It's April, and it's been a funny month of starting books, not finishing books, and desperately trying to squeeze books in so that I did finish them. So here we are; two books read, two books retired, and two books in progress.

This month I'm talking about...

Books I read
📚 Before and Laughter by Jimmy Carr (audiobook) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
📚 How to Work With (Almost) Anyone by Michael Bungay Stanier (pre-release)

Books I didn't finish
📚 Superforecasting by Philip Tetlock (DNF)
📚 The Persuaders by Anand Giridharadas (DNF, TBC)

Books I'm still in the middle of reading
📚 Future Normal by Henry Coutinho-Mason and Rohit Bhargava (WIP)
📚 Born a Crime by Trevor Noah (WIP)
