Welcome to the group, tuckea!

If you ever need any suggestions for a particular section, let me know. I've got quite the stand-by list.

Welcome to the challenge!

Thank you. I'm hoping to mine some of the TBR books from my personal collection, though since I work at a public library the temptation to bring home random books is sometimes too strong to resist.

I just finished The Definitive Book of Body Language by Allan and Barbara Pease. It certainly wasn't deep or scholarly, (or "definitive') but it was an interesting enough read. I expect it was written to appeal to an uncritical business community and not to anyone who expecting empirical evidence.

I'm not sure what's next. My collection is heavily weighted to 700s and 800s.

If you even mildly enjoyed the body language book, the Peases have another listing at DDC 158 with Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps. They apparently put out a bunch of those pop-pysch books which make for interesting conversation starters.

Thanks for the recommendation.
