About 12 Books

My blog 12 Books is an evolution of a book review project I did in 2018 called 52 Books.

I wanted to read more and write more, so I set the goal of reading and reviewing a book a week.

I’ll write reviews of non-fiction books about personal finance, wealth mindset, leadership, careers, digital transformation and more.
