 I'm heading out on my summer holidays soon and I also have this massive long business trip in August to the East Coast which means I should have lots of time this summer to hit my summer reading list. So that's what I'm sharing with you today or the books that I intend to read this summer. Hey everyone it's Leanne and if you have not curated your summer book bag yet I wanted to share a few titles that I plan on attacking this summer and maybe you'll find some value in these titles if you pick them up as well. So here we go. Book number one or rather collection number one is the Scott Stratton collection. Now Scott did this book unmarketing several years ago. As you can see it's very well loved and well read. So Scott's a good egg. When he found out that I loved his book and he found out that I had the older version of this book he kindly sent me the new version. So I'm going to read these side by side in tandem. Yes I'm going to totally geek out and do that and probably add post-it notes to the new version here as well. So big shout out and thank you to Scott Stratton for the everything has changed and nothing is different second edition of unmarketing. Now Scott's a busy beaver. He has a few other titles and I'm going to attack those this summer. By the way he's written all of these books in collaboration with his business partner and wife Allison Stratton. So big shout out to Allison as well. Scott and Allison have also written unselling as well as unbranding. So along with the unmarketing title I plan on hitting unselling and unbranding as well this summer. So huge thanks to the Strattons. They've filled my bookshelf per se and I look forward to filling these with post-it notes all summer long. Now for all of you industry peeps, meetings and events industry I hope you've had a chance to read this one The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker. So I started reading this book which is from my public library and ran out of time. I have to return it. So I'm purchasing this book and tackling it this summer. Interestingly enough this book was featured on the LinkedIn group Event Props Book Club back in May. So I'm late to the party sorry Gillian but that book club is actually looking at another title here in June by Brené Brown Dare to Lead another bestseller. While that book is not on my list I really hope it's on your list and if you are reading Dare to Lead right now I encourage you to check out Event Props Book Club on LinkedIn and join other like-minded individuals to tackle that title. And finally Weeconomy by Craig and Mark Kielberger. Now I saw these boys literally decades ago I it was probably 20 years ago when I first saw them and they were first just kind of starting their their cause and now 20 years later I they're all grown up they're married with kids their cause is massive around the world the we cause and anyways Weeconomy is the title that they've penned and I'm really excited to dig into this as you can see it's got a forward by Cheryl Sandberg and an epilogue by Richard Branson so there's got to be something good in here. So those are my books it's a stack of one two it's five books and if you add Brené Brown's Dare to Lead that's six. I'm not going to get through them all this summer but I do have some time set aside to tackle these titles and take some time this summer to find a book that you want to read and start to read it.
