Rebecca Eckler is a popular newspaper columnist who lives the fabulous life and gets paid to write about it. So when a tipsy romp with her fiancé on the night of their lavish engagement party leaves her unexpectedly expecting, she is utterly at a loss. How will a woman who loves nothing more than a night out on the town sipping cocktails with her fellow party girls survive the pregnant life?

Knocked Up is the witty, engaging and refreshingly frank chronicle of a modern woman’s journey into motherhood. We follow Eckler from the first trimester (a.k.a. the longest three months of her life), through the “fat months” of the second trimester, on to the "even fatter months" of the third. Flipping the pages of this Bridget-Jones-style diary, we share in Eckler’s discovery of prenatal vitamins and nursing bras, ultrasounds and obstetricians. And we experience her growing horror at the physical symptoms of pregnancy: all-day “morning” sickness, fatigue, varicose veins, and cravings. And the weight gain, oh the weight gain. Who knew the day would come when she could no longer put on her own socks?

Along for the ride is a cast of characters as comical as any met in fiction. There’s the Sexy Young Intern, a Sophia Loren look-a-like with her skinny eyes set on Eckler’s job; the glamorous friends who continue to drink Manhattans, while Eckler sips Perrier; and the Cute Single Man who knows just when she needs a carton of ice cream or a game of Scrabble. And then there’s the fiancé, living in another city, who, thanks to the miracle of long-distance phone lines, appreciates better than anybody the highs and lows of the hormonal rollercoaster pregnant Eckler is on.

Lighthearted, intimate, and very funny, Knocked Up is the diary of a modern mother-to-be determined not to let pregnancy and motherhood change her life. Not. One. Little. Bit..

Desperate for further, further confessions of the hilarious protagonist of Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging and On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God? You're in luck! Just in the nick of time, Georgia Nicolson is back, regaling her reading audience with the trials and tribulations of life as a British teen. Sure, Georgia is thrilled to still be the girlfriend of the Sex God. And yet, Dave the Laugh (her "red herring" ex-beau) isn't looking so bad himself these days. Meanwhile, as our heroine is updating her 1-to-10 snogging scale (6-1/4 is lip nibbling, otherwise known in Georgia-speak as "nip libbling"), her huge misbehaving cat, Angus, is on the verge of a trip to the vet to have his "chimney swept" in an effort to tone down his passion for the neighboring sex kitten, Naomi.

Louise Rennison's outrageously funny series, written in minute-by-minute diary form, perfectly captures the agonizing je ne sais quoi of adolescence in all its schizophrenic glory and comes complete with glossary for Georgia's oh-so-dim American chums. (Ages 12 and older) --Emilie Coulter.
