This book looks great from the title,
anyone close to this age group needs to learn about the Fab fifties? I am getting so close to this age I can taste it! And I am NOT ready!!
Have a great Monday!
Okay, count me in! I wanna see what happens when she brings home a puppy, since we'll be doing that next month!
You already know you're on my blog roll, you already know I follow, yada yada yada.

Really, I am interested in seeing how Hope quits the sniping and grows up. :) I think it is nice how she begins to learn from those around her. I am at the big 4-1 right now, and always willing to read about those next steps! Thanks for the giveaway!

I just became a follower for two reasons.
1- I totally want to win.
2- You are from New England, I miss New England (I am in Arizona now and use to live in Rhode Island and Maine). :)
Thanks again!

the book itself looks very intriguing thanks for the giveaway
Happy snow day from a fellow SITSta!
I'm not at 50 yet, but I have a number of friends who are. This book sounds like a lot of fun and a realistic look at that stage of life. It would be great to win.
Thanks for the chance.

I like the title. I am still a ways from 50, but I still want to see how she overcomes it all.
I am looooong past 50 but I am curious to see how she dealt with everything. My oldest daughter is your age Kelly, so I could give her this book to see what she is in for.

Cute blog! Don't enter me, I have this one and still need to read it.
Thanks for participating:)
Boy the title is wonderful. I am 3 yrs away from 50 and its creeping up on me. I would love to win. Thanks
This interests me because I could only WISH 50 was in my vicinity so I guess I could write a book about 60 being the new 40??? I became a follower and am glad I am doing this Carnival as I found a great site here I hadn't been to. I hope you will visit me at BOOKIN' WITH BINGO! Thanks for the giveaway!
Being 50 soimething, it sure sounds like a book I would just love to read
I'm approaching fifty myself, I would like to read a humorous perspective about it.

Looks like a great book. I have issues with age & so does my mom. This book would be perfect for us to read!
Well, I am 51 now and still trying to come to terms with it, so I love this title (even if I don't entirely agree!). Anyway, this looks really intriguing, thanks!
I may be 55 but I feel more like 20 everyday! LOL - This book sounds like
fun.

The book interests me because I am sending my 3rd child off to college this year and will have only one left home. I hope to embrace the changes in my life and not dread them.
Since I'm fastly approaching 50, the title intrigues me. Plus, your review is fabulous and has got my interest peeked. I have to see how she deals with all these things.

I've got to say that this looks interesting. I'm sure some time a long time from now (like a year or so) I'll be facing this.

Your review said the ending was 'extremely intriguing' and that sparked my interest. I love good books that aren't completely predictable.
I am so close to fifty and I need all the encoragement I can get to survive this decade.

I'm going to be 50 in June. So far age hasn't bothered me and I'm wondering how I'll handle half a century! I think I really need this book! LOL.
See, it's bothering me already. The memory is going -- I didn't give you my email address!
ILuvOceanBreezes@gmail.com
I would love to win this book, because as someone who just turned 50, I have had my share of new challenges too.
Also, being laid off, I have plenty of time to sit down and read this!

Hi.
Just stopping by via SITS.
I like your site.
This sounds like a book I would enjoy. I don't read the romance or mystery novels. I prefer more realistic story lines or non-fiction. Being 53, I think the story is even more fitting.
I want to see what happens when she brings home the puppy!
I love any story with puppies... we have two and I think they're adorable!
Christina - xristya@rock.com - From what I've heard, the 40's are still vital, but the 50's can be daunting - so I'd certainly like to know this book's opinion!
right now i am feeling old and havent done anything with my life i would love to read this

This book interests me because it looks like an inspirational book. That good can come out of bad situations.

I read your review and I'm thrilled to see that the author handles this subject with wit and humor.
It sounds like the kind of book I'd enjoy and I'm *finally* taking enough time for myself to get back into reading again! :-)
It would be great to read a funny and positive book about being in one's 50's.
I just turned 50, so this book would be great for me
