About Shh Moms Reading®
Shh Moms Reading® is a book blog created by two moms who share a deep love of books, unforgettable characters, emotional storytelling, and the stories that stay with us long after the final page.
We review the books we love, spotlight authors we believe in, and share the things worth putting our books down for. From romance and women’s fiction to powerful stories with heart, humor, healing, and happily ever afters, our goal is simple: to connect readers with books they cannot wait to talk about.
We truly enjoy helping authors and publishers spread the word about new releases, beloved backlist titles, book events, special promotions, and stories that deserve to be discovered.
About Christine
I have been an avid reader since early childhood. My fondest memories are of my cousins and I sun bathing on the roof of my Aunt’s house in San Jose, CA reading books throughout the summer.
I have been reviewing books actively online since 2012. I love reading and being transported to different worlds and meeting new characters fun banter and good stories that consume my every waking thought is my FAVORITE.
I am a stay at home mother to three wonderful children two currently in college and one in high school. I love assisting authors and am a PA for authors Willow Aster and Elizabeth O’Roark. I have completed a Copy Editing Certificate Program with UCSD Extension and proofread for several authors.
About Denise
I am a mom, a wife, a daughter, a mental health advocate, and is passionate about helping people enJOY the journey!
Watching my two respectful, hardworking young men grow into their own has been one of my greatest JOYs. Larry and I are so proud to have front-row seats as they put in the work to turn their dreams into their reality.
Married in 2000, over two decades of marriage have taught me the beauty of shared values, the power of lived experience, the strength found in patience, and well, that sometimes choosing happy over right is the best path. Oh and 20 plus years later he still puts my coat on for me!
Losing my brother, Keith, to suicide in 2004 profoundly shaped who I am. Mental health advocacy is now part of who I am. Each May, I am honored to be surrounded by so many authors support the Mental Health Awareness Book Fundraising benefiting the Keith Milano Memorial Fund at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Their efforts to raise awareness in Keith’s name echos the Jewish proverb: “Everyone dies twice; the first time is when the heart stops beating, and the second time when their name is spoken for the last time.” I am deeply grateful to this community for Keith’s legacy.
As for the “wizard” part there’s a long story behind it but it’s a tribute to my role as Chief Marketing Officer at Mitlin Financial Inc®. At Mitlin we Bring JOY to Your Money Journey™ My role is more than job it is our legacy as the M-I-T in Mitlin is for my grandfather Mitchell.
The Mitlin team has had the privilege of supporting authors as they navigate the financial opportunities and complexities that come with a creative career. That experience inspired Write Your Financial Future: A Financial Guide for Authors, a complimentary guide created exclusively for authors who want to protect their success, make informed decisions, and plan confidently for the chapters ahead.
For me, reading is a way to recharge and find a little peace amidst the chaos of life. It’s so easy to get caught up in the endless to-do lists and feel guilty about carving out “me” time.
This journey has taught me as moms, we are setting an example for our kids when they see us immersed in a book, whether it’s a paperback or an e-book. It shows them the power of being engaged in a story and the importance of making time for what we love.
So, Read.
Read what pulls you in. Read the stories that make you feel, think, laugh, cry, swoon, and believe. Read what keeps you turning the pages.
If the storyline isn’t one you care share …..
Just say it’s “a love story” 😉
