For everyone who is tired of Aunt Susan asking when you're getting married, check out SINGLE AT HEART by Dr. Bella DePaulo. Singleness can be beautiful, fulfilling, and means no one steals your leftovers. #singlelife #bookselling #booksky #single #tbr apollopublishers.com/index.php/si...

"Single at Heart" book is popular in Spain

Ha! This may not be the advantage Republicans think it is. Married white women (unlike single women) vote Republican: www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/livi...
