100 Things I Hate About Pregnancy, by Kate Konopicky

Well, as some of you may already know, my husband and I are planning to expand our family and I often find myself interested in books regarding pregnancy and babies as a result.  During one of my frequent searches through the store on my NookColor I found this book with a slightly different point of view on pregnancy.  The title is actually more negative than the content and it's mostly filled with short humorous chapters and interesting factoids complete with working links to the websites where they were sourced from.  The book is very short (88 pages on my NC), but it's also a lower price ($5.56 on sale from $6.95) and I thought it was fair for what I got.  It was a quick read and I would recommend it for anyone who is expecting, trying to conceive or even friends or family of those who are.

Favorite things:  the humor, the informative tidbits at the end of each chapter, the working links (obviously you need an e-reader though), the rounded perspective on pregnancy and the stand-out cover.

Criticisms:  extremely short and while I said it was fair for the price, I would've just rather paid more for a full book.

Overall:  4 out of 5 stars... I could've given it 5 had it just been longer.
