I decided to play along and challenge myself to read 20 21 books this summer.
The pandemic may be almost over, but my vacation plans suffered (no Scotland this year), so I will have some reading time while I relax with the puppies at a nearby beach house. Hopefully, that time will help me achieve this ambitious goal!
We’ll see if I can do it!
In no particular order:
- Think Again by Adam Grant (yes, I just finished it, but it was during summer, so it counts, right?)
- The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up
- The Light of All That Falls (Licanius Trilogy, book 3)
- The Assassin’s Blade
- The Manager’s Path
- Making Work Visible
- Testing in DevOps
- The Guest List
- The Last Thing He Told Me
- Steal Like an Artist
- Team Topologies
- The Ickabog
- The Pull of the Stars
- The Queen’s Gambit
- Viva Durant and the Secret of the Silver Buttons
- Aristotle for Everybody
- Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
- Indistractable
- The Only Good Indians
- The Malevolent Volume
- The Stand (time for a re-read, all 1348 pages… I reserve the right to swap in a different book!)
PS. Yes, I’m using this opportunity to dig into a lot of work related books I’ve been ignoring on the TBR shelf.
What books are you reading this summer?
PPS. Reading the challenge again, I see that it’s June 1 to September 1. So, I’m going to give myself a starting credit of 3, for “Think Again”, “The History of Video Games”, and “Dragonflight”, all of which I started and completed this month. I am not counting “Uncanny Valley” (started May 31) or “The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires” (also started in May).
Great idea to incorporate the professional development books too! Building on your self with more than fiction!
Good luck with your challenge 💜
