July 14 #SummerSpecial Survival This book seems appropriate today following a tornado touchdown about 5 km from both my daughters place of residence yesterday. There were 125 houses damaged there in a neighborhood of Ottawa. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

This is from an American point of view, so some of the things in here weren't relevant to me.

There wasn't much to be learned here either for me as I've read most of the things in other books.

When I bought this book, I knew nothing about it, I bought it because of the title.

After buying it though, I quickly found out that it was first printed in 1905, so it's severely outdated and only some of it was transferable.

I've been pondering this #bookjournal format for awhile and I'm ready to give it a try. The sections are To Remember, To Do, and Geeking Out! I read a lot of #nonfiction and have tried taking notes like I learned in school as well as marking passages-- neither methods are working for me. Hopefully this will!
If you decide to try this format, let me know how it goes! Do you have a note taking format that works well for you?

📚my books are organized by category
📚In my library! This picture isn't of all the shelves, but you get the idea (and it's messy because I'm in the middle of adding another bookcase and organizing)
📚 Physical copies with the occasional digital cookbook
that's on sale and I want to test. I actually buy about 98% of my books secondhand, so I don't have a preference between hard or soft cover

Such a great read so far! I'm excited to implement what I learn!

300 year old contraption to keep 7 books open at the same time. Let's bring it back! 📚

This is the kind of practical advice I am here for.

I loved this book! This man intuited leadership essentials long before people were thinking or talking about leadership. There are movies about Shackleton that are also great. But if you‘re wanting to learn about leadership essentials, you‘ll want to read this book.
