jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	At the present time, I'm reading a how-to book recommended by my editor, Chatty. Am attempting to hone my writing skills. "Write Tight" by William Brohaugh, advises, "Say Exactly What You Mean with Precision and Power." I have the feeling it's easier said than done! LOL...

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	jabber, love the title. I"ve read many books on writing, but never that one. Have you read Stephen King's book, On Writing? If not, I recommend it. I'm re-reading 28 Days to Taming Your Tongue. It's a good time for me to read this. I have three adult children and I think I should probably chill out with some of my conversation. This book is a great read. It helps you understand WHY you say what you say. I'm still trying to teach lessons and I really don't think I need to do that at this point. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Dotsie, Yes! I read Stephen King's book on writing a long time ago. Loved it. And taming the mouth is a difficult thing as well. Some days the words that fly out of the mouth, are hard to squelch! And I sure wish I could take some of them back, every now and again. The tongue seems to have a mind of its own! LOL... _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I have found in the past when "opening mouth and inserting my foot," to simply honestly apologize and it usually works. At least it did when they were younger, not so much anymore. I try to keep my mouth shut which isn't easy for me. Easier now since neither one of them comes around. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	"Kaleidoscope Memories" by Sandpiper aka Cindy Oldham and the Stees sisters' is an enjoyable, heartwarming, spirit-lifting read! The love and respect these family members have for each other 'tis refreshing, and renews my faith in society's family structure. As I read those Stees girls' childhood antics, joys, and fears, I fell in with mom and dad and all the children. LOVE permeates off these pages! What a fun read!

dejavu journeyman Registered: 08/16/06 Posts: 319	Hi! I'm new here (well, used to be active a long time back). I recently read "In the Castle of the Flynns", which is a GREAT Boomer book, about life in the 1950's in Chicago, and a very moving family story. It's by Michael Raleigh. _________________________ My website http://www.carolynagosta.com

Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/11/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	I've just finished reading "Cheap Cabernet" by Cathie Beck. She is not an NABBW member, so we won't be reviewing her book. But as a memoir, it is fun, poignant and memorable. Cathie Beck writes of a time in her life (late 30s) when she was facing an Empty Nest and had no women friends. So she ran an ad in the newspaper for women to join a women's group - "Women on the Way," or WOW. From the group that forms, she becomes BFF with Denise Katz. This is their story. Which ends only with death. I highly recommend it.
