Book Club
&
A few moths ago I posted a Tweet asking for some book recommendations of the Creative / Business variety. I was about to head off on a little trip and needed some good page turners to see me through the flight (I’m not a fiction girl!). As always, the Twitter community didn’t disappoint and the suggestions came flying in.
Some I’d read, some I hadn’t, but I took at peek at each and every one on Amazon and put together a very nice little shopping cart – so thank you for all your pointers. In the sharing sprit of Twitter, I thought it a good idea to formulate all your suggestions into a big old list. So here it is.
If you have any additional suggestions you think should be on the list or if you’d like to give a book a thumbs up (or thumbs down?!) drop it in a comment at the bottom.
Happy reading!
