The Anti 9 to 5 Guide: Practical Career Advice for Women Who Think Outside the Cube | Michelle Goodman

One of the many books I have on my shelves that I‘ve never read. I think I skimmed it when I first bought it a few years ago? Maybe? There might be some good advice, by I suspect the ladies from #9to5 would have some more entertaining things to say. 😉

The Introvert Entrepreneur: Amplify Your Strengths and Create Success on Your Own Terms | Beth Buelow

#FierceFeb #9to5 Going to non-fiction for this prompt with the latest business/self-help book I loaded on my Kindle but have not read yet. Freelance consulting is never 9 to 5 but part of my workdays often has to be generating new clients & business, something the introvert in me doesn't love. (Networking, selling myself...ugh, ugh, ugh!) 😱Even though I am told I come across as confident, inside it's not so much so I'm hoping for useable tips.

Cinfhen, batsy

batsy I do freelance copywriting and as an introvert, you're right, the networking is the worst part 😓 I might have to check this out! 7y

Reggie Hey, sometimes you have to fake it. One time I was dating a guy who was a bit above me. And when we were out I really had to steel myself against my insecurities. Nobody roots for the person who doesn‘t root for themselves. So good job fake extroverting the hell out of yourself!!! 7y

Zelma Looking forward to seeing what you think of this one. I need major help in this area. 7y

Cinfhen You come across as very confident and in control, Deb!!! And super personable ?but I get it's scary putting yourself "out there" 7y

DebinHawaii @batsy @Zelma I will let you know what I think. I'm going to try to fit it in this month. 📚👍 @Reggie I have gotten good at the faking it! 😆👍 @Cinfhen Thank you! 💜 I can do it all pretty comfortably except when it comes to the hard selling of myself--just not my favorite thing at all.😬 7y

LitsyOwl Yep. Me too. Yep. 😶 7y

The Hating Game: A Novel | Sally Thorne

#fiercefeb #9to5. My new favourite contemporary #romantsy book is perfect for the prompt. Lucy and Joshua are professional rivals working in a newly merged publishing company. They “hate” each other: nudge-nudge 😉 wink 😉

Cinfhen, batsy

batsy This seems to be a popular one on Litsy :) Looks like a nice feel-good read! 7y

Dragon That‘s true @batsy a very fun palette cleanser 🐉 7y

In and out of Vogue | Grace Mirabella, Judith Warner

Grace Mirabella worked her way up from retail sales at Macy‘s and Saks to the top at Vogue. After working 38 years at Vogue magazine (17 as Editor-In-Chief), she was very publicly fired. She then created a new magazine, Mirabella. #9to5 #FierceFeb

Cinfhen, batsy

Cinfhen Interesting!!! 7y

Christine11 Sounds really interesting 😊 7y

DivineDiana @Cinfhen @Christine11 It is! Particularly if you are interested in the fashion industry. 7y

Velvetfur That sounds like a really good book, and I've never heard of Mirabella, maybe it didn't come to the UK 🙁 7y

DivineDiana @Velvetfur Not sure about that. It was published from 1989-2000. 7y

batsy That sounds like it would have some great insider info about fashion magazine publishing. I'm quite intrigued by how it works behind the scenes! 7y

DivineDiana @batsy It certainly does! 7y

There But For The: A Novel | Ali Smith

Ali Smith can take the ordinary #9to5 and turn it into to something almost magical. Her words and her characters swept me up into these strangely intertwined stories and left me with a smirking appreciation of life‘s devastatingly quirky mundanity.

#FierceFeb

Cinfhen, batsy

Cinfhen Great photo and lovely book description 7y

emilyhaldi Agreed 👆🏻 can't wait to read this one! 7y

merelybookish That cover is so pretty. My copy has a bright yellow dust jacket and title in black. 7y

saresmoore @emilyhaldi I really liked this one. Although, I‘ve really liked everything of hers that I‘ve read! 7y

saresmoore @Cinfhen Thank you! ♥️ 7y

saresmoore @merelybookish I had to scour AbeBooks to find this cover in good shape—worth it—and I think it only cost me about $5! 7y

emilyhaldi I was on a roll with Ali Smith too until I read this one, and unfortunately wasn't a fan. Have you read it? I will continue to read everything else of hers though 🙂

Public Library and Other Stories

saresmoore @emilyhaldi I haven‘t read that one yet. I‘ve actually been hesitant to try it for some reason. Thank you for the heads up—I won‘t rush to read it! 7y

batsy You've intrigued me with that description. And agreed, that cover is lovely! This is where I shamefully admit I've never read Ali Smith. Do you recommend a particular book to start with? 7y

saresmoore @batsy Autumn is such a beautiful book. I don‘t think you could go wrong starting with that one.

Autumn

batsy Excellent, thanks! I keep glancing longingly at the cover in the store... Time to get it :) 7y

Moray_Reads @batsy oh, I love Ali so much. She's a joy and a delight and a marvel 7y

vivastory @batsy I wholeheartedly second @Moray_Reads 7y

saresmoore @Moray_Reads Well said. 7y

ValerieAndBooks I‘ll have to look for this — cool title, too! 7y

saresmoore @ValerieAndBooks Oh, I think you‘ll love it! Lots of clever wordplay with even more heart. 7y

batsy @Moray_Reads @vivastory ❤️ I really don't know why I havent read her yet! I definitely will 7y

Serotonin Omgosh. Let me know how that book goes. I might need it for 3.5 year old boy 7y

lucylovestoread @Serotonin I found it really useful! The author is a bit of an old school Australian doctor but comes across as knowledgeable and funny. If nothing else it's a good reminder to be as patient as you can, even when you really can't. It's not the listed book as couldn't find it in the database, I hope you can find it! 7y
