Ask an Advisor

by Robin Rossie

Our “Ask an Advisor” column allows UF advisors to share their viewpoint and experiences. I recently asked some advisors to answer the following question:  What are you reading?

Ok, well, the book I am in the middle of is Yes, Your Teen is Crazy!: Loving Your Kid Without Losing Your Mind (Michael J. Bradley). Do I really want you to publish that? Hmmm. The most recent new book I read was The Fixer Upper by Mary Kay Andrews (chick lit). Slightly embarrassed about that one… The most recent new book that I am semi-proud of having read was The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (Mary Ann Schaffer and Annie Barrows) (totally loved it).

Boys Life!!! (Rober McCammon) I just started it this week… It is very well written – I am enjoying it very much.

I’m almost done with Nature Girl by Carl Hiassen and I just started It’s Okay to Be the Boss by Bruce Tulgan.

Nothing – at least nothing non-work related at the moment. The time I might spend reading for pleasure right now I’m using to practice my part for a handbell event I go to every October.

Think it’s fun to note that the coordinator of an online program is reading The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (Nicholas Carr). Haven’t gotten too far because I keep having to put the book down to check my Facebook page and Twitter feeds . . .
