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:

Top:

  • Rules of Estrangement by Joshua Coleman PhD
  • Stop Walking on Eggshells for Parents by Randi Kreger and Christine Adamec

Great:

  • Stop Walking on Eggshells by Paul T. Mason MS, Randi Kreger
  • Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die by Chip Heath and Dan Heath
  • The Skeptics Guide to the Universe by Steve Novella, Bob Novella
  • A Swim in a Pond in the Rain by George Saunders
  • The Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide by David J. Miklowitz
  • I Am Not Sick I Don’t Need Help! by Xavier Amador
  • How To Become CTO by Aleks Kudic (Recommended by: Aleks Kudic (Asked to read for review purposes by the author)
  • Babylon’s Ashes by James S. A. Corey
  • I Hate You - Don't Leave Me by Jerold J. Kreisman, Hal Straus
  • Nemesis Games by James S. A. Corey

Good:

  • Notes on a Small Island by Bill Bryson
  • Spook by Mary Roach

Okay:

  • Traction by Gino Wickman

  • 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.

Hah! No, I'm just curious. That makes a lot more sense if you're writing articles and reviews, too. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity!
