A year with many changes — MBA, new job, new cities — meant that reading took a backseat. However, managed quite a bit of momentum (crept past a century at 101), especially when travelling. Naturally, read a lot on the new role: operations and culture were a big portion, as well as class-related economics and strategy. It became clear how different reading for pleasure and reading for need really is. Nonetheless, always interesting to explore new topics. Enjoy!
