Borges’ essay-like works of fiction are “filled with private jokes and esoterica, historiography and sardonic footnotes. “Reading the work of Jorge Luis Borges for the first time is like discovering a new letter in the alphabet, or a new note in the musical scale,” writes the BBC’s Jane Ciabattari. ![]()

![]() ![]() He states that this is additional evidence for the power of focusing and prioritizing. ![]() Chapter 5 critiques multitasking, with Keller drawing on research that shows it can harm energy and attention. Keller cites the “80/20 Principle,” which states that 80% of success comes from 20% of effort, to argue that there is value in devoting attention to the most impactful tasks and goals. Chapter 4 contends that believing all things are equal is a mistake. Part 1 of The ONE Thing (“The Lies”) then examines myths and misconceptions that surround traditional characterizations of success. Chapter 3 reviews examples of businesses and individuals that Keller views as successful, showing that all of them have benefited from focus and the help of mentors. In Chapter 2, Keller uses the metaphor of dominoes falling in succession to illustrate how tasks undertaken in the pursuit of a goal are most effective when they are incremental and cumulative, with a view to long-term purpose. Focusing in this way, Keller advises, ensures that goals are best aligned with purpose and prioritized in such a way that you can achieve them. Chapter 1 outlines Keller’s idea of the “ONE Thing,” which means focusing on the most important task or concern of a given goal. Keller divides The ONE Thing into three major parts but prefaces these with three introductory chapters. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the final book, Jenny tries to put her dark past behind her, but reluctantly begins babysitting again, and, predictably, it doesn’t go well. The third book introduces Jenny’s cousin, Debra who is also a babysitter, and begins receiving menacing phone calls of her own, while Jenny is visiting her. ![]() Her newest kid is a brat with a genius IQ, who she suspects of playing hurtful pranks on her.

Lookout Entertainment has announced that it is developing a TV series based on R.L. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Our main character, America Singer, is from caste five and she does not wish to try out for the Selection despite her mother’s request. Doesn’t this sound familiar? □ But the only difference from being similar to the Bachelor is the Dystopian setting where people are divided by castes (1 through 8 where 1 is the highest and 8 is the lowest). Within this series, 35 girls are chosen to take part in The Selection which is basically a competition to see who will win the Prince’s hand in marriage. Overall, I thought this was an “ok” series and it did have a bit of a second book slump so I had to give this a 3.5/5 stars. I kind of understood what to expect from this novel when I first picked it up since it was described to be a YA take on the “Bachelor in a Dystopian setting” but there were a few twists here and there which I didn’t see coming. This series was seriously out of my comfort zone since it was mostly romance driven however, I decided to give it a chance.

I’ve known Ava since we were in nappies, and nothing is able to completely wipe her good mood like Eli’s presence.
