Girls Who Code is releasing two books this week, a fiction novel called "The Friendship Code," and an illustrated coding manual.

Signed up for this to be entered for some freebies from Kourosh Dini, an author, whose books and blog I've read in the past. He's a psychologist and productivity guru, who writes books, among other things, on how to maximize your use of OmniFocus.
