I think it would be really cool if we had a section where members could post reviews about and discuss books. Topics could be restricted to pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, diapering, parenting, and other things that directly pertain to the focus of the website, or it could have a subforum for other books too...

I think this would be helpful because there are so many books out there about some topics (and so few out there about others), and recommendations from other members might be very helpful in assisting people to choose the best books for their needs. Unlike all of the reviews on the booksellers' websites too, a message board format would also allow for dialogue, which can be a lot more helpful than just "Loved it," or "Hated it."

Just a thought! What does everybody think?

Great idea Karri!

I'm on, and I've read lots of baby books from expecting to child disipline.

Awesome! We'll have to see what the people in charge here at AB have to say about it, if it's possible or not...

Karri, great idea. I always find book reviews very helpful.

We already have a Books and Reading (http://www.awesomebabies.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=147) section. How about starting a general reviews thread and a baby related reviews thread? If we find a lot of interest in this, I will consider a subsection dedicated to reviews. Would that work? :)
