Judith Viorst is known and loved by readers of all ages, for children's books such as Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day; nonfiction titles, including the bestseller Necessary Losses; and her collections of humorous poetry in her decade series, which make perfect gifts for birthdays, Mother's Day, graduation, Christmas, Chanukah, or at any time of year.

Suddenly Sixty is a funny and touching book that speaks directly to the sixty-ish woman, inviting her to laugh about, sigh over, and come to hopeful terms with the complex issues of this decade of life.

Among the poems in this charmingly illustrated collection are those exploring the joys--and strains--of children and grandchildren, and the intimacy of old friends who've 'known each other so long/We knew each other back when we were virgins." There are poems that tip their hat to mortality, wrestle with a husband's retirement --"He's coming with me when I shop at the supermarket/So I won't have to shop alone. I like alone."-- and acknowledge the fact that at this stage of life we'd "give up a night of wild rapture with Denzel Washington for a nice report on my next bone density test." Offering plenty of laughs, a few tears, and cover-to-cover truths, these are poems for everyone who would "rather say never say die than enough is enough." Every woman who has reached this decade will--rueful and smiling--find herself in the pages of this book.

Incredible, perfect
Flavor Name: Zero Ultra, Size: 16 Fl oz (Pack of 15)
This is definitely the best flavor of Monster! No calories, but full flavor. I can't get enough of this stuff. It does cost a bit, but it is worth getting every once in awhile as a treat. I love it, and I would definitely recommend it. There is a high level of carbonation, so it doesn't go flat too quickly.

This Stuff Turned My Morning into a Rocket Launch – No Crash, Just Pure Chaos!
Flavor Name: Zero Ultra, Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 24), Flavor Name: Zero Ultra, Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 24)
I popped open my first can of this sparkling energy elixir expecting the usual lukewarm disappointment, but instead, it hit like a caffeinated unicorn tap-dancing on my taste buds. The flavor is ridiculously good – think tropical punch meets crisp citrus without that artificial "why did I do this" aftertaste. It's completely sugar-free, so no sneaky crash later, yet the carbonation is perfectly balanced: fizzy enough to feel exciting, but not so aggressive it turns your esophagus into a launchpad. Digestibility? Flawless. My stomach thanked me instead of staging a protest, which is a miracle for someone who once considered coffee a food group. As for effectiveness, this bad boy delivers exactly what it promises and then some. The caffeine content is spot-on potent – enough to power through a soul-crushing workday or an impromptu home renovation project without the jitters or heart palpitations that usually come with high-octane drinks. I tackled my to-do list like a caffeinated superhero, all while staying hydrated and focused. Five stars for turning a regular Tuesday into an epic quest. If you're looking for clean, bubbly motivation in a can, stop scrolling and add this to your cart immediately. Your future self will high-five you.

Great taste without the sugar crash
Flavor Name: Zero Ultra, Size: 16 Fl oz (Pack of 15)
I picked this up because I wanted an energy drink that wouldn’t be loaded with sugar, and this one honestly surprised me. The flavor is really light and refreshing—not too sweet or overpowering like some other energy drinks. I’ve been using it mainly in the mornings or when I need a quick boost, and it definitely helps with energy and focus without making me feel jittery. One thing I really like is that there’s no heavy aftertaste, which I’ve noticed with other sugar-free drinks. Pros: Zero sugar but still tastes good Smooth, not too strong or artificial Gives a noticeable energy boost Cons: Might be a little too mild if you like very strong flavors The price can add up if you drink them often Overall: I’d recommend this if you want a cleaner-tasting energy drink without all the sugar. It’s easy to drink and does what it’s supposed to.
