In Stacy’s Book Notes, I share the most relevant and helpful takeaways for smart and caring women from a variety of books–not just the ones you might expect.

I also add mention of my knitting or gardening just for fun.

You can get one quote, a photo, and a link to the book note via InstagramLinkedInTwitter, or FaceBook nearly every Tuesday. Newsletter subscribers will automatically receive a digest each month.

(Please note: I only write book notes for books I discover on my own or recommended by a client, student, newsletter subscriber or personal contact.)
