Paper: An Elegy by Ian Sansom
informative
slow-paced
3.0
I enjoyed the take on the history of paper this book follows, in which it looks at the different ways paper impacts our lives, rather than being a straight history of paper. It's a broad approach, covering multiple areas that could probably be their own books on their own, but only touches on them lightly. The last chapter in particular puts a lot of elements together and just barely scratches the surface, leaving the reader wanting more information and analysis. Overall, though, a solid view on how paper impacts our day to day lives.
Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
5.0
This was such a lovely, warm, fuzzy story. I needed something with low emotional drama, and the character development was a wonderful touch. Highly recommended for a comfortable read.
Starter Villain by John Scalzi
5.0
Not only was this a fun read, it was satisfying. The characters were developed enough to be interesting, and the plot was resolved just messily enough to be realistic. And cats!
And With Reveling by Seanan McGuire
5.0
I can't help but feel this is the calm before the next storm, but it's so nice to see Toby and Tybalt allowed to just be happy together.

Ah, Murderbot
It's so nice to see Murderbot in the early days, when they're just starting to realize that humans might occasionally need saving and they're the one to do it.

The Study of Poisons by Maria V. Snyder
4.0
I really liked seeing this story from Valek's point of view. The romance was a little more heavy-handed than in the original Poison Study book, since it seems that Valek had feelings for Yelena long before she admitted to it herself, but it was neat to see what else was going on when Yelena was off-screen.
