Bookworm Cafe: *Release Blitz* #MomFail Anthology

Cover Design: MadHat Books

Release Date: July 25, 2017

Synopsis

Everyone just stop for one bleeping minute so we can all get real with each other. Being a mom is some tough $#!†. You're constantly wearing questionable substances that make you ask, "is this chocolate or ... oh, crap ..." and your purse is merely a receptacle for three-week-old snacks and broken crayons. Let's be honest ... even when we're doing this “mom” thing right, we're somehow doing it completely wrong. Pardon us while we dust off our collective Mother of the Year trophy and proudly present you with an epic anthology of #MOMFAILS. *Stories inspired by real life (unless you’re a cop, then it’s all complete fiction). Names and situations have been changed to protect the guilty (and by guilty, we mean the moms). Because motherhood is a battlefield and we're all just trying to survive by any means necessary. Featuring this amazing lineup: Alissa York, A.M. Willard, BL Berry, Carina Adams, Claudia Burgoa, Crystal Burnette, Dylan Allen, Faith Andrews, Gia Riley, J.A. DeRouen, Kate Anslinger, Leddy Harper, LK Collins, LL Collins, Marie James, Piper Rayne, Riann C. Miller, Shari J. Ryan, Stephanie Rose, Stephie Walls, SM West, TL Swan, Teresa Michaels, and foreword written by: Nicole Kane Knepper.

My Reviews:

Watch Me Tip by AM Willard

4 out of 5 stars

I could relate to several things in this laugh out loud story. I've definitely been there with the car seat tip over. It's the most horrifying thing in the world while it is happening and you feel like the worst mom ever, but you can't help but laugh as you look back on it (years) later. I've also been there with the leaky boobs in the middle of the store because there is a crying baby nearby. So embarrassing!

Okayest Mom Ever by Gia Riley

4 out of 5 stars

Okay, so I will admit that Hunter's reaction to MomFail#3 would have most definitely been the same reaction that my husband would have. Ugh. Men! Right? haha This is something else that you just can't help but laugh about when looking back on it.

Afternoon Delight by BL Berry

5 out of 5 stars

I could totally relate to Tara and Cameron with trying to plan alone time together. That's such a hard thing to do when you have small kids and it doesn't really get any easier as they get older either. I'm looking forward to meeting Henley and Jeff in Birthquake! This is sure to be a laugh out loud book, just like this story was.

Return Policy by Leddy Harper

4 out of 5 stars

Oh my goodness, this story was absolutely hilarious! I've totally been there with the walking through the store or other public place with a questionable substance on your clothes. The situation the mom in this story ended up in would have been so scary but funny at the same time! I couldn't even imagine.

The Professor and the Doofus by JA DeRouen
5 out of 5 stars
I really loved this story. I totally agree with the fact that our children are the professors and we are the students. We have absolutely no idea what we're doing as we go into this parenting thing, but our kids teach us along the way. ;) Also, great and heart-warming lesson by the Professor! I just want to be me, too.

Your Mom Does What? by Faith Andrews
5 out of 5 stars
Oh my goodness, I laughed so hard while reading this story. It was absolutely hilarious. Jessa found herself in an absolutely humiliating situation but at least it all turned out okay in the end. ;) Oh, and I completely agree...bribery works every single time!

How Spoiled is Rotten? by Stephanie Rose
5 out of 5 stars
I loved this story so much! It's just a reminder that no matter how much we feel like we are failing at this parenting thing, the one thing (and the most important thing) that we are all doing right is that we love our kids with all our heart and just want what's best for them! <3
