My reading list is never short, but as the year comes to a close, there are so many Best Of The Year lists that get published and I am left wondering how I missed so many good books.
Most lists cover fiction and creative non-fiction in an exhaustive way. I wish more outlets covered practical non-fiction. There is so much to recommend.
Here are a few places to look for your business and self-help needs:
- The 2019 Porchlight Business Book Awards Longlist
- Amazon’s Best of Business and Leadership for 2019 (Super Pumped: The Battle For Uber by Mike Isaac was their top choice)
- Strategy + Business Best Business Books 2019
- FT & McKinsey Business Book of the Year – Longlist and Shortlist
- Inc’s Must-Read Books for Entrepreneurs (hint: always trust Leigh Buchanan)
Here is my current list of books to read that covers a pretty wide range of topics
- Reboot by Jerry Colona
- Blockbusters by Anita Elberse (second time through it)
- Poilane: The Secrets of The World-Famous Bread Bakery by Apollonia Poilane
- Batman: The Court of Owls Saga by Scott Synder
