Download or read book You Can t Be Serious When You re 60 written by Madeleine Melquiond and published by Max Milo. This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Madeleine Melquiond debunks the clichés about senior citizens, the advisors of all kinds who claim to tell sexagenarians what to do, and delivers a portrait of herself and retirees that is as funny as it is moving. She shows that people in their sixties are no longer old people, but adults at last in a relaxed frame of mind, whom society should respect rather than infantilize. She encourages all those who do not accept being judged unproductive because they have passed the retirement age to make their diverse and uninhibited voices heard, and not to fall prey to "marketing for seniors." Born in 1945, Madeleine Melquiond holds an agrégation in history and geography and is a graduate of the ENS. After a career as a journalist and teacher, she turned to writing. She has already published Longtemps j’ai vécu avec une bouteille (Albin Michel, 2008), and contributes to Verso magazine and La revue des cent voix. She also takes part in writing and read-aloud workshops.

The center fielder for the Austin Lone Stars, he’s also been at the center of numerous sports scandals involving beer, bars, and baseball bunnies. But when he takes the fall for a teammate, Ace wakes up in the hospital, injured and in serious trouble. He’s sent to lie low and recover at his family ranch in Silverlake, Texas, where he’s saddled with his worst nightmare: his high school nemesis—a beautiful nurse who refuses to play doctor with him. Mia Adams has no time to fool around. The daughter of Silverlake’s high school baseball coach has three jobs and a pile of debt left behind by her missing ex. The very last thing she wants is to spend her time indulging hometown hero Easy Ace Braddock. If she didn’t need the money, she’d have nothing to do with the guy from her past who stole her dad’s time, attention, and love away from her before leaving for the major leagues. As Mia does her best to corral the irrepressible Ace, keep a sense of humor, and fight her unwelcome attraction to him, he charms, sidesteps, and outmaneuvers her. Will the onetime enemies find love at home base, right in the town where they grew up?

Book excerpt: Shut out the noise and listen to your heart . . . Worse than a one-hit wonder, Tassia Hogan is a one-line wonder. Infamous for a memorable, extremely provocative verse, her music career is going nowhere. Finding a decent man to date has also proven fruitless . . . they all think she’s as wanton as those lyrics. But now her label is offering Tassia the chance to shine—with a catch. The album is duets. Her partner is a Country Western singer. And he’s just as reluctant to agree as she is. Hyde Love has been in the music business since he was eleven, and he’s becoming more and more disenchanted with it. Collaborating on an album seems great in theory, but Tassia is an R&B singer. Melding their sounds and personalities will be difficult—though not as tough as keeping things strictly business. Getting involved with his partner could prove career-wrecking, yet discovering the real Tassia could be earth-shattering. Praise for Crystal B.
