Summary

JOIN AWARD-WINNING PODCASTER ZIBBY OWENS OF MOMS DON’T HAVE TIME TO READ BOOKS ON A JOURNEY FILLED WITH SLEEP， WRITING， WEIGHT LOSS， FRIENDSHIP， AND MORE。

Zibby Owens， host of the award-winning podcast Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books and a mother of four herself， created an online magazine in 2020 called We Found Time to help those struggling and stuck at home。 Authors from all walks of life contributed to the themes of eating， reading， working out， breathing， and having sex， and the magazine eventually evolved into Moms Don’t Have Time To: A Quarantine Anthology。

But Zibby recognized that there are so many more things that moms don’t have time do， which are now included in Moms REALLY Don’t Have Time To: Another Author Anthology。 Zibby has curated five new categories of things moms don’t have time to do: sleep， get sick， write， lose weight， and see friends。

Essayists include: Aimee Agresti， Esther Amini， Chandler Baker， Adrienne Bankert， Andrea Buchanan， Terri Cheney， Jeanine Cummins， Stephanie Danler， KJ Dell'Antonia， Lydia Fenet， Michael Frank， Elyssa Friedland， Melissa Gould， Nicola Harrison， Vashti Harrison， Kristy Harvey， Sophie Heawood， Joanna Hershon， Angela Himsel， Richie Jackson， Shelli Johannes， Lily King， Jean Kwok， Heather Land， Brooke Adams Law， Caroline Leavitt， Jenny Lee， Shannon Lee， Elizabeth Lesser， Gigi Levangie， Emily Liebert， Lynda Loigman， Abby Maslin， Sarah McColl， Jeanne McCulloch， Raakhee Mirchandani， Arden Myrin， Carla Naumburg， Rex Ogle， Camille Pagan， Elizabeth Passarella， Allison Pataki， Lindsay Powers， Susie Schnall， Sue Shapiro， Claire Bidwell Smith， Rebecca Soffer， Rev。 Lydia Sohn， Laura Tremaine， Cecily Von Ziegesar， and Laura Zigman。

I read Zibby’s first anthology and so I knew I wanted to read this one too。 I love that authors are putting their feelings about motherhood， particularly motherhood during a pandemic， to paper。 While not all of the essays touch on Covid-19， I feel like this anthology， as the first， is a great time capsule for this current period of humanity。 I enjoy reading the essays from author’s whose work I am familiar with and equally from those I have not yet met。 Discovering new-to-me authors is one of my I read Zibby’s first anthology and so I knew I wanted to read this one too。 I love that authors are putting their feelings about motherhood， particularly motherhood during a pandemic， to paper。 While not all of the essays touch on Covid-19， I feel like this anthology， as the first， is a great time capsule for this current period of humanity。 I enjoy reading the essays from author’s whose work I am familiar with and equally from those I have not yet met。 Discovering new-to-me authors is one of my great joys。 Thank you to UpLit Reads and Zibby Owens for sending me a gifted copy in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

The essays in this book are separated based on five topics mom's don't have time for: sleep， get sick， see friends， write， and lose weight。 There were lots of different perspectives represented， and I enjoyed most of the essays。 Just based on the time we're living through， I did find there to be a lot of mentions or focus on COVID-19 and also grief。 There were some essays from men， and some that didn't specifically mention motherhood but were on topic。 It was a nice compilation， and good to read The essays in this book are separated based on five topics mom's don't have time for: sleep， get sick， see friends， write， and lose weight。 There were lots of different perspectives represented， and I enjoyed most of the essays。 Just based on the time we're living through， I did find there to be a lot of mentions or focus on COVID-19 and also grief。 There were some essays from men， and some that didn't specifically mention motherhood but were on topic。 It was a nice compilation， and good to read of others in similar situations。 。。。more

I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my review。 All opinions are my own。 I picked up this anthology because it was different from what I usually read， and because the title caught my attention。 Very clever。 I enjoyed most of the stories， but one in particular about the author's grandfather leaving her a gold coin got to me pretty hard。 Maybe don't read that one in public at work！ "Moms Don't Have Time To: Another Author Anthology" will be published on 11/2/22。 I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my review。 All opinions are my own。 I picked up this anthology because it was different from what I usually read， and because the title caught my attention。 Very clever。 I enjoyed most of the stories， but one in particular about the author's grandfather leaving her a gold coin got to me pretty hard。 Maybe don't read that one in public at work！ "Moms Don't Have Time To: Another Author Anthology" will be published on 11/2/22。 。。。more

I downloaded this book expecting a light-hearted， somewhat satirical， tongue-in-cheek poke at Motherhood and the demands therein。Instead， it was filled with essays from a circle of bloggers highlighting their "Mom's don't have time for。。。" sections。 I was hoping to find a book that resonated with me， and the generalised experience of Motherhood， but sadly that was not the case with this book。 Possibly it is due to my being outside the USA - cultural differences at play even now。Three stars， beca I downloaded this book expecting a light-hearted， somewhat satirical， tongue-in-cheek poke at Motherhood and the demands therein。Instead， it was filled with essays from a circle of bloggers highlighting their "Mom's don't have time for。。。" sections。 I was hoping to find a book that resonated with me， and the generalised experience of Motherhood， but sadly that was not the case with this book。 Possibly it is due to my being outside the USA - cultural differences at play even now。Three stars， because while it was well written， it wasn't for me。~Many thanks to NetGalley for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review~ 。。。more

