Ooof... 48\. A new Dojo record for books read in a year 🔥 

Of course, reading isn't meant to be a competition or race, but we're certainly finding books – of all media – are providing the highest ROI at this moment in time. And you know how strongly we feel about one's [content diet](https://www.dojoactors.com/content-diet/). 

This year, instead of putting up our entire list for you to sift through, we've handpicked our two favourite books from each of the main genres we read. All are absolute gems we'd highly recommend, so hopefully, they might offer you the same value they did us. 

Full disclosure: as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases. Meaning, if you purchase any of the books via the links below, we get a couple of cents from Amazon (at no extra cost to you). Muchas gracias in advance for your support!
