"Waiting On" Wednesday: The Cursing Mommy's Book of Days

 "Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

The Cursing Mommy's Book of Days
By Ian Frazier
Publication Date: October 2

From Amazon:

Based on his widely read columns for The New Yorker, Ian Frazier’s uproarious first novel, The Cursing Mommy’s Book of Days, centers on a profoundly memorable character, sprung from an impressively fertile imagination. Structured as a daybook of sorts, the book follows the Cursing Mommy—beleaguered wife of Larry and mother of two boys, twelve and eight—as she tries (more or less) valiantly to offer tips on how to do various tasks around the home, only to end up on the ground, cursing, surrounded by broken glass. Her voice is somewhere between Phyllis Diller’s and Sylvia Plath’s: a hilariously desperate housewife with a taste for swearing and large glasses of red wine, who speaks to the frustrations of everyday life.


What's your "waiting on" pick this week?

    Haha that does not sound like my cup of tea at all, but I'll have to tell my sister about it, because it is right up her alley.

    Sounds like a funny book and similar to a couple that I have yet to read, "Diary of a Mummy Misfit" and "The Darker Side of Mummy Misfit".

    Hope you enjoy your book.
