9 Toys I Can Unequivocally Say Were A Total Waste Of Money
[[link removed]] 
Who else has spent hours and hours in the last few weeks staring at online
reviews, trying to figure out what their kid will actually play with and if you
should spend your hard-earned money on it? (I certainly have.) Well, Samm
Davidson is here to help: “Ads can be deceiving, trends can be weird, and kids
can be persistent so I feel a responsibility, having bought too much of all of
it, to let you know that sadly, some things will be a bust.” And so here’s her
list. “You’re welcome,” she adds. 

Now, every kid is different, and your boondoggle might well be my jackpot. And a
few of her choices will be controversial! But it’s worth giving a read. And if
anybody has suggestions for dress-up shoes for a six-year-old at a
stocking-stuffer price point, for the love of God, email me at

I can’t stare at Google another minute.

This Month’s Scary Mommy Book Club Pick: How Not To Drown In A Glass Of Water by
Angie Cruz
[[link removed]] 
We’re trying something new here: Scary Mommy’s Book Club — which you can join
for free! (more below) — will be taking over this spot in the newsletter from
time to time to talk about books. First up, is December’s book pick: How Not To
Drown In A Glass Of Water. 

Here’s a brief synopsis: Fifty-six year old Cara Romero is going through a life
crisis. After decades of working at a lamp factory in New York City, she’s laid
off during the Great Recession of 2008 and is forced to come to terms with
everything that’s come before that moment. An immigrant from the Dominican
Republic and a survivor of harrowing domestic abuse, Cara finds herself in job
counseling, telling her life story to a stranger over 12 brief sessions. This
book is made up of those 12 sessions.

There are some literary characters that we will never forget. Jo March, Boo
Radley, Anne Shirley… Cara Romero is one of those characters. She’s complex,
hilarious, fierce, loving, and strong as anyone. She’s also battling against a
world that isn’t made for her: a Latina woman, an immigrant, a single mom who
started with literally nothing. I can’t remember the last time I read a book in
which I fell so hard for a protagonist, as if she was standing right in front of
me, as real or realer than anyone I had ever met. — Sarah Aswell, Senior Editor
