Monday!



Monday Recommendation List

Random list of 10 books Monday! I have read and enjoyed each of these enough to flag for a potential personal library purchase.

Be bold and just choose randomly, stick to your normal genre...or step outside of your normal
reading zone and try something you usually wouldn’t. You can look up the descriptions at Amazon.com, or search my blog for old posts by entering the title in the little search box in the top left-hand corner and clicking the magnifying glass.

This week-- 10 recommendations (in no particular order):

CEO of Me

CEO of Me: Creating a Life That Works in the Flexible Job Age by Ellen Kossek

I admit that, at times, I struggle with work/life balance. If you are in the same boat, this is a good read. It contains some great advice and helpful scenarios. One of my favorite sayings is, "If you don't have a plan, you are part of someone else's plan." This book helps me remember that I have my own plans and I am in total control of those plans!
