READING CAN MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL

Reading can enhance your life. Studies show that the most successful people are the ones who read. We can learn a lot by picking up a magazine, a book, or a newspaper. I think it's great to be able to talk to others about what you read, too. Reading promotes conversation, intelligence, and knowledge. So, what are you waiting for?

I think everyone has a story to tell, and we should. For many years, I got away from writing fiction, but I have had a great time writing my first novel as an adult. Changing real-life situations into fiction helps heal the heart.

What can I say about Life? Mine has been tough at times, but I'm grateful that God has given me mercy, grace, and love. I love my life and the family I've been blessed with.

Quiet - Susan Cain


The book, Quiet, by Susan Cain, is a very interesting book.

While I enjoyed reading about the concepts of “The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking,” I found my mind wandering when I didn’t necessarily understand some of the points. I did learn, however, that while some people can be considered extroverts because they get along well with others and seem to enjoy being in a crowd, they could actually be introverts. For instance, Cain writes that some consider introverts to be shy, but they aren’t necessarily.

This book is good to read if you are trying to know yourself better, and if  you are able get through the somewhat tedious language (at times).

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
