Borna’s Monthly Book Recommendation: ‘The Wisdom of Teams’, by Jon R. Katzenbach and Douglas K. Smith

Team work is essential to a lot of things.  I am quite relieved to know that Borna is reading up quite avidly on the topic–not only is it helping him as a member of the community as well as professionally, he has been able to infuse our relationship with the wisdom gained through such reading… Read More Borna’s Monthly Book Recommendation: ‘The Wisdom of Teams’, by Jon R.

Borna’s Monthly Book Recommendation: ‘Do The Work’, by Steven Pressfield

Borna and I have many a common interest, which bodes well for our marriage 😉  One of them is creativity; more specifically, the role that work and discipline have to do with bringing creativity to life.  How do you balance out letting one’s creativity loose while making sure the right channels have been created for… Read More Borna’s Monthly Book Recommendation: ‘Do The Work’, by Steven Pressfield

Borna’s Monthly Book Review: ‘Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City’, by Guy Delisle

My husband and I spent a few years in Israel, and so were immediately attracted to this book, a recommendation made at our local library’s Tuesday Night Library Nights event. Borna finished it first and liked it so much that it got bumped up on my TBR list! His review is short so I won’t… Read More Borna’s Monthly Book Review: ‘Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City’, by Guy Delisle

Borna’s Monthly Book Roundup Number 4

My husband and I are currently living in a lovely little area that has a wonderful library, which, as you can imagine, we have been taking fully advantage of.  The benefit of using a library versus a bookstore–other than the savings!–is that older books are as clearly marked and accessible as newer books.  Borna picked… Read More Borna’s Monthly Book Roundup Number 4

Sahar’s Reviews Presents: Borna’s Monthly Book Roundup Number 3

The third edition of a round-up of my husband’s book reviews on Sahar’s Reviews is not as much as a round-up as, well, just one review of a book that I also read and enjoyed just as much as he did. Borna rated Monsieur Linh and His Child (by Philippe Claudel) 5 out of 5… Read More Sahar’s Reviews Presents: Borna’s Monthly Book Roundup Number 3
