Review & Giveaway: Get Rid of the Performance Review! by Samuel A. Culbert


I remember when I had my very first performance review. I was awesome at my job but at the time I wasn't very confident and I'm sure that showed in my meeting. One meeting a year is not a good way to judge the people who work for you.

If you are interested in learning more about performance reviews, you should read this book because it is full of fresh ideas.

Review: To Nourish & Consume by Ryan O'Reilly

Brian and Dabney are best friends and they both want the same girl. Jackie has known both of them for a while but in the end she chooses Dabney who brings in more cash.

When graduation comes and goes, Brian is heartbroken and in deep desperation, he leaves home. For ten years he has mourned the relationship that could have been. Is he finally ready to put this behind him and open himself up to a newfound love or will he spend the rest of his life loving the one who got away?

I was totally able to relate to this book. I think we’ve all been in a situation where we cared deeply about someone who didn’t feel the same way. This book spoke to me in ways that I can’t even begin to describe. Ryan is a talented writer who knows how to capture emotions and keep a reader interested.

Disclosure: I received a copy of this book so that I could write an honest review.
