Will Post for Profit: How Brands and Influencers Are Cashing in on Social Media

3.5

informative fast-paced

This book was super interesting! It talks about influencer marketing both from the influencer perspective and the brand perspective. The appendix is literally 30% of the book and has a ton of resources. I listened to the audio, but wouldn't mind having a physical copy to revisit the sections on FTC compliance.

Our Revolution: A Future to Believe in

Bernie Sanders

4.0

hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

This book is quite long (the audio was 18+ hours), but I still really enjoyed it. I enjoyed learning more about Bernie's political history, especially prior to his presidential run. The bulk of the book, which is narrated by Mark Ruffalo, is incredibly informative about topics such as climate change and taxation, which I really enjoyed.

WOW. I have been sleeping on story collections and that was a mistake. This is my second one this month and I really enjoyed it. There are definitely dark topics in this book, but I would have gladly listened to a full length book of each of these stories.

I'm so glad so many of my friends were reading this in the past few weeks because it gave me some serious FOMO... I finally sat down and read this one and was not at all disappointed. I am forever here for a coming-of-age story about friendship and family and working together to overcoming hardship.

challenging hopeful inspiring medium-paced

I received a free copy from Baker Books in exchange for my honest review.

I have a complicated relationship with religion, but I still really enjoyed this book. You definitely don't have to be a Christian to get a lot out of this book; I found it very easy to skip over heavily religious sections without missing very much content.
