If you are a mom, which character or author are you most like?

Sue
Erma Bombeck was my hero. My sons don't appreciate my little witticisms, advice or jokes at all. I should write them down. My mother always threatened to do that.

Jane Haase
Molly Ivins

Rosalie
I'm most like Adriana Trigiani because most people say I'm funny although she's hilarious. She and I are Italian with dark hair and eyes and we both love food. We are very proud of our heritage and family means a lot to us.

Marsha Toy Engstrom, The Book Club Cheerleader
I flatter myself to think (hope, wish) I am like Erma Bombeck. Before I knew who she was (could I even read then) my dad would tell me that I reminded him of her. Yes, my oldest sister was known as "The Smart One", my middle sister, "The Pretty One", so I had to be "The Funny One." I remember eschewing the handsome blond football player to go to the dance with the class clown. Funny just floats my boat. And I'm always willing to go overboard as well...

Barbara Broberg
Erma Bombeck

Eileen Quinn Knight, Ph.D.
I perceive myself as most like Jane Austen. She is independent yet a romantic. She is thoughtful and kind. She has a deep sense about who she is and relates to others in that vein. I did not have the personal struggles she did but I have had bumps in the road!

Marjorie L. Carmony
Erma Bombeck

Lynn
Laura Ingalls Wilder

T
Juliet Ashton from THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY

Barbara Goettler
I am one of a kind! Just like my mother was like no other.

Mrs. Weasley

Mary Ferwerda
Gladys Taber

Carol Crumpton
Mrs. Weasley

Linda M. Johnson

Helen Plum, Stephanie Plum's nerve-wracked mother in Evanovich's Plum series! Right down to the toddy in the kitchen cabinet!

Dorothy Boyum
Erma Bombeck

Linda Miller
Erma Bombeck

T. Semidey
Dolores Price in SHE'S COME UNDONE by Wally Lamb

Myrna Pennisi
Anna Quindlen

Linda Nataya
Alice Walker

Sunnie

Juanita Adamson
All of the ones listed, plus more! Being a mother is a very tough (but very fulfilling) job. I pray that I am just a fraction as wonderful as my mother!

Mary Q.
Anna Quindlen. I see myself in the way she expresses herself; I felt an instant connection with her at a reading/signing event; and she, like me, is nuts about her kids!

Liz Cranage
Martha Stewart

Judy Bradley
Either Erma Bombeck or Mrs. Weasley

Julie Caldwell
I am a mix of Rosanne and Kris Kardashian --- crazy, funny, and in love with my daughters!

Rosemary Simm
Anne B. Davis, the housekeeper on "The Brady Bunch."

Linda
Ma Ingalls

Karen Bader
Mrs. Weasley

Kathryn McNamara
Mrs. Weasley

Nora Zapata
Miss Julia

Sandra Hughes
Pam Houston --- she loves the West, especially the mountains, the outdoors and all animals!

Jean Kruse
Any of the wives from THE FIRST WIVES CLUB.

Bobbe Banks Salkowitz
Marilyn French. When she died last week, I was once again thankful to her for changing my life when THE WOMEN'S ROOM came out. Until then, I had always felt so alone in my struggle of conflicting emotions and my place in society.

Karen
Erma Bombeck

Nina
I'd like to think I'm a little bit Martha Stewart, a little bit Ma Ingalls, and maybe a bit Candace Bushnell (I do like Cosmos...) with a smidge of Janet Evanovich.

Mary Sylvester
Erma Bombeck

Marge Hodge
Martha Stewart

Lee
When I think of loving mothers of literature, the two most memorable for me are Marmee and Caroline Ingalls. I've never been tested by the hardships these characters faced, but I live their quiet devotion and kindness.

Susan Babendure
I am definitely Mary Poppins!

R. Honey
Erma Bombeck!

Alison Callaghan
Mrs. Weasley
