The links to books we mention are affiliate links. That means we’d get a teensy percentage of the pie if you choose to click through and make a purchase. That’s not why we linked to these books. We’d need a ton of people buying a ton of books for any real-size piece of pie.

We simply posted books we believe in. Books we thought you’d have an interest in, and to make it easy, we provided links.
