Goals!: How to Get Everything You Want -- Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible | Brian Tracy

One week into the new year isn‘t too late to post my 2026 reading plans, right?! And yes, like every year, I hope to read down my TBR. I hope to use #BookSpin, #192030, and #50x50 (which I‘ll post more about in a separate post!) to help me with that.

Taking stock of my 2025 reading, I did make a dent in my physical TBR: 53 print books +3 Kindle. ALMOST 1/2 library, 1/2 owned.
Own: 53
Own Kindle: 3
Own re-read: 14
Library: 78
Library re-read: 7
⤵️

BarbaraJean Then again, I‘m starting off the year, as per usual, with #AuldLangSpine, which starts me off with lots of library reading 🙃 I‘m also planning to read along with #OokBOokClub and pop in and out of #ChristiesCapers, which don‘t always align with my already-owned TBR. And then I made a last-minute decision to try to keep up with #USPresidents, which will end up being mostly library reading, so… we‘ll see how the year goes! 3d

Daisey This is a fantastic meme! I always hope to read more of my own books, and do read some, but I‘m much more a library reader. 3d

BarbaraJean @Daisey Thank you! I made it myself 😁 3d

ADKAR: A Model for Change in Business, Government, and Our Community | Jeff Hiatt

So before I can read what I _want_ to read, I must read this for work. I hate this sort of stuff but we‘re having a Senior Leadership retreat on it next Thursday and Friday, so I better get busy. 🙄

BookishMarginalia May the force be with you 💪🏻 1w

Lcsmcat @BookishMarginalia Thanks! 1w

Amiable Any time I‘ve ever had to read books like this for work, there‘s a discussion and then everything and everyone goes back to just doing what they were doing before. 🙄 1w

Lcsmcat @Amiable Yep. But I‘ll read it closely enough to parrot the lingo at our retreat. 😀 1w

Amiable @Lcsmcat Ha ha! We have an underground bingo board that circulates among several of us before quarterly staff meetings. It includes all of the most recent buzzwords in our organization. It entertains us while listening to our VP drone on. 😄 (edited) 7d

Lcsmcat @Amiable 😂 7d

Lcsmcat Done. I‘ll never get that time back. 7d

The Introvert's Edge: How the Quiet and Shy Can Outsell Anyone | Matthew Pollard

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Yes, I did spend literal hours getting my internet working this weekend so to avoid a tech appointment tomorrow, simply because I hate making awkward small talk when people fix stuff at my house. But me & my new customer service chat buddy Saron, finally got ‘er done.

Here‘s my haiku about it. 😉😂

Introvert Logic

Hours spent chatting
With customer service reps

No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson | Gardiner Harris

pick

I thought I knew corporate corruption from Empire of Pain, but this one shocked me. No More Tears exposes how Johnson & Johnson knowingly caused harm for decades while maintaining a trusted public image. Enraging, meticulously reported, and essential reading about corporate power and misplaced trust. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

melissajayne Heard about the book through Thoughts from a Page 2w

Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It | Tahl Raz, Chris Voss

Forgot to post this book! It was a very good read and I wish I could retain the information I read and use it in the real world. I mostly remember “mirroring” and “how can I do that?” in negotiations. I need to read it again, absorb it more because holidays interfere with my readings 🤪
Read it 11/19 to 12/22.
