Crib Notes: Books to Stay Up Late With 2

Whether you're climbing into bed at the end of a long day of parenting, or nightfeeding a newborn, here are four engrossing novels to sink into.

Crib Notes is back!

For this long overdue issue, I wanted to go back to basics and recommend the kind of writing which I have sought out most in my six years of motherhood: sure-handed storytelling that sweeps you up, soothes you, entertains you and nourishes your mind. Perhaps you’re in the early days of motherhood and reading through the nightfeeds. Perhaps you are climbing into bed at the end of a long day of toddler-herding, or re-adjusting to the rigamorale of the school term (I still can’t remember which days my son does PE). Wherever you are in your motherhood journey, I hope you will find something here that you love sinking into during your hard-earned, well-deserved reading time.
