/ Marcia Meara

It’s Tuesday again, folks, and time to welcome our guest of the day, Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene.  Teagan is sharing a review of her book, Speak Flapper – Slang of the 1920s, and I know you’ll enjoy reading about this one. I’ve always been fascinated with the  decade, myself, and I have this book coming up  very soon on my Kindle. Really looking forward to reading it. In the meantime, please help Teagan get the word out by sharing this review far and wide. Thanks! (And by the way–how perfect is this wonderful cover? Exactly right, if you ask me.)

An entertaining & informative book

I really enjoyed this book. Author Teagan Geneviene’s book ‘Speak Flapper’ is entertaining, informative & a good introductory book to the words & talk of America in the 1920s. I loved all the ‘Jazz Age’ words in the book. The book was really enjoyable & a fast read.

I loved the history notes & 1920s trivia mentioned in the book; they gave me a lot of perspective about USA in that decade of the 20th century. I loved the reference to James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’ & many other trivia that made me realize the origins of so many words related to the Jazz era. I also realized that I unknowingly use so many Flapper words & phrases which all originated during this era. Some of these words are Baloney, Big Cheese, Clam, Crashing Party, Get it, All wet, Old fruit, Mrs. Grundy, Jalopy, Hitch, Killjoy & so many other words.

All this is penned beautifully by talented author Teagan Geneviene. This book certainly gets 5 stars from me. Kudos to her on a job well done! I look forward to reading more fiction & non-fiction books by her in the near future.

BLURB:

Speak Flapper – Slang of the 1920s is a dictionary of slang from the Roaring Twenties.  I collected these terms while researching my various fictional stories set in the 1920s.  I am a member of the Rave Reviews Book Club (#RRBC_Community) and this book is part of their catalog.  Speak Flapper debuted an Amazon #1 New Release in its category.

The book is intended for entertainment purposes.  It is also peppered with history and trivia about the era.  You might use it in preparing for a 1920s costume party, or for a gathering to watch a favorite movie or TV show set in the Roaring Twenties.  Or use it for the simple personal fun of speaking flapper!

You’re the cat’s pajamas!

    • It was my pleasure to have you visit us today for #ShareAReviewDay, Teagan. I love the entire concept of this book, and MUST get started on mine soon! (SO far behind!) I was happy to share such a super review, and hope you’ll share more in the future. Oh, and I messed up on the scheduling time, so this didn’t go live until 8:00, instead of the new time I’m aiming for. Doh! But it’s here now, and the floor is all yours this morning, though I may have an unplanned for surprise this afternoon. 😀

    • You are so kind, Robbie — thank you. I saw your review of “Fiona Finch & the Pink Valentine” and was thrilled. Now Fiona is in my head, demanding her “real” book that I’ve wanted to write. LOL.
      I agree about Fiza’s writing. I recently finished her “Reclusive Writer and Reader” book and was amazed. It will be my second RRBC review, coming up the first week of March.
      Thank you for all your support, my friend. Hugs!

  13. Marcia, thanks for sharing this great review of Teagan’s book. Every era has had a group of people that defined a time period by their actions, way of dressing or speaking, the flapper girls defined the 1920’s. Congratulations to Teagan for this great book idea.
