    Hey everyone, I’m back after a short hiatus. I hope you’re all doing well!

    This year, I’m delving more into reading, and I wanted to know: what are your top three book recommendations for any customer marketer or community manager?

    Here are mine for community managers:

    1. Building Brand Communities by Carrie Melissa Jones and Charles H. Vogl
    2. People Powered by Jono Bacon
    3. Tribes by Seth Godin

    I would also love to know about more books on customer marketing.

    @Joe , @Elizabeth_Mayer, @Nic do you have any suggestions?

    Good to see you here as well @Chris

      Cool! That “Get Together” book looks interesting, my eyes are drawn to that orange color like a sunset. Just found it https://gettogether.world/ would you recommend it?

    Hi @Jeph , thanks for the book recommendations. I read Tribes way back when, but didn’t know about the other two.

    BTW, I replied to this post https://clgcampus.base.ai/forums/topic/what-3-books-do-you-recommend/ with my current trio of recommended reading.

    #TooManyBooksNotEnoughTime

    What 3 books do you recommend?

        Yes! Mark is so smart and personable (he genuinely seems to enjoy sharing his knowledge). I saw him years ago at Content Marketing World, but this is the first time I’ve read one of his books. Useful stuff!
