4.13 The Curse of the Pirate Hunk
I was scrolling along a dating app the other evening, and I came across a gentleman whose bio said, “Let’s talk about the books we’re reading!” First of all, I love that concept. That’s a great conversation starter, and I was impressed with his creativity until I realized…well, I’m currently reading a corny, cringey, “steamy”…

3.12 THAT’S a Stretch
I got to spend a little time with my family during Christmas, and I had an interesting exchange with my little brother.
