We all love a good book, but unfortunately, don’t read as much as we would like to. So, rhodemarshall has curated a list of books released this year, that should be on your to-buy or to-read list for the Christmas and New Year’s period:

The holiday season is the perfect time for catching up, planning, and getting to that one thing you’ve been trying to do all year. For many of us, that includes reading.

His family is warm and supportive and teach him to be sensitive to injustice.

Although Boardroom Dancing is her personal journey, it is also a lesson for South Africans committed to the transformation of boardrooms and the economy, and for women looking for role models as they climb corporate ladders and become thought-leaders “Even within the seemingly most unacceptable and painful situation is concealed a deeper good and within every disaster is contained the seed of grace.
