We don’t have an official book club, but we do like to be entertained by a good read.

I was introduced to this book by a ‘women entrepreneur’ article on mentoring.  I  have some great mentors so I clicked on the article.  This particular entrepreneur was mentored by Katharine Graham through her book “Personal History“.

It took me a solid month to finish the book, starting at Thanksgiving and finishing at Christmas, it is over 600 pages.  And while some parts may be hard to identify with, it is a wonderful read.  The history, her personal story and the rise of women in the work place are each chronicled in a lively and realistic way.

We recommend this book for you, got any recommendations for us?

Our office is rife with books, we find them an effective escape when things get stressful.  We also read books to the children among us.  For us, it is imperative that a book meant to entertain a young child have wonderfully engaging pictures.  Then the child can ‘read’ the book to herself and we can continue conducting business.

One of our must read authors is Barbara Cooney.  We especially like the following.

If you have a small child in your life, consider this author for holiday gift giving.  It will lead to lots of special snuggles!
