    IF you read Confessions of a Scary Mommy, and IF you like it, would you pretty please will a hundred cherries on top post a review on Amazon? You don't have to use your real name, if you don't want to and I would sooooo appreciate it. (You don't need to have purchased it there either; just have an Amazon account.)

    Thank you so much, and I hope you like!!! 

    (And, if you don't, how about skipping the review part?) :)

    I am halfway finished with mine and will be investing in copies for my 3 daughters so they will be prepared for my grandchildren someday.

    100 cherries isn't enough. You really DO get it. Thank you for the book.

    I am almost done. My only complaint is that.... I'm almost done! I love, love, love it. I have to ration it out, try to make it last longer so I have something to look forward to, because otherwise I could read it in one sitting!

    Mine isn't in yet.. but I SAW it. Mine is supposed to be here tomorrow.. according to the tracker, we are in the same town. Is it illegal to rob the post office of my own mail?

    I may have to set up an Amazon account, just to post a review! I got my copy at B&N, but they don't have to know that! Awesome job on the book, I can relate to just about every personal story you have, thank you!

    I got my book the other day but so far have only had time to read the first chapter....and I love it so far. I already wrote a review, a great one of course, because I know it will only get better!!!

    Bought my third book tonight cuz I basically gotta share with EVERY SINGLE woman I know that ever thought of having kids...you had 55 reviews on amazon all five star. I haven't finished the book but I love it and plan to share it with every single new/ever thought of being/ ever had been mommy I know. Jill, you did a big thing and when it is all said and done, you did it out of honesty...and that is why you deserve every single bit of success/$$$ that comes your way. DO NOT ever feel like you don't deserve every good thing comes your way. You have changed the lives of many in a positive and honest way. Hope you never lose sight of that success.

    @angel21376 I'm in KY too in Louisville. @scarymommy doesn't have any dates listed near here yet, but Louisville at Derby time is the place to be for a party and usually perfect weather; hint hint ;)

    Just got the book this evening (thank you @silentscreamer! Again! Lol!) And could not put it down until I was done with it. It is perfect! (Well, you could have added 50 more chapters. I would have been totally ok with that too). Will write a review tomorrow for sure! And then start reading it again, a little slower this time :-D

    Done! 

    Confessions of a Scary Mommy is a must read for moms with a sense of
    humor! If you can't laugh at yourself save your money! But if you are
    taking motherhood with a grain of salt, treat yourself to something
    "only a mother could love"! If you need a taste of Scary Mommy humor,
    check out her website or follow her on Twitter! It's what motherhood is
    all about.
