About a week ago, I received a copy of comedian Elizabeth Beckwith’s spoof on parenting book Raising the Perfect Child Through Guilt and Manipulation from HarperCollins.

I just found out today that Makenzie Williamson, the 17-year-old daughter of one of my co-workers, went missing last week. How Jolynne was even able to come in to office today is beyond me.

My name is Literate Housewife and I am a book addict. My eyes are bigger than my reading capacity and I have difficulty with the word “No.” I have more books in my house than I’ll probably ever read. I feel as though I’m starting to reach critical mass here. Three things specifically have [...]
