New book
Because Munroe tends to show his working I've actually had a chance to use a few of his shortcuts in real life, most memorably one which goes that the upper speed you can spin a disk made of a material at before it tears itself apart is the square root of the specific tensile strength of the material.

I bought The Swifts by Beth Lincoln, The Marvellers by Dhonielle Clayton, A Million to One by Adiba Jaigirdar, Fairy Tale by Stephen King, and A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers. Plus I just started by library book, Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail by Ashley Herring Blake. And I'm still reading What If? 2 by Randall Munroe.
There are too many good things! I don't know what to read!
