Stangel brothers publish parody for parents

Do you have kids? Do you remember what life was like before them? You know, those days, long, long ago in what seems like a galaxy far, far away, when the word "hip" didn't make you think of your aging body?

Humor writers and brothers, Eric and Justin Stangel, have written a hilarious book with an inside look at life in the suburbs when you're married with kids. 

Goodnight Husband, Goodnight Wife is an illustrated book and a parody on a classic children's bedtime story, and one that parents will find themselves reading - and laughing along to - after their kids are finally asleep.

Books for your favorite Bibliophile

So, it's Valentine's Day weekend. You have plenty of time for last minute shopping since this romantic holiday falls on a Tuesday this year.


Jewelry might not appeal to your special someone and roses don't last very long. Chocolate is good for any occasion, but accompany that with a special book (with a hand-written note inside) and you've got yourself a real present!


Pick up a copy of one of these titles at your favorite bookstore, or better yet, add them to your cart through our online store and save yourself the headache of having to hit the mall this weekend.
