For the Moms—A Mother's Day Edition of BookSnacks

Vol. 16 1/2 A Bookish Gift Guide for Mother's Day

I don’t normally do gift guides for holidays that aren’t Christmas but I kept thinking of books that would make great gifts for all kinds of moms so here we are and it’s happening.

There are just 10 books here so not an unmanageable amount and hopefully you find at least one for someone you’re thinking of this Mother’s day.

A book your mother will love if she’s recently rediscovered her freedom and wants to travel the world (getting this for my mom):

And if your mother loves to gawk at beautiful beaches, try this one:

If the mother you’re celebrating is waist-deep in the young children stage of motherhood: (this book is well-loved in our house)

If the mother you’re celebrating needs some parenting encouragement, NOT necessarily advice. This is a positive uplifting view of our roles as grownups:

If the mother you’re celebrating loves nostalgia, fiction, and wants read a story of mother and daughters bonding over love and loss and handsome celebrity crushes:

If the mother you’re celebrating is a millennial who loves to wax poetic about the ‘good old days’ of AIM and testing and girlhood:

If the mother you’re celebrating had a mother who did not mother her very well😬:

If your mom loves historical fiction with a dash of romance:

I’m adding another to this list because I love this book so dearly.

If the mother you’re buying for needs a lighthearted but feel-good romance:

Hopefully you found something here that one of the mother’s in your life would love!

In about a week and a half the next episode of the podcast is going to come out and it’s a special one! As many of your little ones might be spending a lot of time at home for the next three months due to SUMMER, I’m going to go through the list of my favorite children’s book-to-screen adaptations! And talk about The Idea of You. And Turtles All the Way Down. EEEK!
