511 Things Only Women Understand

By: Lorraine Bodger

Men just don't get it. All women know that there are numerous truths in life that their boyfriends, husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers simply don't understand. Author-illustrator Lorraine Bodger reveals more than 500 riveting bits of women's knowledge, guaranteed to make both men and women laugh and nod their heads in recognition. 511 Things Only Women Understand is a celebration of the funny, smart, and unquestionably female sensibility.What do women understand? Why a woman cannot have too many pairs of black slacks. That if he says he doesn't deserve you, he probably doesn't. And if he says you're too good for him, you probably are. The ecstasy of still fitting into your wedding dress ten years later. That it is a very serious offense to get in a ten-items-only express line with more than twelve items. That marrying you does not automatically excuse a man from courting you. The alarming difference between 120 pounds and 121 pounds.

500 Reasons Why You're My Best Friend

By: Lorraine Bodger

DIV They hold us together through good times and bad. They keep us sane. They keep us talking. They keep us in touch with our feelings. From the time we're in our strollers to the time we're using walkers, best friends are a crucial part of female culture. Guys may supply the electricity in our lives, but girls supply the grounding." --500 Reasons Why You're My Best Friend She's fun to be with. She tells the truth. She's your most dependable ally. These are just some of the characteristics of every woman's best girlfriend. And artist-illustrator Lorraine Bodger deftly describes plenty of others in her list book, 500 Reasons Why You're My Best Friend. Consider these observations: * I can tell you anything, and you won't be shocked. * You redid my makeup for me when it was starting to look old-fashioned. * We helped each other torture our siblings. How much fun was that? *You're patient with me when I'm stuck on a guy and can't stop talking about him. * When I'm sick in bed, you call to check on me at least five times a day. * You helped me sew 106 name tapes into my daughter's clothes before she went to sleep-away camp for the first time. Then you let me cry on your shoulder when she left on the bus. * You think I'm smart, capable, clever, and pretty. You're my one-woman cheering section. In text that's sassy and sweet, witty and serious, wry and loving, Bodger sums up the qualities of real friendships. All women will recognize themselves and their best friends in this delightful gift book. Universal in its appeal, 500 Reasons Why You're My Best Friend joins the ranks of Lorraine Bodger's other best-selling list books. /div

I'm the Pretty One, You're the Smart One

515 Things Only Sisters Understand

By: Lorraine Bodger

It's: a) 3:00 in the morning b) the night before you start a new job c) the day the absolutely best thing ever happened to you d) the day the absolutely worst thing ever happened to you e) all of the above Who are you going to call? Your sister, of course! Ask any woman who has a sister and she'll tell you that neither girlfriends nor husband--much as she adores them--can take the place of her sister. Who else has the same family history from the female perspective? Who else shares the same values and expectations, shaped since babyhood? Who else knows what's racing around in her head almost before she herself does? No one but her sister. In I'm the Pretty One, You're the Smart One, author Lorraine Bodger captures the many nuances of this unique and irreplaceable relationship. From the greatest delights (wardrobe sharing!) to the pettiest annoyances (will she ever get out of that bathroom?), this book captures the sisters experience in all its variety, and celebrates All Things Sisters in a way that honors, supports, and enriches this important bond. I'm the Pretty One, You're the Smart One explores the sisterly ins and outs of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood with wit, insight, humor, and loving attention. It rejoices in the intimacy shared by sisters--and that's what makes it the perfect gift from sister to sister. With beautiful original watercolor artwork, this deliciously touching hardcover gift book hits all the emotional (and often hilarious) highs and lows of sisterhood.

I'm Happy If You're Happy

515 Things Only Mothers and Daughters Understand

By: Lorraine Bodger

You're hitched, for better and for worse, in sickness and in health, in shopping and in endless family gossip," writes Lorraine Bodger in I'm Happy If You're Happy. Every mother will want a copy to give to her daughter; every daughter will want one for her mother. Without a doubt, the bond between mothers and daughters is indestructible. Through every milestone event, every crisis, every joy, mothers and daughters are there for each other, even when they don't always see eye to eye. What daughter hasn't exclaimed in dismay, "Oh no, I sound just like my mother!" And what mother hasn't shouted in frustration, "Just you wait until you're a mother. Then you'll understand!" Both mothers and daughters will smile as they recognize the moments in this book: * That sooner or later you're going to turn into your mother. It's destiny. * How consistently your maternal advice ricochets off the wall of your teenaged daughter's disdain. * That sometimes it's not too clear who's the mother and who's the daughter here. * Guilt, guilt, and more guilt. Both sassy and sweet, I'm Happy If You're Happy is a gift to mothers and daughters that says, "I get you, and you get me. And I always will.

The Four Seasons of Love

By: Lorraine Bodger

The seasons are a wonderful metaphor for love--constant, eternal, yet always changing. They bring variety, excitement and fun to our lives, just as love does. You resist them at some times, embrace them at others. You look forward to one season and feel a little wistful as it gradually transforms itself into the next season--but you also anticipate its certain return. Is love any different?" --The Four Seasons of Love Whether you're looking to jump-start your romance or to maintain that newly-in-love magic, author and illustrator Lorraine Bodger gives you a hand with imaginative ideas for every season. Celebrating the warmth of summer, the sparkle of autumn, the coziness of winter, and the freshness of spring, The Four Seasons of Love offers inspiring ideas for making a relationship go from the doldrums to extraordinary! Each of the four chapters captures a special time of year for lovers, evoking the sensuous joys of that season. The Four Seasons of Love touches lightly and whimsically on romantic things to do and places to go, romantic songs and movies, delicious food, flirtatious things to wear, dreamy weddings, and much more. Within the pages of this delightful giftbook, Bodger's delightful watercolor illustrations perfectly complement each page. Also included are elegant Love Tokens that can be copied, personalized, and presented to your lover. The Four Seasons of Love makes a perfect gift for couples to give and share, stirring them to rekindle their deep love with every passing moment.
