Mistborn: Secret History by Brandon Sanderson
Rating: 3/5
Summary: I only read Mistborn: Secret History, which is only one book within this larger book. It was a fun read but it’s written in the shadow of the original Mistborn trilogy so the outcome is already known. The value in reading is a lot higher if you’re a Kelsier fan or you want more details about Ruin, Presevation and how their powers work.

Intangibles by Amer Kaissi
Rating: 2/5
Summary: Not actually healthcare specific. I’d say it contains a lot of good material, but I’ve heard it all before so it was pretty boring. A lot of stories I’ve read in other books, the ones I hadn’t didn’t really interest me. Sometimes I feel like if you’ve read one leadership self-help book you’ve read them all.

Way of the Shaman: Survival Quest by Vasily Mahanenko
Rating: 4/5
Summary: It’s broadly similar to Ready Player One, but the mechanics and goals are totally different. It was actually pretty unique although somewhat predictable. Translated from Russian it felt like an angsty teenager wrote it in one sitting but it’s still oddly satisfying.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
Rating: 3/5
Summary: I pretty much read this all in one sitting. I’d recommend reading it that way too. I don’t read a lot of murder mysteries so it wasn’t really my jam but as far as murder mysteries go it was pretty good. A little on the dark side but I think that goes with the genre.

Building Wealth One House at a Time by John W Schaub
Rating: 3/5
Summary: A good book about houses as investments. Really went into more detail than I actually wanted so I skimmed a bunch. This is the book to read when you’re about to actually apply it.

I Will Teach You To Be Rich by Ramit Sethi
Rating: 2/5
Summary: Actually pretty clear and simple. I just didn’t really learn anything I didn’t already know.

A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller
Rating: 5/5
Summary: I could be living a better story. This book can slug you in the gut like not many books can do, it makes you want to do better, more, bigger. Donald has a way of constantly making you underestimate his ability to pull down revelations from everyday experiences.

Mastering Civility by Christine Porath
Rating: 3/5
Summary: A little bland but lots of good advice. The one thing I’ll remember is to always say hello and know people’s names. That is the easiest thing to change and makes a huge difference.

A Spy Among Friends Philby and the Great Betrayal by Ben Macintyre
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: Just wow. Who knew this was even possible, you think you can separate reality from fiction until you read this book. The things people are capable of are truly startling, part of me doesn’t think I can ever trust another person ever again.
