My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Career Path Compass - Unlock yourself: Find a job with purpose and a life with meaning by Amaro Araujo is another fine book by this author that offers positive advice when it comes to navigating your career and your personal life. The author is currently a national key account manager and speaks many languages that help him in that endeavor. The writing is inspiring in this book as the author recounts his own experiences in the corporate world, lessons he has learned, and in doing so, offers solid advice on how to truly achieve the career of your dreams without sacrificing your personal and home life. He shows that it is important to work toward your life's vision, one that is important to you and beyond the scope of just working a job. "Are you the driver or the car?" This simple question opens up a world of opportunities to explore in managing a work/life balance. Once again, Amaro has written an eye opening and inspiring book. Highly recommend.

Clement: Boy Knight of Normandy by Craig R. Hipkins

Clement: Boy Knight of Normandy by Craig R. Hipkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Clement: Boy Knight of Normandy (Clement, #1) by Craig R. Hipkins is masterfully crafted story featuring well defined characters and a beautifully rendered setting. This is the first book in a promised trilogy and if this book is any indication, you are in for some more fine reading. The author's novel Aldalbert exposes us to some great characters, and this one continues in that vein, carrying forward some of those same characters. Full of adventure and skilled storytelling, this novel has Clement as the main protagonist, a 13 year old boy living in a castle. Clement has an evil uncle, Sven the terrible which makes for a challenging relationship between the two. These aspects all come together in an entertaining way, certainly geared toward younger teens, this book will appeal to an older age group as well. Fun, engaging, and creatively written, this book is highly recommended.
