The Pile of Stuff at the Bottom of the Stairs by Christina Hopkinson

If you have ever lived with someone as an adult, whether it be a spouse,a significant other or a roommate, you will identify with this book. Mary Gilmour is going through a rough patch in life - nothing catastrophic, just that she has two young sons and her husband is driving her crazy. You have probably seen these crimes in your own home. Perhaps you have even committed them from time to time! Some examples: Joel leaves used tea bags in the sink instead of tossing them. Joel can't find anything in the fridge by himself. If you reread the title of the book you will learn of another transgression! One night Mary gets the brilliant idea of making a spreadsheet based on her husband's actions for the next six months. He can earn or lose points according to what he has done that day. Of course Joel knows nothing about it! The burning question is - what will happen at the end of that time? A very entertaining book and one that everyone should enjoy!
