1. Stranger Things Happen

   Kelly Link

   

   So good, I’m grabbing another collection of Link’s, "Get in Trouble”, immediately.

2. Titanium Noir

   Nick Harkaway

   

   What it says on the tin and knows it. Spoonfuls of chewy metaphors.

3. How Infrastructure Works

   Deb Chachra

   

   I feel like more than a few people I follow posted about this over the past year so I eventually followed suit. More memoir (again!) than I’m normally into but just enough history, novelty, and new-to-me theory to be pretty good after all.

4. A Wizard of Earthsea

   Ursula K. Le Guin, Mick Saunders

   

   After enjoying every single story in the “Hainish Novels and Stories (www.ursulakleguin.com/hainish-novels-and-stories), I figured I can’t go wrong tackling Earthsea for the first time by just reading all of them in the similar “The Books of Earthsea" (www.ursulakleguin.com/the-books-of-earthsea).

5. Mismatch

   Kat Holmes

   

   I grabbed this one after landing on a Don Norman piece (www.fastcompany.com/90338379/i-wrote-the-book-on-user-friendly-design-what-i-see-today-horrifies-me). I enjoyed “The Design of Everyday Things" so I followed Norman’s suggestion to read Mismatch.

   Pretty quick read, and full of things so obviously correct that I got impatient with the author’s patience? Good stuff.
