasure before I became a mother. Granted, in that other life, I was often reading for work; but there were also books I picked up out of a vague sense of obligation. The worthy literary prize-winner that made me think I was missing something. The navel-gazing 'must-read' I endured whilst inwardly rolling my eyes. Now that I spend my days placating small people, I no longer have the time, patience or tolerance to read for any reason other than to please myself. Whether listening to an audiobook at 2am as I feed the baby or taking five minutes with a paperback whilst my toddler play-dohs, I want nothing less than maximum reading pleasure. For this issue of Crib Notes I have selected five novels that come with a 100% guarantee of enjoyment. I hope you find something here that you love.
