Note: I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley and am leaving this review voluntarily. As someone who has never shied away from calling it like it is—no matter what “it” is—Lara Parker’s Vagina Problems caught my attention instantly.

Next, I … Continue reading Book Review: Wiving by Caitlin Myer

This weekend, my son turns three-years-old, and over the past couple of months, he has discovered books.
