INTERVIEW: With a Few Book Lovers

December 16, 2019 by Jim Peacock Leave a Comment

This is a follow up to my blog last week on my 2019 Book Reviews my annual blog for book lovers…like me.
 
Typically, I do an interview related to my blogs each month, and this month is no different. What is different about this interview is that I interviewed three people “live” while attending the Mid-Atlantic Career Counseling Association Conference (MACCA) 2 weeks ago and then “discovered” another book lover on LinkedIn and just had to add her!
 
Special thanks to Jane Finkle, Karen Chopra, Paula Brand, and Lametra Off for talking with me about books…one of my favorite subjects.
 
Book lovers interview with Lametra and Jim
Also special thanks to Jessie Parsons, my Virtual Assistant, who edited three videos together to make one 🙂
