APPS WE LOVE
By Gail Perry, CPA, Editor-in-Chief
Summer Reading
PLANNING YOUR SUMMER activities often
includes pulling together a summer reading
list. We surveyed several members of
the CPA Practice Advisor community to
find out what they are looking forward
to reading this summer, or what they
recommend for others to add to their
reading lists. And, in keeping with the
Apps theme of this column, we also asked
for their favorite apps relating to reading.
Kevin Bong, founder at AuditFile, told us
that, " The Goodreads app is pretty cool. You can
connect with other users / share recommendations
/ common interests, etc. "
Geni Whitehouse, CPA.CITP, CSPM, founder
at The Impactful Advisor, said, " I love Audible for
car time! I am listening to a great book right now
- The Book of Longings by Sue Monk Kid (a novel).
And also have Radical Acceptance open at the
same time on Audible. I go between fiction and
non-fiction books. I also use Libro.fm to support
local bookstores with audio book purchases and
am trying to transition more in that direction. "
Caleb Jenkins, EA, CQP, leader of client
accounting services at RLJ Financial Services,
Inc., shared the books that are on his anticipated
summer reading list:
* The Big Truck That Went By: How the World Came
to Save Haiti and Left Behind a Disaster - by Katz,

Jenkins didn't include any reference to apps,
and instead added, " I'm probably different than
most in my generation in that I like hardback
paper books. I like the ability set aside my technology
for a period of time to focus on what I'm
reading and take notes that will help me make
changes in my way of life.
Stacy Kildal, founder at Kildal Services, LLC,

founder at
Adelaide Rose, LLC, said, " On my nightstand
is my first copy of my brand-new children's
book, Adelaide The Accountant, which releases
on October 15th! I am a huge fan of Audible so
that I can multitask while I listen hands-free. I
love being able to listen in the office and in the
car seamlessly without losing my place. I like
that Amazon also linked in my favorite podcast
by Patrice Washington, Purpose 2 Platform - The
Podcast. "
Jean Caragher, president of Capstone Marketing,
told us, " Three books I've read recently
would make great summer reads: The Four
Winds by Kristin Hannah, a saga set during
the Great Depression; The Vanishing Half by Brit
Bennett, explores the lives of black twin sisters
and one who chooses to pass as white; finally,
