Over Summer MN bookclub will be reading two strikingly different books about parenting. Both authors will be joining us in early September for webchats.

First up is Gill Sim’s Why Mummy Swears. Gill’s blog Peter and Jane has become a UK phenomenon, largely due to the publication of her first novel - the bestselling Why Mummy Drinks. Her latest joins Ellen, husband Simon and their precious 'moppets', Jane and Peter at the start of the summer holidays and follows them, in diary format, over the course of the year. With spot-on observations about motherhood and more than a few lol moments, this is the perfect fun summer read, whether you’re lying by a pool or in need of light relief as you struggle with your own moppets over the school holidays.

Gill Sims will be joining us for a webchat on Wednesday 5 September when she’ll be joining us for a chat and a laugh about surviving the summer holidays as well as answering your questions about the book. Find out more about the book, read - or listen to - an extract and find out what the Mumsnet bloggers have to say about Why Mummy Swears

Gill - we realise there's a lot to get through but if you get a chance we'd love to hear your answers to the Mumsnet questions that we put to all of the authors who join us:

What was your favourite childhood book?

What was the last book you bought someone as a gift?

And the last book you received?

And finally - can you describe to us the room where you wrote Why Mummy Swears?

That brings us to the end of the hour. That was such a great chat - thanks to everyone who joined us and a huge thanks to Gill for answering our questions this evening - it’s been a lot of fun. We hope Ellen, Simon and family continue to dominate the book charts - and we hope you'll join us again in the future to tell us about their further adventures.

A reminder to all book clubbers that we’re joined next Tuesday (11th September by Leila Slimani author of Lullaby and finally our September book of the month is Fierce by Gin Phillips. Do join us in reading.
