I’m asked a lot what I’m reading, or what I’m looking forward to reading. Here is a look at my current stack. All of these books are available now for order or pre-order via your favourite bookseller.

Video above. More details on each below.

I’ll make one of these posts every month or so to round up what I’m reading. What’s on your TBR pile? Share your tips in the comments section…

Mark Twain by Ron Chernow

Chernow is a Pulitzer Prize winning biographer, and one of the great American historians working today. If you can’t hear the word Hamilton without humming ‘It’s Quiet Uptown’, then this at least in part his fault.

Released 13th May. US pre-order. UK pre-order.
