It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday - Mar 13

Welcome to It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday.   

 


It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.     

Happy Monday before the latest storm, everyone! We are due for another storm that starts tonight and will go into Wednesday morning. It won't be too bad around here, and we still aren't sure how much rain versus snow we will get, but the prediction is 3-6" of the white stuff. Much better than in the hill towns, which are expecting between 6 - 18". No thanks. I am ready for spring. 

Not a ton of reading going on lately. I am in the middle of preparing several property listings and working on formatting and editing a series of books, so not a lot of down time. 

My review of this one appeared last week. You can read it here.



In the mornings, I am now reading from this John Maxwell book.



I have broken away from these two for the time being. Not because I'm not interested in them, but because I have other commitments. 




I need to start reading this one for an April 24 review. 



Upcoming virtual book tours:
  • Path of Peril by Marlie Parker Wasserman - Mar 13
  • The Vanishing at Castle Moreau by Jamie Jo Wright - Apr 24 (review)

Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.


My physical mailbox remained empty this week, but I grabbed this one with an Audible credit. I enjoyed Cockerell's book Creating Magic so much that I knew I had to read something else from him. 



Executive time management secrets from a life at Disney. During Lee Cockerell's career at Disney as the Senior Operating Executive of Walt Disney World Resorts, he led a team of 40,000 Cast Members (employees) and was responsible for the operations of 20 resort hotels, 4 theme parks, 2 water parks and the ESPN Sports Complex. As you can imagine, Lee had to become a time management expert, first as a means of survival and then as a way to help others make the best use of their time. The time management secrets he developed have become one of his most requested corporate training lectures and are now available to you in this tell-all book.

However, this book is not just about Time Management. It is about Life Management. "Management" is defined as the act of controlling. The executive time management secrets contained in this book will help you keep all parts of your life under control and jump-start your personal and professional growth.

I hope I can get back to participating in Top Ten Tuesday tomorrow and post some First Chapter Reviews soon. Have a great week, everyone!

The cover of The Code certainly is eye-catching, as you mentioned in your review! Not sure it's for me but I do love that cover. I am very interested in the Castle Moreau book though - that one is on my TBR. Happy Reading!

I hope your weather turns out okay.
Our Pastor gave the board members Get Up and Grow: 21 Habits of Successful People by Duke Matlock. I have just started but I think I will like it.
Have a good week and Happy Reading!
