For the curious reader.

A book can be a companion, an argument, or the start of an obsession. Trending Books is a place to discover the authors and ideas that give a reading life its shape.

Founded by Scott Scheper, the journal begins with books by writers who publish through Greenlamp. Our opening collection ranges across writing, memory, education, leadership, creativity, and the questions people ask about their lives.

Our connection to Greenlamp

Trending Books and Greenlamp share a founder. Scott Scheper also writes books featured here, including Antinet Zettelkasten. That relationship is part of this publication’s identity, and we make it clear on the site and in relevant profiles.

This is a publisher-affiliated discovery journal. The coverage introduces books and their stated ideas; it is not independent consumer testing or a ranking of the market.

What “trending” means here

It means books we are bringing into the conversation. It does not imply verified bestseller status, sales rankings, or measured social-media popularity.
