If you know what NAMI is you can imagine the hard time my wife and I are having with our youngest, who turns out has BPD. They are med non compliant as is their partner the best we can tell.

The Skeptics Guide to the Universe, A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, and I Hate You - Don’t Leave Me would all have made the top list if I didn’t have an arbitrary limit of only two top books a month.

That said most of the books I read in February I loved. For the complete list:

    1. Do you track your books with Bookwyrm or Goodreads?
    2. Where did you find “How to become CTO”? It seems that I can only preorder it.
    3. Thanks!

      I don’t use either to track my books. Good ol Google Sheets. I’ve tried Office Libre and just don’t like it. It’s fairly manual but I’ve been doing it for over 20 years and it works for me.

      As for the book I’m pretty sure it’s just self published via Amazon. https://a.co/d/0iTS78gy

      And you’re welcome!

          I’ve looked at it but decided against it. Not that it’s bad but it doesn’t track nearly enough of the data I use and then I’d have to port some of the data over and it’s just not worth the hassle to me.

              • when I read it (each time)
              • how many times I read it
              • if I did a book review, when
              • a tracking column for a pivot
              • category of book
              • how good I thought the book was
              • priority to read (completed and to read and reread are all on the same list)
              • sub category of book
              • title
              • author
              • how long I think it’ll take me to read it
              • some data on the author
              • when I added to the book the list
              • and some calculated columns for the pivot table

              I know, too much.
