I hope you all had a great Christmas.
It was fun seeing my 3-year-old and 14-year-old daughters spend all of 30 minutes totally destroying the living room with wrapping paper, torn cardboard and discarded toys. You know those people who sample everything at the buffet but never finish any one dish the walk back to their table with? Yeah… That’s what my daughters reminded me of.
Gotta love it, right?
I actually got a book for Christmas. Yes! And guess what? It was made out of…you guessed it…paper!
A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose (Oprah’s Book Club, Selection 61)
I haven’t had a chance to crack it open, but I’ve heard it was good. So, we’ll see…
I got 4 books….
3 signed copies: Susan Gunelius’s “30-Minute Social Media Market”-am on pp.170-171.
Mark Amtower’s “Why Epiphanies Never Occur to Couch Potatoes” and his “Selling to the Government–What It Takes to Compete and Win in the World’s Largest Market”.
Reviews and Interviews for these books will be on my biz blog, Amazon.com etc.
The 4th book: Eknath Easwaran’s “Conquest of the Mind–Take charge of your thoughts & reshape your life through meditation”.

Wow, getting signed copies must be a good feeling. And the fact that these books look like lifechangers is an added plus.
Thanks for commenting!

Little Black Girl Lost Part 1-5. by Keith Lee Johnson. I believe it is the entire series.
Wow! I’ve never heard of this series, but I must be the only person in the world who hasn’t. After doing a little research, I see that Mr. Johnson is a force to be reckoned with. You got some real good reading ahead of you.
Let me know your thoughts on this series when you get a chance.
I got Jay-Z’s “Decoded” and Iyanla Vanzant’s “Peace from Broken Places”
Ok, ok… That Jay-Z looks like it’s going to be an interesting peak into what makes him tick. I know he’s too smart to lay all of his cards out there, but he’s smart enough to lay enough out there to keep one’s interest.
And Vanzant’s book will also be an interesting look into her life after “making it big”.
Thank you for sharing.
I received three books:
“Pedagogies of Crossing: Meditations on Feminism, Sexual Politics, Memory, and the Sacred – Perverse Modernities” by M. Jacqui Alexander; “American Gods” by Neil Gaiman &
“Tipping the Velvet” by Sarah Waters
I also received an Amazon gift certificate so I’m going to order “Word Warriors: 35 Women Leaders in the Spoken Word Revolution” by Alix Olson and Eve Ensler & a few other non-decided works.
Wow, this is a great selection. How did you come across such a diverse group of books?
I have to look these up.
We read a lot of mysteries just for entertainment. Got the latest James Patterson book – so he wouldn’t kill Alex Cross – and the latest from Laura Lippman, “I’d Know You Anywhere.”
I’ve heard of James Patterson, but I need to look up Laura Lippman. Thanks, Maryann.
I got the 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss, which is pretty good so far.
Wow, let me know how you like this book when you’re finished.
