It’s Friday! I feel like I have finally got back on track this week. I completed the rest of my work from job #2 and I can now officially say I am down to one day job. This means it’s time for my three month freelancing experiment. I got a lot accomplished this week and things are looking up!
Weekend Reads
I recently finished Jon Acuff’s book Quitter: Closing the Gap Between Your Day Job & Your Dream Job
If you are unsure of what your dream job is he challenges you to fill in the blanks. I am a ________, but I want to be a ___________. Then make a solid plan to get you where you need to be while learning from your day job. I give this book an A+
I recently bought a Kindle. I don’t have a smart phone and I thought a Kindle could potentially save me money in the long run on books. My 4 year old daughter has basically taken it over 🙂 She refers to it as “her Kindle.”
So I am in need of some book suggestions? Anyone read any great books lately?
Weekend Plans
We have already started Easter Egg hunting at our house. I have hid eggs at least 30 times over the past week! If the weather is good I will take the girls out this weekend and have an egg hunt in the yard. Other than that we will have a pretty laid back weekend.
I have a couple projects I have been working on and it took awhile but my online ventures are beginning to take a positive direction. And next week is womens money week so the personal finance blogoshpere will be filled with fantastic posts all meant to bring awareness to women’s finance.
I hope you have a fantastic weekend!!
My favorite ways to read books lately:
1. Hear of a great book, go online on my library’s website, put this book on hold and have it delivered to my nearby library branch for checkout. They email me when it’s there — a GREAT system that also works for movies!
2. Hear of a great book, go online at half.com or amazon.com and find it for a few cents plus $3.99 shipping, buy it and spend less than $5. Cheaper than most ebooks.
3. Check out my church’s free books area, my library’s $1/each book area, and my neighborhood’s Little Free Libraries.
4. Browse at Goodwill or Half Price Books. Many many great books for $3 or less.
Very true, buying the used books would be much cheaper than EBooks. I need to be having books delivered to my local library from others, I feel like I have already read everything there that is of insterest to me.
