So I joined Goodreads when I first started working for BCPL (has been a year now), after a bunch of co-workers highly suggested it, and I'm addicted to it. Like most people I add a lot of books to my "To Read" category and I feel like I will never get around to them because there are so many books, but so little time, and when you see more books that you want to read and you just keep adding them to the "To Read" category. It is a frustrating cycle to say the least, but still enjoyable. Until this week's assignment, I never thought to add my own shelves, instead I've only had the "To-Read," "Read," or "Currently Reading" shelves. I just created a "Self Improvement" shelf, a "Historical Fiction" shelf, and a "Dystopian/Apocalypse" shelf.
The one book I recommended to my colleagues at work, and to you if you are reading this, is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. I'm still reading it, and my cousin recommended it to me. It is a book that allows you to self reflect on your present thinking of yourself. It is a personal development book with a spiritual, almost calming tone, but whether you are spiritual or not, Tolle speaks to his audience in the present tense to whatever journey you are on in life.