I'm not a mom， but I love reading about how moms manage to balance all of the things they have going on， taking care of themselves and their kids （and sometimes their own moms too）。 I liked the organization of these essays into sections - Moms don't have time to: write， sleep， get sick， lose weight etc。 As with any anthology， some of the stories resonated with me more than others， but I loved getting a window into the authors' lives。 In a world of Instagram perfection， I loved the honesty with w I'm not a mom， but I love reading about how moms manage to balance all of the things they have going on， taking care of themselves and their kids （and sometimes their own moms too）。 I liked the organization of these essays into sections - Moms don't have time to: write， sleep， get sick， lose weight etc。 As with any anthology， some of the stories resonated with me more than others， but I loved getting a window into the authors' lives。 In a world of Instagram perfection， I loved the honesty with which they wrote， and I found myself laughing and nodding along in agreement。 I'm sure many moms will find these stories relatable and/or entertaining。Pub date: Nov 2， 2021Thank you to Skyhorse Publishing for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review！ 。。。more

Great job， Zibby！This book helped me feel seen and a little less alone as a mother。 I lost my own mother 20 years ago at the age of 12。 Having my daughter 2 years ago reignited a flame I thought I had completely put out。 That flame being: “I’m not good enough” which is rooted from my above mentioned loss。 Only difference this time is it became the majority voice to every parenting decision and action vs。 inaction I was taking。 Moms don’t have time to was a beautifully crafted love letter to all Great job， Zibby！This book helped me feel seen and a little less alone as a mother。 I lost my own mother 20 years ago at the age of 12。 Having my daughter 2 years ago reignited a flame I thought I had completely put out。 That flame being: “I’m not good enough” which is rooted from my above mentioned loss。 Only difference this time is it became the majority voice to every parenting decision and action vs。 inaction I was taking。 Moms don’t have time to was a beautifully crafted love letter to all of the mothers out there that are trying to identify who they are， their self preservation in the midst of chaos， balancing the needs and wants of life etc… I recommend every mother take some time to read these stories so you too can experience the empathetic and powerful stories expressed in this literature。Thank you to NetGalley and Zibby Owens for this eARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I’ve only recently discovered personal essays and normally catch them one at a time and usually online。 Moms Don’t Have Time to Have Kids is one of only a few anthologies I’ve read。 I enjoyed these and appreciate the different perspectives。 What I liked most is that these are written by authors， some that I know and enjoyed hearing about their backgrounds （like Jean Kwok） and some that I don’t know but noted and have added to my want to read list。 Thanks to Net Galley and Skyhorse Publishing for I’ve only recently discovered personal essays and normally catch them one at a time and usually online。 Moms Don’t Have Time to Have Kids is one of only a few anthologies I’ve read。 I enjoyed these and appreciate the different perspectives。 What I liked most is that these are written by authors， some that I know and enjoyed hearing about their backgrounds （like Jean Kwok） and some that I don’t know but noted and have added to my want to read list。 Thanks to Net Galley and Skyhorse Publishing for a copy to read and review; all opinions are my own。 。。。more

I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。I usually dont read any non- fictions but really enjoyed reading this book。 Different women came together to tell similar stories based on their life， how to sleep， go out， diet， work even cope with illness as a mom。 Some stories were laughing out loud funny， some are tear jerkers， all of them resonated deeply with me。

Emily ，

This collection of essays about motherhood was fantastic。 It was so relatable。 The collection is broken up into five sections。 I loved the sections “Moms Don’t Have Time to Sleep” and “Moms Don’t Have Time to Get Sick”。 Some of the essays were humorous。 It was great getting different perspectives on various topics。 This is a great book and I highly recommend it。*Thanks Netgalley for providing an arc in exchange for an honest review。*

This book is totally amazing， and cute。

Loved this book！ I enjoyed the stories about the lives of these women outside the realm of motherhood。 It’s a wonderful look into the minds and workings of great women。

A surprisingly interesting book。 It is always good during this pandemic to read about the experiences of other parents。 I like how the sections of this book were divided， the themes presented : sleep， sickness， writing， diet。 Although writers were coming from different backgrounds， very often their thoughts and feelings were resonating in me。

I am loving this anthology of essays about motherhood。 It’s relatable and comforting to read others accounts of motherhood and their way of dealing with whatever situation they’re presenting。 I found the Moms Don’t Have Time to be Sick section especially poignant。 I also really enjoy the essay format。 I’m not usually a person that can read more than one book at a time， but with this format I’m able to do so。 This is perfect for taking along to errands or appointments as you can read an essay or I am loving this anthology of essays about motherhood。 It’s relatable and comforting to read others accounts of motherhood and their way of dealing with whatever situation they’re presenting。 I found the Moms Don’t Have Time to be Sick section especially poignant。 I also really enjoy the essay format。 I’m not usually a person that can read more than one book at a time， but with this format I’m able to do so。 This is perfect for taking along to errands or appointments as you can read an essay or two at a time and put it down and come back to it with no problem。 Thank you so much to netgalley for an early copy of my own as I know there are passages I will want to read over and over again。 。。。more

This book wasn’t at all what I expected。 It is a collection of letters/memoirs from people about important times in their lives and some about the trials of parenthood。 I thought that some of them were very amusing and I related to them， others were a little sadder to read and came across as a little more serious。 I enjoyed reading the book and would look out for other titles by this author。 Thank you to the author and NetGalley for gifting me this arc in exchange for an honest， unbiased review。
