"STFU Parents"

STFU, Parents: The Jaw-Dropping, Self-Indulgent, and Occasionally Rage-Inducing World of Parent Overshare (Blair Koenig)

Time for me to engage in some hypocrisy! I've given more than one book a hard time for being nothing but the content of a website in book form, and here comes the content of a website in book form I quite enjoyed. In my own defense, there's a considerable bit of original writing in the introductions of each chapter, and the book has a further advantage over the website of not having any pictures (as much as I enjoy the website, it's a real appetite-destroyer). Even better, since the book is organized by theme, you can just skip the gross chapters (which I highly recommend as there's some real gut-churning nastiness contained within), which isn't always possible on the website. Plus, it was only ten bucks, and I'm going to tell myself that's a fair price for a book based on a website I've been enjoying for free for years. Oh, and, uh, the book's very entertaining, too.
