Publisher's summary
After 35 years of marriage, Janie J suddenly found herself single and 60.
Would she be able to start over? Would she be able to handle everything on her own? Would she need a chiropractor after using the riding lawn mower? Would her new business be enough to survive on? Would she be able to find new friends? Would she get into shape without plastic surgery? Would she ever be happy again? Would she find a new love?
This is a true and honest and often funny biographical account of Janie J's adventures, misadventures, and discoveries. Her life seemed to be falling apart, but in the middle of rebuilding her finances, doubling down on her business, finding new friends, getting fit, and yes, looking for love, Janie J kept her wits about her, and more importantly, her sense of humor.
Single and Sixty is a poignant, honest and funny look at one woman's quest to survive and then thrive after divorce later in life. Janie J writes like a friend who is willing to give you self-help advice in the form of sharing her own foibles and failings. This isn't a self-improvement book. It simply shows you how one woman applied herself toward motivating herself, building relationships, building back her self-esteem, and even finding a bit of spiritual awakening.
But this partial biography (it covers about four years of Janie's life) could also be the memoir and story of any woman who has found herself suddenly single through divorce, breakups, or worse and is feeling lost. It's relatable and encouraging to know that someone else has had a similar experience and come through it to the other side.

Story
Throw Out Fifty Things is truly an eye-opener. According to Blanke, our lives are so filled with junk from the past--from dried up tubes of crazy glue to old grudges--that's it's a wonder we can get up in the morning, never mind go to work, care for our children and parents, and just put one foot in front of the other. Blanke wants to start a movement of people across America throwing out 50 things (magazines count as one!) that will help liberate us from the stuff - both physical and mental - that clutters our lives.

In 2014, Elizabeth and Nate Thames were conventional 9-5 young urban professionals. But the couple had a dream to become modern-day homesteaders in rural Vermont. Determined to retire as early as possible in order to start living each day - as opposed to wishing time away working for the weekends - they enacted a plan to save an enormous amount of money: well over 70 percent of their joint take-home pay. Dubbing themselves the Frugalwoods, Elizabeth began documenting their unconventional frugality and the resulting wholesale lifestyle transformation on their eponymous blog.

Danielle Bernstein spent her youth shopping at discount department stores, getting boozy in suburban backyards, and proposing marriage to every boy she dated. By age 19, she was a college dropout living in a West Village shoebox with three roommates and only six months to prove that her blog, @WeWoreWhat, could become a full blown career...or else board the train back to her mom's house. This Is Not a Fashion Story is the down and dirty tale of how a Long Island-born teenager became one of the most recognizable names in fashion.
