You Are A Mogul by Tiffany Pham. If you or anyone you know aspires to work in the digital era and want to build skill sets in different areas, read her experiences. The side hustles are real and so is Internet connectivity/mobile technology.

I'd say this would be a good career book to share with tweens/youth who already phone or social media savvy. Read the introduction-it's for everyone.

I have been going through lists on Goodreads and picking potential future books to read from them.

The only thing is some times the reviews have too much detail and end up being spoilers, kind of frustrating!

Read the classics, let the trash take itself out.

I am so annoyed with the latest Dean Koontz, I had to put it down for awhile. It's told mostly from the point of view of the bad guys where the other books were mostly surrounding Jane Hawk. It's not just that though, the story line is just getting too much. I've never said that about a Dean Koontz novel before. I just picked up the lastest Shari Lapena, An Unwanted Guest, from the library. Her other two books were very good, hopefully this one doesn't disappoint.
