Does fiction count? 👀

My bad, talking about the Clifton Chronicles. Read it a few years ago so got the names mixed up

the newest hunger games is really great

Songbirds and snakes? Or is there something newer?

Audiobooks for the win. But I am reading the DevOps handbook for the third time.

Fantasy:
Django Wexler - The Thousand Names
Gu Zhen Ren - Reverend Insanity

Scifi:
Douglas Adams - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Martha Wells - Network Effect
Mike Kupari - Trouble Walked In

Drama/other Fiction:
Tomihiko Morimi - The Tatami Galaxy
Jamil Jan Kochai - The Haunting of Hajji Hotel
Alex Michaelides - The Silent Patient

Nonfiction:
Florence Williams - The Nature Fix
JB MacKinnon - The Day the World Stops Shopping

Just read Needful Things & Fairy Tale, both Stephen King, and they were very different but both great!

Also about time for my every-third-year-ish rereading of the Abhorsen series from Garth Nix. It's definitely somewhat in the YA category but it's got a very interesting dark fantasy slant and satisfying ending that makes it a good comfort re-read.

Deffo recommend trying it!

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!
