Author:Emily Wood
The Virgin Book of Baby Names takes as its starting point the fact that choosing a name for your baby should be fun.
Rather than a dry list of every name under the sun, Emily Wood has organised names into interesting themed categories - from literature to pop music, biblical to astrological names, celebrity baby names to names to avoid!
With names for every day of the year, as well as a comprehensive A-Z of girls' and boys' names, The Virgin Book of Baby Names is an enjoyable alternative to the traditional baby names book.

—— LA Family MagazineOur twins were up constantly at night until we found The Sleepeasy Solution. Thank you for giving us the sleep we'd been dreaming of
—— Marcia Cross, ActorIntimate, yet well-researched..comedic and poignant, her many-faceted memoir is rendered in high-definition as Heller recounts meals, travels, parties, arguments, lies, and the serious illnesses that afflicted her and her parents. Writing with wit, compassion, aplomb, and no little wonder at what her father wrought and her mother endured and how this legacy shaped her, Heller presents an involving and invaluable work of personal and cultural history.
—— BooklistHeller's family memoir brims with warm reflections right from the opening chapters... An affectionate family scrapbook crafted with a bittersweet blend of humor and pathos
—— Kirkus ReviewsErica Heller to me is like a Carrie Fisher on the East Coast. She is as authentic as they come
—— Richard Lewis, comedian, actor, authorErica Heller has a story to tell and I for one am eager to see it in print. I think this is going to be one hell(er) of a memoir
—— Christopher Buckley, author of Losing Mum and PupThe New York of the period leaps off the page
—— Emma Hagestadt , IndependentHeller's domestic side is evoked with painful detail by his daughter, Erica, in her well written, occasionally harrowing memoir, Yossarian Slept Here
—— Sunday TimesLikeable memoir...just as Daugherty is blind to the limitations of Heller's work so he appears resistant to personal criticism of Heller or rebuke. Just One Catch is no hagiography but, of these two biographical accounts on Yossarian Slept Here gives us the gruff, arrogant big shot; the smug cocky fellow who sometimes showed up to friend's cocktail parties for the sheer fun of insulting them
—— Leo Robson , Financial Times
