I learned a new word today - quinquagenarian: a person between 50 and 59 years old. I learned this because I found the following list on Goodreads:

I am reading Next Level your guide to kicking ass, feeling great, and crushing goals through menopause and beyond by Stacy Simms and Selene Yeager. must read for active women going through peri menopause and after.

I read Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Mtthew Perry - although this is a memoire and it is over his entire life, I think it still counts because he was 52 when then book was released :) GREAT READ!

I read "Arthur and Teddy Are Coming Out" by Ryan Love. It's about a grandfather and grandson navigating life outside of the closet. It was too predictable for my tastes.
