Books I'm Reading
Starting in 2025, I’m going to be listing out all the books I’m reading and have read going forward.
I LOVE seeing what others are currently reading.
I assume many do as well.
Well, here is my list.
I am planning to write personal reviews and reflections on many of them as well.
Ratings explained:
= Terrible!
= Nothing really beneficial here
= It was Good
= A GREAT read!
= Perfection!
Books Read in 2025
| Month | Book | My Rating | Quick note | Written Review |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | Never Enough: From Barista to Billionaire by Andrew Wilkinson | Overall a great read. Much to learn here about networking, business, seeing the bigger picture, and the meaninglessness of money on its own. | N/A | |
| January | Skills of a Successful Software Engineer by Fernando Doglio | A good book for those new to the industry. Basic topics, but deep details and practicality. | N/A | |
| January | Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk | It had it’s moments. It has its meanings and one-liners. But nothing memorable for me, at least. | N/A | |
| February | The Will of the Many by James Islington | I mean…fantastic! So upset there was no second book yet (I did preorder though). Having loved Red Rising so much, this was along the same vein and an excellent story. | N/A | |
| February | The Shadow of What Was Lost by James Islington | Not quite as riveting as the above book by Islington, but nonetheless an excellent start to what looks to be a promising trilogy. Glad to know all three books are complete also 😛. | N/A | |
| March | Algorithms to Live By by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths | An intriguing look at how we use algorithms (or can use algorithms) in our day to day lives like in sorting, making the best decisions, scheduling, caching (yes we do this). For me it was helpful to put a name and to pinpoint many of the things I, kind of, subconsciously did anyway. We read this in the Travis Media Community | N/A | |
| March | The Developer Advocacy Handbook | Broad coverage of topics. I only needed to read a number of chapters to get up to speed, but overall very insightful. The content is obviously from a seasoned Developer Advocate and authentic. | N/A | |
| April | An Echo of Things To Come by James Islington | The second in the Licanuis trilogy. This one was much “deeper” than the first, but did a great job of expanding on more details of the overall story. Very excited to start the third and final book. | N/A |
