Because of my severe anxiety, which often causes me to hide out in my house for days at a time, my first thought upon reading this book was #ItsMyLife. #RockInMay

Cinfhen Then you must be fun, with a twist of quirky too 😉💗🙌🏻 #ItsmyLife 7y

Absolutely loved this book.
It is the story of Charging Elk who, while travelling with Buffalo Bill Wild West Show, gets stranded in Paris. How he struggled to adjusting, and how he slowly finally interested in French life.
But it is also the story of an entire people, because Charging Elk's arc as an individual follows the same trajectory all Native Americans' lives followed.

Slightly belated for #itsmylife. Loved these #graphicnovel #memoirs that I finally read this year after having them on my #TBR forever. Satrapi is an excellent storyteller, drawing the reader into her childhood & young adulthood with her words & images in a manner that makes the reader want to know more about Iran & its recent history.

Cinfhen This was an 'easy" way to learn about the Iranian Revolution ~ I thought the format worked perfectly for this story 7y
britt_brooke These are SO good! 7y
lauren.lerner Exactly my feeling about them, @Cinfhen. And I totally agree, @britt_brooke! 7y

#rockinmay #itsmylife Writing is what a love to do more than anything else, and here are my favourite books on and about writing (plus my pig bookend!).

Cinfhen Wish I could write! 7y
MaleficentBookDragon ❤️💙💜that bookend! 7y
KerriNTurner @MaleficentBookDragon it has a pig butt end as well, but it was on the other side of some folders and didn't fit in the pic 😄 🐷 7y

#RockinMay #itsmylife Having spent 20+ years in some sort of Human Resources capacity for companies & consulting on my own, it's (at least a part of) my life. Therefore it can filter how I view characters & situations in books I read-especially books set in the workplace. Bridget Jones, love you--but...HR nightmare! Lucy & Josh of The Hating Game, I so wanted to fire you both when I met you for being so childish at work. You get the picture...😱😬

Cinfhen Sounds like a nightmare! Now I get why you left corporate 7y
Purrfectpages I worked in corporate and don't miss it all, but the education world is more and more like corporate every day:( 7y
annkuch13 I'm about 1.5 years into working in HR and I totally see this happening already to me! I just can't turn it off. 7y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen It does wear on you after years of it. I try to spend more time working w/ clients on the training side of things. 😆👍 @Purrfectpages I havn't worked in the education world but sat on a board to help create a business program for a university a few ears ago & was surprised at some of the similarities. 😬😬 @annkuch13 It's hard to totally turn it off. Even not being in the day-to-day of one company I find my HR hat jumps on my head! 😇😬 7y

I was flummoxed, so I took a bunch of personality tests. When this came up, I stopped. It's perfect. #itsmylife #rockinmay

Cinfhen I've never taken a personality test! 7y
