More than 1,200 people trust me to bring them the absolute best book recommendations I can each week, but there’s only so much that I can fit into one email without overwhelming people!

So, what I’ve been doing is publishing the “long” version of those emails here, and sending the short version to my email newsletter subscribers, same as always.

If you’d like to sign up for my newsletter but haven’t, you can do so here, and I have even more book reviews and reading tips on my YouTube channel.

I’d also like to thank my newest supporters on Patreon, Mike G and Anyuon A, and I’m excited to announce that so far we’ve raised $530 for Doctors Without Borders and $150 for First Book! It’s a great start!

Today we’re taking a look at:

Effortless, by Greg McKeown

The Fun of It, by Amelia Earhart

A History of Reading, by Alberto Manguel

Steering the Craft, by Ursula K. Le Guin

The Death of Ivan Ilyich, by Leo Tolstoy

A short summary of each book is below, along with some of my best notes that I’ve personally taken from them.
