Kimber here. Gettin’ ready to break out my super-duper, snazzy-jazzy, woniferous and totally amazing canine Happy Dance! Cuz today’s one of my favorites! As in, Mother’s Day! (Don’t make me explain this.)
So, hey! Is your mom like Her Momness? Does she love to read? Is her (or your) idea of paradise a quiet reading nook, a pina colada, and hours of uninterrupted page-turning?
Great! Then your mom will appreciate our Best Books for Mom list. Kimber Tested. Mom Approved!
Kindly note that books don’t necessarily have to focus on a mom to make the cut. Bonus points if they do. But our list is about compelling, captivating reads that mom can enjoy in that quiet nook with her chilled drink and some alone time. So our list is based on – but not strictly limited to – the following criteria:
- Must be an enjoyable, uplifting read (who wants a downer on Mother’s Day? Ack!)
- Superlative writing
- Credible dialogue and a solid, poignant story
- Strong, three-dimensional female characters who learn, develop and grow
- Bonus points if all of the above include a dose of spunk and sass
That being said, Her Momness and I are rushing in where angels fear to tread with our purely subjective, 100% unscientific list of Best Books for Mom on her special day. Let’s go!
