Past Three Books You've Read to Recommend

[DebPC]

Favorite QuotesA terrible thing happens when you don't promote your business- NOTHING!

Your business is like a wheelbarrow- it doesn't go anywhere until you push it!

Formula for success-"Today not Tomorrow!"

Goals are dreams with deadlines.

Success comes from actions when multiplied over time, turn your potential into reality.

People will forget what you sold.
People will forget what you did.
But, they will never forget

A bend in the road is not the end of the road,
unless you fail to make the turn.

Work as hard for yourself as you would for someone else.
how you made them feel.

Learn to listen. Opportunity may be knocking on your door very softly.

For every person who climbs the ladder of success,
there are a dozen waiting for the elevator.

Two rules for achieving anything-
1. Get Started!
2. Keep Going!

 

[Admin Greg]

Humans have the remarkable ability to get exactly what they must have.But there is a difference between a "must" and "want."

"Motivation alone is not enough.If you have an idiot and you motivate him,now you have a motivated idiot. "

"The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore."

"The difference between failure and success is doing a thing nearly right and doing a thing exactly right."

I learned this quote at a past ConferenceThis is good after a bunch of No's.

Some will, some won't.
It's ok, who's next.

 

[kcjodih]

Treat your business like a business, because hobbies are expensive!

 

[BethCooks4U]

[Chef Chrissy]

A favorite quote of mine is:

"Everything is available right outside of your comfort zone"

 

[DebPC]

More...My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
Oprah Winfrey

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
Jules Renard

You can’t afford the luxury of a negative thought.
Peter McWilliams

Consider the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his head out.

We learn from experience. A mother never wakes up her second baby just to see it smile.

"Either discipline yourself to use your time and energy to fulfill your dreams or you will be disciplined by others to use your time and energy to fulfill their dreams. The choice is YOURS!" ~John Crowe

Never short-change yourself and your dreams.

This is good after a bunch of No's.

Some will, some won't.
It's ok, who's next.

One of my upline Directors taught this to us as SW4

Some will
Some won't
So what
Someone's waiting!

Meaning if you get a yes 1 in 10 times, don't worry about the no's, just know that your yes is right around the corner. This is one of the things that really stuck with me from her New Consultant Training.

"Thomas Edison tried 2000 times to invent the light bulb before he succeeded. When asked about that many failures before success he replied 'I did not fail, I merely learned 2000 ways to NOT make a light bulb" Nicolas Cage in the Movie National Treasure

 

[DebPC]

That's right! It's all in the attitude.

 

[Admin Greg]

I just got done reading these books and recommend them!

1. Life of Pi
2. Brief History of Progress
3. A Thousand Splendid Suns

 

[cmdtrgd]

1. The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett - it starts the Discworld series
2. Death by Black Hole - still working on this one
3. River out of Eden - still working on this one, too.

 

[Shawnna]

I don't get to read much. The last book I actually was able to complete was the last of the Left Behind Series. I would recommend all of those.

 

[imported_heat123]

The last book I read and liked was Memoirs of a Geisha. Love all Grisham books too! Need to get his latest!

 

[JAE]

OOO! Grisham has a latest? What is it? I didn't like the non fiction one he most recently wrote. BORING! But I like most of the other ones. I used to read more often, but I couldn't tell you the names of any books I read unless they are non fiction. I like Dr. Oz's book "You on a Diet". It's not like it sounds. It's basically a health book.

 

[imported_heat123]

I can't remember what it was called but it's not totally new (I just haven't read one of his books since the painted house or the street lawyer maybe). But I think there is a more recent one?

Ok, I looked at his site and his latest books are:
Playing for Pizza I think 2007
Innocent Man 2006 (first nonfiction book I think it said). I want this one!

 

[JAE]

Innocent Man was soooo boring and hard to follow. I did read the entire thing, but it would have been better as a newspaper article IMO.

 

[imported_georgiapeach]

I don't have favorite books...but I have favorite authors

1. Dee Henderson
2. Lori Wick
3. Karen Kingsbury

I devour books so I read books, love them, then move on to the next. Ooo...that makes me sound so sleazy

(When I discovered Dee Henderson I read 6 of her books in 7 days!)

