This competition seems to have been a resounding success. I have some great ideas for books that I will be reviewing over the coming weeks and months, and hopefully you all have some new ideas to add to your reading lists. There can only be one winner though and in this competition the prize goes to …

 

The Honest Dollar

 

I loved her recommendation of A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton G. Malkiel. I’ve already checked it out on Amazon and it looks like it’ll be a great read. Here’s her comment so you can check it out for yourself.

 

“I would like to see a review of A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel. The person that recommended it to me told me that it basically debunks all of the different schools of investing out there. I am a few pages in. So far it seems accessible to beginning investors yet interesting for more advanced investors. (I’m pretty sure this book won’t mention “the magic of compounding” as if money comes out of thin air, readers are too stupid to understand, and the writer has better things to do than explain.) Anyway, I think it would make an interesting review, especially after you do a couple of books about fundamentals analysis or value investing.”

 

Have a look at the comments over on the original post for some more great ideas and I’ll let you know which book she chooses as her prize … it could be another great personal finance recommendation.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND THANKS FOR PARTICIPATING !!!

 

 

Book Club COMPETITION!!

I’ve decided to start a book club in the New Year. I am going to kick off by reviewing some the personal finance books I received for Christmas including:

 

The Richest Man In Babylon by George Clason

Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes and How to Correct Them by Gary Belsky

 

What I need from you though is some suggestions. I am open to reviewing any personal finance book you think worthy. The more suggestions the merrier.

 

To try and get as many great suggestions as possible I have decided to run a small competition.

 

The competition is simple:

  • Leave a comment on this post giving the title of the book you think I should review and the reason you think it is worthwhile reviewing.

  • Only one entry per person.

 

I will be choosing a winner on New Years Day (1st January). The winner will be chosen by me and my decision will be based on the value of the comment to myself and to other readers.

 

Once I have chosen a winner, I will be writing a review of their suggested book just as soon as I can get a copy.

 

The winner will receive:

  • One personal finance book of their choice up to the value of $30

  • I will also link back to the winner’s blog and to a post of their choice when I write the book review

 

Good Luck to Everyone!!

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The winner must choose a book that is available on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk
