Book Review - Celibacy and Suburbia


I am a fan of Robyn Alana Engel's writing. Her blog, Life by Chocolate (http://rawknrobyn.blogspot.com/ ) is a hoot. As the sole author in her household ( read Woman on the Verge of Paradise), Robyn draws upon her life, her humor, and a lot of chocolate. She is a small bundle of energy with a big heart.

I was not a part of her book launch or promotion tour. Now, as someone who bought the paperback and devoured it in a weekend, I officially recommend Celibacy and Suburbia by Robyn Alana Engel.

Her dating ad mockery demonstrates her wit. Her guest celebrity interviews (Martha Stewart!) will leave you in stitches. And finally there's Calenderotica - the holiday erotic poems that make you yearn for more treats in a year.

I have to quote Janie Goltz from the back cover blurb - Robyn Alana Engel hits the G-spot of hilarity.

It's a crazy world, and Robyn is mining it for comedy gold.

Book Launch -Robyn Alana Engel: Woman on the Verge of Paradise


Robyn Alana Engel is the author of  Woman on the Verge of Paradise. I met her as we collaborated on a poetry collection Old Broads Waxing Poetic and enjoyed her wit and wisdom through word choice. Her blog Life by Chocolate is a hoot, and thus a full blown book is a scrumptious treat.

This is a humorous poignant memoir of a woman on the verge........she's on the verge of anything and everything. As a young sprite with questions, to a woman still exploring life, with a chocolate sundae on the side, Robyn shares the ups and downs of love, dating, and the craziness of the human race. We've all been in so many similar situations, but Robyn explores the niches and niggles that loose tooth until it bleeds. You will soar with her on the good times, and feel the heartbreak of the bad times.

Travel with Robyn on her life journey in Woman on the Verge of Paradise. Make sure you have a chocolate treat nearby. You won't want to have to put down this book and search for sweets.
