    Hello, I would like to submit my self-published book for review consideration. Author: Georgia Madison Title: Gettin' Down to the "Real" Nitty-Gritty, Life: American Dream or American Nightmare ISBN-13: 978-0983341802 ASIN: B017ON3OWQ Publication Date: November 6, 2015 Link:http://a.co/hUEqqeA In this unpredictable life, a lot of times we find we have to "laugh to keep from crying" and it makes us question if: "Life is Beautiful," "Life is a B*tch Then You Die," "Life is Hard But I'm Glad I'm Here." There's a popular saying out these days that says, "Keep it Real." If you want to read a book that really keeps it "real" regarding everyday life, you have to read Gettin' Down to the "Real" Nitty-Gritty by Georgia Madison. This book is not only "real," it's also bold, humorous, down-to-earth and very entertaining and that's for real. Really! Brothas and sistahs, Ms. Madison pulls no punches. Through forty chapters, this enthusiastic author has no qualms with calling it as she sees it-thus, anyone who endorses political correctness should be forewarned! From the words of Ms. Madison, she states "I am not trying to come off as a psychologist or a preacher, I'm just coming to you as a sistah and I'm going to be stepping on a lot of toes, but if what I say doesn't apply to you then don't be offended, if it does, then you need to do something about it. Brothas and sistahs, I have written many chapters that are designed to make you laugh, but I have also written some chapters that are not at all funny and they are straight from the heart so I want y'all to take them serious and stop all of this BS because we have a lot of problems we need to resolve."
  2. For 53 years, sources have been insisting that President John F. Kennedy's assassination was a deed perpetrated by a cabal of men who wanted him dead because _____ . Fill in the blank. No matter how many investigations and hearings and theories were set forth and books written, it has never been conclusively proved that this act was committed by anyone other than a single, disgruntled, sharp shooter named Lee Harvey Oswald. In other words Fate, as it often does, played a trick on us and this killing was a fluke. The same with Princess Diana's death. But the public has a hard time wrapping their brains around the idea that such momentous events can be random. As far as I am concerned, unless you believe in the illuminati, Trump's election was the result of unforeseen events coming together, and his "victory" was a fluke that surprised even him. He, himself, never expected to win. That's why he kept insisting that the election was rigged and that he was the one who was a target of the media and behind the scenes machinations. His election was not the result of wily billionaires but dumb bigots feeling sorry for themselves. When sensational unexpected things occur, they become fodder for the "aha, you can't fool me" conspiracy community quick to "romanticize" a calamity because they've seen too many movies. People feed on these type of events and all they need is for someone to come up with a concocted scenario to confirm their suspicions. Of course, these are conclusions reached by gut instinct and old age, both of which have convinced me that there is no rhyme or reason to Life. Shit happens.
