Hi all!  Here is the Alex & Books April recap:

My favorite books:

• "Digital Minimalism” by Cal Newport

  • “Digital Minimalism" takes the concept of minimalism and applies it to personal technology. In an overstimulated world, this book will teach readers how to live a focused and productive life.

    • A must-read for anyone who finds themselves addicted to their phone or social media.

• "Letters of Note” by Shaun Usher

  • “Letters of Note" is a unique collection of 125 letters from famous writers, scientists, artists, and other remarkable people throughout history. It includes letters from: Albert Einstein, Ben Franklin, Ernest Hemingway, Fyodor Dostoevsky, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ludwig van Beethoven and many more incredible people.

    • This is the perfect coffee table book: it's entertaining, interesting and will definitely spark up a conversation among guests
