2021 Reading List
"Today a reader, tomorrow a leader." ~ Margaret Fuller
The end of the year means time to reflect. And being the proud nerds we are, that includes reflecting on our year's reading list.
In 2021, we hit a grand total of 32 books read (our current personal best), and there were some proper good 'uns in the mix. For those interested, we've put a little ⚡️ next to the five that changed the game for us the most.
Otherwise, here's our full list ordered alphabetically (by author's first name) and # tagged by category (ours, not the author's).
