The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World | 
pickMy cat decided to move when I took this photo 😂
I grabbed this on a whim at the library as I love all books about introverts. It‘s old (2002) but still had some good info. It reminded me I need to get myself out there and out of my comfort zone more. Something I had actually planned to do before Covid so I actually find I‘m excited for the day when I can finally do those things I planned
Just started the tagged book last night. I love introvert books 😂
1. Dentist and hair cut are both scheduled for the same day!
2. Watching TV shows with my best friend over the weekend. She lives in Chicago so it‘s a long distance thing where we chat through google‘s hangout app while watching but it‘s so fun! Kept us both sane this last year with all the Covid restrictions

so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️ — I give this three stars because it started out extremely well. I found out more about my own introversion and quirks I have that are actually common introvert traits. But when it started going into how to manage being an introvert, that half of the book just wasn‘t for me. A lot of those tips I‘ve figured out long ago, but it may be helpful for those that have not!
so-soGetting back into the reading swing... but not sure I‘ll reach my goal of 75 for the year! #swensonreads #swensonreads2018
Favorite: Where the Crawdads Sing
Meeting a friend for coffee/dinner and am the first one to arrive and am so glad we picked B&N to meet at so I don‘t have to awkwardly stand around and wait for her to get here and have books to entertain me! #introvert
Pretty much me in a nutshell. 😄
Quick work at home breakfast of homemade Strawberry-Peach Chia Seed Jam on English muffins spread w/2 fresh nut butters I got to try-walnut & pecan. The pecan butter is awesome, the walnut one has less flavor (both are just ground nuts) but perks up w/the jam & a bit of sea salt. Should probably show my computer as I'm still madly working on a deadline but I was looking up a chapter on introverts at work I want to reference in a workshop.😋🍴📚
so-soSome of this was informative, like "Oh, that's me" kind of informative. Other parts seemed to generalize and be kind of condescending.
Spent the evening with friends and favorite former coworkers having pau hana drinks and pupus.
Time spent genuinely enjoying socializing and catching up = 1.5 hours. Time spent thinking about being home in pajamas with tea and a book = 4 hours. Time it will take to replenish energy and recharge batteries from overstimulation of external world = probably the rest of the weekend. Ah, the joys of being an introvert! 😬 #happyreadanebookday
Apparently I have a thing for books with #whitespines. Who knew? #augustphotochallenge #day25
Now I have to put all these books back... 😕
The main antidote to shame is self-esteem. Tell yourself that you are not flawed. Nothing is wrong with you. Your brains works in another way.
