About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

We Need Your Art: Stop Messing Around and Make SomethingWe Need Your Art: Stop Messing Around and Make Something by Amie McNee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was recommended by the Your Tube channel, Kelly Kander, and I borrowed it from my local library.
Some information I needed to hear about a two-week reset, procrastination, perfectionism, and patience.
There may be something you need to hear too.
