Whether it’s PTA meetings or POA politics, Lela Davidson exposes the humor in every awkward moment of familial failure and maternal meltdown. She says what the rest of us are thinking. Her hilarious observations and subtle satire are always spot on. She’s not afraid to reveal her screw-ups, along with fleeting delusional moments when she honestly believes she is the best mom/wife/neighbor/friend ever. She is the author of Blacklisted from the PTA (Jupiter Press, imprint of Wyatt-MacKenzie, 2011).

Her writing is featured in “Chicken Soup for the Soul: New Moms” and in family and parenting magazines throughout the United States and Canada. She blogs about marriage, motherhood, and life-after-40 at After the Bubbly.

The Writer’s Workout by Christina Katz

I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time….

ChiRunning by Danny and Katherine Dreyer

Six-Figure Freelancing by Kelly James-Enger

The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman

These five books are my self-improvement plan for 2012. (Along with the many painfully enlightening titles my book club will choose.) What are yours?
