If you haven't read @nkjemisin's The City We Became, it's brilliant. I almost never read a series until all volumes are published (got deeply burned by the Wheel of Time). For Jemisin, however, I'll make an exception. Her writing is just SOOOO good. https://t.co/n5uavucsDj

Negotiation. One of the most universal skills you can develop. Possibly the most important. I’m listening to @VossNegotiation’s book “Never Split the Difference” as an audiobook today. This will be the sixth time I’ve read the book. There’s no other b…https://t.co/zaT9oWSfDI
