A week away from work is a great opportunity to indulge in even more reading than I usually do. Normally, I really only read fiction, and most of my time reading is currently spent going through the Kingsbridge historical fiction series once more. I’m making a notable exception this week, though, for the book on contract testing written by Marie Cruz and Lewis Prescott. So far, it’s the book I hoped it would be and then some. I’m really happy to have seen it go live and can’t wait for the rest of the book. Highly recommend you get a copy, too, if you’re interested in learning more about contract testing. I’m pretty sure I’ll finish it soon enough, and then it’s back to reading about people building cathedrals!
