Andiswa, that's a good start but it's mandatory to include genre (e.g., non-fiction) and more plot details in your topic header. We have thousands of book requests. Please read the Group Rules.

We will close threads that don't adhere to this requirement in this very large group. Click the small "edit" link after the header to update it. This only works on the full Desktop website - not the Mobile website or app. (On the Mobile website, there's a "Desktop version" link at the bottom of the page.) Then we can re-open the thread.

- Does this book target female presenters in a corporate setting?
- Does it cover other strategies for career advancement?
