- Sorrowland, Rivers Solomon: The ending was a bit abrupt, but I enjoyed the weirdness of this one.
- The Curated Closet, Anuschka Rees: A lot of really helpful tools to think about your wardrobe from standpoints of style, flexibility, and number of pieces. (Spoiler: No black trousers and white button-downs required.)
- In The Quick, Kate Hope Day: Not what I expected.
- Meet Me in Another Life, Catriona Silvey: Really liked how the texture of this one slowly shifts.
- Simply Julia, Julia Turshen: Several recipes caught my eye, and I made two of them almost right away. Delicious!
- Lean Six Sigma for Dummies, John A. Morgan: Seemd like a good intro, though I don’t think it was enough to really apply the principles to the more complex service workflows I’m used to.
- Detransition, Baby, Torrey Peters: This is a little light on plot, but the characters are wonderful. Captured the whiplash of feelings in the wake of major life events well.
- The Customer of the Future, Blake Morgan: An excellent framework to help shift to being customer-focused.
- No One Is Talking About This, Patricia Lockwood: Make sure you understand what you’re getting into with this one, it’ll be easier to settle in.
- The Valley and the Flood, Rebecca Mahoney: This didn’t work very well for me, something was missing.
- The Infinite Blacktop, Sara Gran: Oh Claire DeWitt. What are you doing!?
If you only read one, make it Meet Me In Another Life.
