    Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek

    9th March 2018
    Cover of Leaders Eat Last (Simon Sinek)

    Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek

    • Publisher: Portfolio, 2014
    • Genre: Business, Psychology
    • Format: Hardcover
    • Page Count: 368 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐ (2/5)

About Me

Lí-hó!! I am Hsinju (they/she), a Taiwanese book blogger, writer, and full-time grad student in engineering. Here, I mainly review books featuring authentically represented LGBTQ+ characters and/or written by LGBTQ+ authors. You’d usually find me going about life with my heart stuck in the last book I finished.
