Happy Friday everyone! To kick off the weekend I've pulled together a list of my favorite blogging books to share with you.Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting started, here are my top 7 books that all bloggers must read.
1. 100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People (Voices That Matter)
So the first book on my list isn't actually about blogging at all, but if you do any of your own design work then it's a must read. It's all about the psychology behind design and how you can use it to your advantage.

2. The Golden Rules Of Blogging
Each page of this book covers a "rule" of blogging and analyzes how well it works and when you should make exceptions. It also has contributions from professional bloggers sharing their own advice on when to break the rules.
