Wrinkles, Science, Brain and ABBA


If I were the suspicious type I would think these next five books from Carlton Books had a central theme: old age.

After all, I am in my late 60s and for some mysterious reason each book has something that pertains to growing old, being old and how to prevent brain loss, memory loss, simple lessons on how to do things and music from the past.

Hmmmm, come to think of it all of the books DO have a certain getting older connection.  None more so than the first two books on my review list.

Two new books from Carlton’s Wrinkles series proves that just because you’re getting l that doesn’t mean you’re getting more mature.

In the Bedside Companion older folk get some advice on how to get their forty winks.

Speaking from experience I can testify that getting a few extras minutes of sleep, a good night’s sleep and the occasional nap does wonders for you when you get a certain age.

Far from boring the book offers dream-inducing quotes, jokes and anecdotes that are guaranteed to result in a peaceful night’s sleep.

In a Plethora Of Puzzles oldsters challenge their brains with a wide variety of puzzles from easy to hard in a variety of formats.

Need a good swift kick in your over-the-hill gray matter?  Then this is the book for you!

Even old folks need nerdy solutions to life’s little problems.  Age does not guarantee an easy life-far from it.

In Science The Sh*t Out Of Life you can learn anything and everything from where to sit at the movies to how to sleep well.

It’s fun, colorful and extremely informative list of do and how-tos that help to make life’s little problems a little bit easier to take and solve.

Graham Jones’ Brain Teasers will tantalize and train your brain with 200 baffling puzzles-and they do mean baffle!

If you want to give brain a major workout then tackle this book.  After a few pages your brain will throb, your memory will be challenged and your reasoning skills put to the test.

Talk about old times.  Way back in the 1970s there was a singing super group called ABBA consisting of two men and two women.

They were super popular and produced an impressive roster of number one hits.

ABBA The Stories Behind Every Song by Robert Scott, is a wonderful tribute to the group complete with archival photos and insider information,

Now, over 40 ears later they as a popular as ever and rightly so.  Their repertoire of sings is still relevant, catchy, fun to dance to and most of all fun to listen to.

Hailing from Sweden the group broke the international music scene barrier and became a world-wide hit loved by million.

The book is ABBA-solutely wonderful!
