Coffee Talk With Moíra ♣ ~ April 21, 2012



Practice Kindness This Week...Feed Your Soul!

Visiting around this week, I happened across Tickles To Giggles.  Please take a few minutes to read this excellent post about Random Acts Of Kindness!  This gal took her kids on a 'Random-Acts-Of-Kindness-Lollapalooza'!  From morning to evening, this family spread smiles all across their town.  It sort of got me to thinking...

What if I took my boys and we attempt only three things in a day?  How will it affect them?  How will it affect me? 

Watch for my updates!  We're planning our Day Of Kindness!

    I've see others use the Random Acts of Kindness as a way to highlight/spotlight a new-to-them author as well, a way of giving that author a few new eyes to see what that author had to offer. Seeing what your Coffee Talks are like, I better hurry up and get my stuff together because this is very nice. Will be back in tough, again, very soon :-)

Euphemania-Ralph Keyes: Review and Giveaway

A Book About Why We Speak As We Do We tend to read a lot of fiction here at the Brazen Broads Book Bash, so it's always nice to get our hands on some good nonfiction books almost as a way to cleanse our palettes sometimes.  Ralph Keyes book, Euphemania ,  is the perfect mix of informative yet interesting.  In it, he shares the reasons why we use euphemisms so often in our daily speech.  The main idea behind the book is that euphemisms are used to make the uncomfortable more comfortable.  Therefore, they're very common in discussions about sex.  One anecdote offered in the book refers to Jesse Jackson's threat during the 2008 election in which he stated he wanted to "cut off Barack Obama's nuts."  Keyes explains that the major news organizations struggled with how to report this, using euphemisms such as Jackson wanted to do something to his sensitive areas.  (It escapes the Broads why they couldn't just say Jackson wanted to castrate him.)

Tuesday Teaser ~ May 1, 2012

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading . Here's how it works.. Grab your current read Open to a random page Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure what you share does not give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!) Share the title & author too so other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers! An Oldie But Goody.... Okay.  I know what you're probably thinking.  A book about war??  Not for me.  No way.  Uh-uh.  Now, now.  Don't be hasty to dismiss this great read.  I stumbled across Tom Clancy, a master - really - during the mid 80's as a young teen.  (Ages ago, right?  Ha!)  I bought a collection of Clancy novels for my father for a Christmas gift, and a few months later, bored and looking for something to feed my voracious appetite for books, I decided to give old

Hi, All!  I've been absent the last two weeks, catching up on my reading.  Now I've got a new teaser to share.   Mina reviewed one of Katie MacAlister's books awhile back, and that review left me eager to search out this author.  When I saw this title, I had to give it a try.  One hilarious escapade after another, Men In Kilts is sure to elicit a giggle even from the staunchest of readers.  If you like humor sprinkled throughout your romance once in awhile, this is sure to p
