The Cormoran Strike series by Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling). It’s a fictional crime series. Three books are currently out, all of them are amazing.

like

The Circle - Dave Eggers. Not so distant future novel with some underlying relevancy to today’s society and how we rely on technology at the loss of privacy. I may make it sound nerdy but it has a very catchy story to it but still makes you think about your surroundings today. There’s also a movie with Emma Watson in it, but please read the book first; the movie cuts so much out and ruins the book’s major secret.

Girl Wash your Face. Be in a good place mentally when reading it. I tried reading it during busy season and it just stressed me out and made me feel incompetent to her life. I re-started yesterday and am more than halfway done. I think every chapter is a different part of where you might be also. It wasn’t until like page 60 I really was into it

The Devotion of Suspect X. I always feel sad that Americans generally do not read Japanese literature. This one is mind blowing. I had to close the book near the end for a bit before I could keep reading.

The Book Thief is my all-time favorite book. If you want light, cute stories, The Blue Castle and Flipped are pretty fun.

Nonfiction - for vacation, I really enjoy Carrie Fisher’s memoirs. Not great works of literature by any means, but she’s hilarious and I’ve laughed out loud plenty of times.

The way of the kings. Storm light series. Super nerdy fiction but it’s fantastic

At one time I had status on most airlines and hotels but I never bothered to focus on accumulating points since it seemed like they were infinite and I booked on convenience. Oh have times changed! I even let go of Amex platinum, just wasn’t worth it to me. Base airport LAX/SNA so no airline pref.

Boss has WFH for 9months. I have been WFH for 2-weeks for travel quarantine/state guidelines. She now requires that I go back to the office to “show face” that HR is right alongside the essential employees. I have been more productive from home vs the office. I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?

Anyone other staff feel like the biggest contributor to stress during busy season isn’t the workload. It’s the lack of support or help while you’re just thrown into the deep end not knowing how to swim? In-charges, especially the newly promoted ones are either hit or miss or they’re way too busy with their own work. I almost feel like I’m ready to quit because no job is worth the mental health sacrifice.
