Full Speed to a Crash Landing by Beth Revis - Fun! A very entertaining heroine and an interesting sci-fi novella about a kinda heist with slight mystery "hmm, what's really going on here?" tone. I immediately went and borrowed the next in the series.
Ask a Manager: How to Navigate Clueless Colleagues, Lunch-Stealing Bosses, and the Rest of Your Life at Work by Alison Green - Super useful. Probably gonna buy a copy of this to give my niece who'll be entering the workforce sometime soonish.
The Fourth Consort by Edward Ashton - I liked well enough, though I'm beginning to think that I'm never going to like any of Ashton's books as much as I liked Mickey7. The story itself is a typical Ashton kind of "loser gets drawn into increasingly terrible situation partly of his own making, has to claw his way back out". It was a good enough story, though like the last few books from this author, I felt like it needed some more fleshing out in the description and worldbuilding department to feel actually finished. Still...entertaining.
Still reading:
The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg - a book which has probably suffered from my tendency to buy books and then take 10 years or so to read them: they get dated. I'm pretty sure that some of the things in this book were groundbreaking 10 years ago, but now they just seem same-old.
How to Steal a Galaxy by Beth Revis - Ada so far has made people buy her food and a fancy dress, flirted with an incredibly flustered Rian, thought uncharitable things about rich and entitled people, and is poised to steal some stuff at a fancy gala. I'm here for this.
Also have Clockwork Boys and What Moves The Dead from T. Kingfisher queued up.
