I managed to read 64 books this year and my pace definitely increased after buying a new Kindle for Prime day. Overall, I read a lot of “fun” books and a few non-fiction, too. I even accidentally read my first romance book? And then a few more not accidentally???

Here are some standouts

Still on my desk to reference at work:

1. Design for Cognitive Bias - Tough conversations are a little easier when you can use the fancy jargon. Sorry!!!!
   1. Also, I used Red Team, Blue Team (one of the techniques suggested to combat bias) in a workshop and my CEO emailed me after to say it was a “really great, intellectually honest process,” so
2. Copywrong to Copywriter - I have to write copy sometimes and it can be tough or uncomfortable. This helps get me unstuck and more confident.

Audiobook recommendations:

1. Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention - and How to Think Deeply Again - Johann Hari does such a great job narrating his book, it’s so warm-hearted and engaging.
2. How to be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question - Amazing assist from the cast of The Good Place. The little dings for the asides had me Pavlovian trained to laugh.

Kindle Unlimited recommendations:

1. The Ninth House
   1. I really enjoyed the sequel, Hellbent, too!
2. The Song of Achilles
3. Olga Dies Dreaming
