You've Been Volunteered by Laurie Gelman, 304 pages

You've Been Volunteered: A Class Mom Novel
This is the follow-up book to Gelman's debut, Class Mom. As a class mom myself, I found both of these books hilarious. Main character Jen's take on surviving the school year as a parent had me actually laughing out loud. If you need a light-hearted, easy read- these are the books for you!

The Stranger Inside by Lisa Unger, 384 pages

The Stranger Inside
The Stranger Inside by Lisa Unger is a psychological thriller about Rain Winter, a former journalist turned stay-at-home mom. Rain was almost abducted as a twelve-year-old but managed to escape- her friend's weren't so lucky. Rain has locked away the pain and trauma that she survived, but is forced to face the demons of her past when recent murders seem eerily connected to her friends. 
I really enjoyed this book and thought it was fast paced and a great introduction to my spooky reads that I'm planning on finishing this fall. 

Stay Sexy & Don't Get Murdered by Georgia Hardstark and Karen Kilgariff,304 pages

Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered: The Definitive How-To Guide
Stay Sexy & Don't Get Murdered is a memoir by the creators and hosts of the podcast My Favorite Murder. I recently became addicted to the podcast so I knew I had to read their book. Georgia and Karen are really interesting, hilarious people and the book was a great mixture of being both hilarious but also extremely deep. I don't think that you'd enjoy this book if you weren't a fan of the podcast, so I definitely recommend reading it if you are!
