Publishing schedule

Not all books are shown in the image above since some are digital.

Hello and welcome to my book blog!

 

Thank you for joining me on my learning adventure.  I don’t have much free time, so I’ve opted for a biweekly publishing schedule.  I read these books and wrote the posts last year in 2021.  I will publish them according to the schedule outlined below.

 

In the meantime, I will continue to read and write as best I can.  Note that not all of these posts are reviews. In some of these articles I simply share insights and key takeaways I found fascinating, which I would like to share.

I’m always interested to hear what you, my readers, have to say.  Many people in the world are far more knowledgeable and experienced than I am in various academic fields.  So, please do me a favour and send me your book recommendations.  Or, let me know if there are any subjects you’d like me to write about; I might be able to read several books on the subject and distill the main themes and takeaways for your convenience and entertainment. 

 

Enjoy,

Usman
