So, I think that I single-handedly drained Arizona's libraries of all of their books. Well, no, not really. That's an exaggeration, but wow! I was surprised at just how many books I checked out after visiting 3 local libraries. I didn't see the amount I had on hand until I stacked the books in a pile on my desk.
I checked out 27 books in 3 days. What can I say? I love reading! : )! I checked out all sorts of books. Books on business start up, organization, fashion, dog training, dog breeds, healthy living, photo editing, inspiration, etc. Some I chose because they're directly applicable to my life. Others I chose because I'm interested in learning more about the subject.
Perhaps my favorite book though, is one that I return to over and over again for it's incredible motivation and inspiration. It's a book written by John C. Maxwell titled, "Today Matters--12 Daily Practices to Guarantee Tomorrow's Success." Talk about a good swift kick of motivation in the backside! I love Maxwell's direct/to-the-point encouragement that basically says, "Today Matters! USE IT and USE IT NOW!"
What books do you like to read? Any favorites you'd like to share?
This made me laugh! I swear I have read every book in the Maricopa county library system that pertains to photography...now I am starting on the business books as well!
ReplyDeleteOhh.....it's gotten worse since the last time I posted this! I think that I have an addiction to books... ; ) I especially love reading business books, French books and Christian books. I also love it when I can find a good vintage fashion book or two and some updated Photoshop books! : ) What do you like to read?
ReplyDeletePS: I also like to visit bookstores that have coffee shops in them. They let you settle into big comfy chairs and preview the books before you buy them. : ) Which is awesome--because sometimes I'll be interested in the cover of a book and don't like what the inside is about and other times, I won't be that interested in a book because of it's cover, but the inside is like gold. : ) I guess it's true, "You can never judge a book by its cover." ; )
ReplyDeleteI love historical fiction the most! I haven't read anything like that lately...just photo and business books lately. Do you have any recommendations for a good business book? I am really trying to get my photog business up and running. What have you been doing since moving to Arizona so get yours up and running here?
