I am in my last semester of coursework for my PhD- so I've been studying for my qualifying exams as well as working on my dissertation in my "spare" time, but I still do like to read for pleasure when I can.
I wrote about my 2018 Reading Goal and am on par to read my 50 books this year.
Book #6 was
I enjoyed the style of the book, the writer herself was good. It was an easy read. I'm not sure that I totally understood or perhaps buy into some of the content, but it was worth a read. One of the things I'm working on is just learning how to communicate better, be a better leader at work etc. I felt like this gave me some good perspectives to think about for sure. I would recommend this book.
Book #7 was
This book has been around for a while and is on a lot of lists of "must reads" for managers, leaders, etc. Again- since I'm responsible for about 11 other faculty at my current job- I am trying super hard to learn how to best lead. This was a very fast read. Like probably 2 hours and you are through. It was light and had some good points. Would recommend if you are in a leadership position and want to learn to communicate better.
Book #8 was
I could read Christmas novels at any time of the year and when my library gets a new one in I tend to scoop it up. This had a lot of my favorite components; historical, Christmas and just a nice feel good story. There were of course some sad parts ( Civil War time period) but overall was a very nice book. I found it nice to cozy up with and would recommend.
Have you guys read anything good lately? What have you been eyeing at the library to read next?
I have been meaning to read something by Brene Brown, and have decided that if it's going to happen, it's going to have to be an audio book.
ReplyDeleteI could see her being great on audio book. I feel like some of the humor in the book would come through better that way :) Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThanks for sharing these great reads over at #WoW Words on Wednesday.
