Congratulations Melissa Buck! You are the winner of Crush It! Please email alexandra@gibsondesignmanagement.com and give me your address so that I can send it on from Amazon.

All other entries- thank you so much for letting us know what you’re reading. These are a lot of great books that we now want to add to our bookshelves (and more importantly our reading lists!).

Let’s hope that the Mid-Atlantic is done with this snow stuff and can move on to some warm weather and sitting out in the warm sun with the books.

I’m reading Success Principles by Jack Canfield — great material, very easy read and lots of “aha!” take-aways! I highly recommend it!

What the Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell. Blog readers may know his previous works, The Tipping Point (2002) and Blink (2007). This is not something I would normally read, but the reviews intrigued me.

I’m half way through and have already decided to read his prior books. Highly recommended.

Starting on “Change By Design” by Tim Brown (CEO of IDEO) in preparation for Brown’s talk/workshop at Darden later this week.

Also reading “Smart Financial Management” by William Sihler et al. for a Darden seminar I’m taking (Finanacial Management of Small Enterprises) with Dr. Sihler.

@Melissa I read Founders at Work a while back and thought it was a great book

I just started Blue Ocean Strategy after I finished up Stealing MySpace. Stealing MySpace was interesting, not as good as I thought, but gave a good deal of background on how MySpace was started and why it is failing now.

Just finishing a re-read of The Next Level by James Wood. This is one I used while participating in an Inc. Business Coaching Program way before “the storm.” It is a really good “how to book” to find where you are in the business cycle and to plan to move up!
No snow here in Baton Rouge, but weatherman says there’s a chance by the end of the week!
Also making my way through Game Change and it is great for behind the scenes looks at strategies and game plans for political campaigns as well as the rest of the stuff that we might find ourselves doing.

Just finished “Founders at Work: Stories of Startups’ Early Days” by Jessica Livingston. Great insight!
