Tofugu Employees (and some eligible colleagues—ask if you’re not sure) can ‣ for as many books as they are able to read. They can be of any genre, too—not just business or Japanese linguistic books. Read the entire Twilight saga, if you want.
Here’s the process for buying books on Tofugu’s dime.
This is a perk available to employees of Tofugu.
After you’ve purchased the book, be sure to ‣ for it.
When using Expensify, use the Book category so we can keep track of these expenses and how many people are using this benefit.
You’re more than welcome to choose what type of book you get, too. That includes physical books, digital books (e.g. Kindle, Apple Books, epubs, etc), and even audiobooks (e.g. Audible, etc).
Please note that Tofugu will not reimburse colleagues for ongoing subscription book services, e.g. Audible, or Kindle Unlimited. Instead, you should subscribe to the subscription service yourself, then request a reimbursement for a month’s payment after you’ve chosen a book/audiobook and have used one of your credits. Alternatively, you can just purchase the individual book or audiobook, then request reimbursement for it.
Once you’ve purchased a book, add it to ‣.
Check to make sure the book wasn’t already added — someone else may have added it already!
When you add a book, it will be pushed to the #co-reading on Slack.
Unfortunately, Notion’s API doesn’t allow you to use database updates as a means of triggering something on Zapier, so at the moment we only (automatically) post when something new has been added.
That said, if you start or finish a book, you’re free to manually add that info to Slack, if you want.
Reader(s) PropertyAdd yourself to the Reader(s) property, inside the book’s card’s properties section. Now you’re reading it! Congrats!
In the body, there’s a place to paste the synopsis of the book. Grab it from the internet (you don’t have to come up with an original, though I suppose you can).
