"Record Collecting for Girls is an invitation for all of you stereophiles (who happen to be female), to make your own top-five lists, and then, armed and ready with the book's fun facts, to argue their merits to the ever-present boys' club of music snobs in your life." --Sarahbeth Purcell, author of Love Is the Drug and This Is Not a Love Song You never leave home without your iPod. You're always on the lookout for new bands, and you have strong opinions when it comes to music debates, like Beatles vs. Stones. For years, you've listened to guys talk about all things music, but the female perspective has been missing. Until now. Drawing on her personal life as a music enthusiast, as well as her experience working at MTV and in radio, Courtney E. Smith explores what music can tell women about themselves--and the men in their lives. She takes on a range of topics, from the romantic soundtracks of Romeo and Juliet to the evolution of girl bands. She shares stories from her own life that shed light on the phenomenon of guilty pleasures and the incredible power of an Our Song. Along the way, she evaluates the essential role that music plays as we navigate life's glorious victories and its soul-crushing defeats. Finally, here is a voice that speaks to women--because girls get their hearts broken and make mix tapes about it, too. "Courtney Smith has smarts and sass in spades. Her insights are as hilarious as they are thoughtful, and when you finish reading this book, you'll feel like you just got home from a perfect night out with your best friend. And you'll want to listen to Prince. At full volume." --Megan Jasper, Executive Vice President, Sub Pop RecordsBinding Type: Paperback

MUST read! Best pregnancy book so far and I'm in my 3rd trimester.
Format: Hardcover
I cannot put into words how quickly I absolutely INHALED this book! I haven't done that since I was a teenager! It was midnight before I realized I had blown through the first 3rd of the book. I finished it the next morning cause I could NOT put it down. I audibly laughed and cried (in a good way) and felt the most seen I have felt my entire pregnancy (this is my 1st). I felt like I was reading my own diary and am having my husband read it next so he can understand what I haven't been able to put into words for him these last 6 months. My favorite parts were reading Daryl's takes on situations and how much of a team he and Meghan have been since day one. My husband and I felt like we have been doing things "wrong" cause he's been so involved and he really hasn't felt like he could relate or talk with most of his male friends cause they still perpetuate the typical, hands off male role. If I could personally thank and hug Meghan for sharing her story, I would. Thanks bestie ;)

Relatable, easy read, great tips
Format: Hardcover
I appreciated how balanced this book was - from personal reflection (from multiple view points - especially dad advice) to recipes to data to exercise ideas. This book was a great pregnancy tool.

Such a good book!
Format: Hardcover
I really enjoyed this! I felt at ease and so much more calmer about pregnant . Megan wrote this book so well and in a way that makes you feel like you’re in a safe space and like you’re talking to a friend . It’s raw, it’s real, it’s funny and so honest.

Eh. It was ok. Good for a laugh not for realistic expectations
Format: Hardcover
The book was alright. I appreciated the jokes and style of writing, like a GenZ approach. She’s obviously very funny! However it’s written by a celebrity with massive amounts of money. While she acknowledges her privilege, it felt like a filler line. She goes on and on about out of touch items she had during her pregnancy which really rubbed me the wrong way. I appreciated her chapter on infertility and fertility treatments. Overall I guess I’m glad I bought it and read it. It made me feel a little less lonely. But not something I’d recommend to a friend.

A fun read for new moms!
Format: Kindle
I got it as soon as I read “I’m I pregnant or is it just a fart” during my TWW, can’t wait for a part 2.
