In January I read some great books.

Chasing God by Angie Smith
Bringing up Girls by James Dobson
The Go Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann
Some Assembly Required by Ann Lammott
So far, I think my favorite as been The Go Giver. It wasn’t very long, but the story was powerful. Honestly, it was a simple premise and not poetic beautiful phrases, but the lessons I took away were powerful. A salesman is struggling and decides to meet with a “guru” to learn the keys to stratospheric success. I know. It doesn’t sound profound. It sounds like a self-help motivational book. It’s better than that. Trust me!
So, what should I read next? Do you have a book you love or are waiting to read?
This is not a new book, but I always recommend Tuesdays with Morrie to anyone who hasn’t read it.
I was picking up something for Don at the library and the librarian asked if I wanted a “blind date with a book.” She had a basket of books wrapped up with Valentine’s paper, each with a short synopsis on the outside, but you couldn’t tell what was until you got home and unwrapped it. I was game, so I looked through and found a “mystery by a female author.” Turned out it was great and by an author I hadn’t tried before. I finished it in my free time over the weekend – it was pretty light reading, but a fun plot and characters.
That is so fun!