 

[imported_jenniferp417]

* The Time Traveler's Wife

The book club I joined...but yet to go too...bad on me...read the Time Traveler's wife. I need to catch up....lucky for me I read very fast.

 

[imported_jenniferp417]

I read fast too. You'll love that book. It's amazing. I just checked out the audio book from the library - I want to read it again and I thought listening this time might be fun.

[jrstephens]

I have jsut completed Debbia Macomber's series about a knitting club and she has another series about different addresses in a town. They are all great!

I am working on Sandra Brown's latest Play Dirty

And John Grisham's Playing for Pizza.

They are both involving football players - must be the time of year, ha!

 

[Teresa Lynn]

The book before the last 3 I read was her newest "address" book. (I do suggest reading them in order)
I get her emails and write on ym calendar when her books and Janet Evanovich's are released.

 

[erinyourpclady]

I LOVE to read but hate buying books. You know, once you buy it, then you keep it to read a few more times and then all of a sudden you can't see your nightstand!

I need to check out the library in my new town....

 

[janetupnorth]

1. A Bug, A Bear and a Boy Fly a Kyle
2. Picking Apples and Pumpkins (Clifford)
3. Birds in a Tree

(DD is learning to read and has to read every day....)

 

[caynreth]

Last three books read:1. Hyperspace by Michio Kaku. Highly recommend.
2. Fatal Voyage by Kathy Reichs. This series just keeps getting better as I go.
3. Talyn by Holly Lisle. Her best work thus far. She's created a wonderful world.

 

[chefheidi2003]

I can't pick three so I will put it this way...I recommend any of the Nicholas Sparks books...he is great.

 

[katie0128]

Innocent Man
A Thousand White Women
Night

 

[friday]

I have to say that Twinkie, Deconstructed by Steve Ettlinger I LOVED. It is not fiction, and it is not action packed. But I couldnt put it down. VERY GOOD book for the person who wants to know.

 

[LOVEpamperedchef]

Anything by Nicholas Sparks, I love him

 

[TwinGirlsMom]

* The Time Traveler's Wife
* Water for Elephants
* Archangel - Sharon Shinn (first in a sci-fi/fantasy series)

I loved The Time Traveler's Wife!
Any of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series
Anything by Marne Davis Kellogg
The Notebook and The Wedding--both by Nicholas Sparks
I also enjoyed Thirteen Moons by Charles Frazier

 

[DebPC]

The last book I read was Angels and Demons. It was right before we went to Italy in late spring. Loved it and really enjoyed seeing many of the places featured in the book while we were there.

Has anyone read Grishom's newest Playing For Pizza?

 

[Brandi2007]

The Power of Focus - Les Hewitt
Harry Potter series but the last one was REALLY good
Anything by Nora Roberts

[chefkristin]

I don't have much time to read other than Doctor Seuss but I do love anything by Nora Roberts, Debbie Macomber and Danielle Steel.

[imported_jenniferp417]

I loved Water for Elephants! The ending was a bit too neat but I loved it.

 

[reba515]

thanks...i work in store that sells books and I must sell at leaast 3 or 4 copies of this a day, but of course they haven't read it yet so they can't ggive me an opinon yet

 

[imported_jenniferp417]

I read a TON so I can often give my opinion on most anything.I kept track of everything I read in 2007: http://jennifer.vox.com/library/books/
And thus far in 2008: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/732185?utm_medium=api&utm_source=banner_widget&shelf=read

 

[reba515]

The Pillars of Earth is another on on my list to read I see you gave it 5 stars..good read?

 

[imported_jenniferp417]

I could not put it down. I've got its "sequel" on my hold list at the library. I haven't read any of his contemporary fiction, but his historical fiction is out of this world.The sequel is set during the time of the Black Death and centers around the same town and cathedral.I cannot recommend this enough.It's a HUGE book, so be warned you're going to be living in medieval times for a WHILE unless you're a speed-reader.

 

[ddbritt]

I have some

1. Twilight-Stephenie Meyer
2. Leonardo's Shadow-Christopher Grey
3. Black Duck-?

 

[reba515]

okay so far EAT,PRAY,LOVE blows.

thanks for the other suggestions.

it used to be i would read a book to the end no matter what, now i just can't do that so i'll read a few more chapters and see if i can finish
