Week Three Post

Part One

• Read the “The RA Conversation” by Neal Wyatt.

My favorite advice from the article
 "the RA conversation is a conversation. It is not a test"

Part Two

• I listened to the podcast of Nancy Pearl talking about books. I love the way she uses humor and her personality to sell books. She is always quick and focused in her pitch. A joy to listen to even when I don't think I will like her suggestion.

The tale is haunting and will stay with you for a long time.
