Non-Fiction Pick of the Week: The BlackBerry Diaries

The BlackBerry Diaries: adventures in modern motherhood by Kathy Buckworth 2009

Canadian author Kathy Buckworth describes life as a "modern mother" and how one goes about juggling motherhood in today's world of modern technology, in particular her BlackBerry Smart Phone (BBSM), which she nicknames Seamus. A mother herself to 4 children, Kathy brings to light many amusing ways that the BlackBerry and a young child are remarkably similar. The book is written like blog entries with tags for each chapter. Young moms would probably particularly enjoy this one - it's very funny; you will definitely relate to the situations Kathy finds herself in with her BBSM and her children; and it's a quick and easy read for those of you who are operating on a lack of sleep (because of either your children or your BlackBerry!).
