Early morning meeting with boss3, explaining how things will be Different and Better as we become more of a real company and every business on the planet has to buy our product to properly surveil their customers. Unfortunately my skill set is pretty much only valued by big tech, and big tech is pretty much all morally dubious, so here I am.
Read: Storm Forged (Linday Buroker): Book 6 wraps up all the plotlines that have so far been introduced with pretty much a HEA. Books 7+ will go into backstory or something.
Read: The Last Graduate (Naomi Novik): Sequel to A Deadly Education, equally awesome. El is still such an El, Orion is still such an absolute spanner, but somehow she likes him anyway? The entire order of the Scholomance is upended, privileged characters are jerks but not irredeemable, plans are laid and executed, and then CLIFFHANGER! Apparently it will take at least one more book for El to [SPOILER].
Read: The Case Study of Vanitas vol 1 (Jun Mochizuki): Pretty much the same as the first few episodes of anime (or vice versa, I guess), ending about where Vanitas decides what to do about Jeanne.
Words: Check, but after reading The Last Graduate, it doesn’t seem like there’s much point.
