pickI found this to be both an interesting and tough read. With some of the material covered, I had at least a vague awareness of. With others, I was able to learn a good amount. I can't say I agree with every single point in the book, but I did find it very educational and thought-provoking.
pickVery interesting book about the emerging markets, technologies and economies that will shape the next century. Very simple, well written and easy to follow.

Choosing a book didn‘t get any easier for February, but since I highlighted a fiction book in January I thought I should highlight a nonfiction in February
Other honorable mentions are: Christmas at the Beach Hut by Veronica Henry, The Swifts by Beth Lincoln and The Strangeworld Travel Agency by L. D. Lapinski
Next up for reading. I got this as a birthday gift a while ago.
so-soI really like Bernie. I feel like he is one of the few politicians who care. And this is a fine enough book, but I wouldn‘t call it “a progressive takedown of the uber-capitalist status quo.” I would call it his ‘presidential campaigns in book form‘.
Of course there is plenty to glean from him, and it certainly raises my sense of a call to action. But ultimately I was hoping more for Bernie the Philosopher instead of Bernie the Politician.

And as inspired by @Amiable my favorites from past years:
