Going to finally give Brandon Sanderson's non-WOT output a try - my boss leant me Tress of the Emerald Sea as a starter and I should probably get it back to him at some point. Here goes!
fwiw i enjoyed this. It was 'cute', low stakes, fast paced, and just a fun short read.
I maintain that as long as you stay in his standalone or smaller book series (mistborn even) Sando does fine and it very enjoyable...it's Stormlight that got away from him and feels like a chore more than an enjoyable time. I say that as a glutton who owns all 5 books in Hardcover, even though I haven't TRULY enjoyed one since Book 2.
it's to his credit he can pull off something as cute as TRESS while working on something as massive as STA - which i enjoyed but can ack the last book was quite a bit weaker than what came before.
Enjoying it very much so far - realised I was ten chapters in at the point Mr NAB pointed out I hadn't moved in a while, so it's engrossing. -

Finished Hannah Fry's How to be Human in the Age of the Machine - a really interesting and well-balanced look at the advantages and pitfalls of the use of AI in different settings (health, crime, self-driving cars etc.)

In Topic: Whats making you happy right now

I found out yesterday I'm going to be promoted!
Manager has set a couple of criteria to work towards and we'll have regular meetings to discuss those, but she asked for next year and the powers that be have said if I meet the criteria it can be whenever at her discretion.
It's a bit of a shock - I'm very early in terms of length of time doing the job to make Senior, but our team situation is a bit unique and my attorneys fed back that I've basically functioned as second in command to manager for a long time now despite that.
Hasn't really sunk in yet but what a lovely surprise! -
