Consumer Reports Best Baby Products, 10th edition
Life with your new baby is filled with joy. It’s also filled with lots and lots of stuff! Some of the stuff available out there you truly need, some of it isn’t essential but will make your life easier, and some of it is a pure waste of money. More important, some of it is safe and some of it isn’t. Consumer Reports Best Baby Products is the definitive guide to buying the safest, most durable, and most useful products for your baby without spending more than you need to.

The Reunion Diet
For millions of us, reunions—whether a milestone high school reunion
or extended family get-together—offer a wake-up call and the chance to check in with friends, relatives, and long-lost loves we once knew well. They can also shore up weight-loss motivation. In fact, some of us are only interested in losing weight when we’ve got a major event like a reunion on the horizon. The Reunion Diet offers a practical, self-help guide that will show you how to set specific weight-loss—and other lifestyle—goals and achieve them within the timeframe you have before the big event. At the core of the book is a diet plan that is calibrated by calorie levels according to how much time you have to lose weight before your reunion. The book is also packed with fitness, fashion, beauty and emotional tips to help readers physically and mentally prepare for the big day.
The Shy Single
Co-written with Bonnie Jacobson, PhD
Nearly 50 percent of adults in the U.S. describe themselves as chronically shy, and an even larger number are single. These numbers prove what we already know: There are a lot of us sitting at home, letting the dating world pass us by. But it doesn’t have to be that way! In The Shy Single, New York psychologist Bonnie Jacobson outlines her breakthrough program that helps shy men and women securely maneuver any social situation. The aim of The Shy Single is not to make us un-shy, but to enable us to function despite our pounding hearts and sweaty palms.
