It's time for the wrap that's not quite as good as the Spotify wrap, but still one of my favourite bits of the year; looking back at the books I've spent my year reading.

This year I read 52 books, 29% were ebooks, 42% were physical books, and 29% were audiobooks. I use the StoryGraph app to track my reading.

Here's some of the books that get a mention...

  1. Imaginable by Jane McGonigal (Listen to the three big ideas here)
  2. Stolen Focus by Johann Hari (Listen to the three big ideas here)
  3. Brave New Work by Aaron Dignan (Listen to the three big ideas here)
