bit of a burst, apologies for the block update
96. N.K. Jemisin, The City We Became. Another post-Lovecraft cosmic horror (the Ada Hoffman one earlier) this time with a hot mess of New York in it. Really nice set of ideas, well played with. Recommendation from my work reading protege

97 Cadwell Turnbull, No Gods, No Monsters. This came well recommended but I found it a bit bitty - the rotation through a cast of characters meant I never really engaged. Shelved it for most of the year and finished it one evening.
98. Ron Friedman, Decoding Greatness - how to reverse engineer business and other strategies for good effect, including some useful material on how to measure what you're trying to achieve. I have a new work spreadsheet now. Good if you do self-optimisation books.
99. John Scalzi, Kaiju Preservation Society. Read the first few chapters on last year's Hugo shortlist voter pack, enjoyed them. Read the rest. It's fluff but not the worse for that. Lots of "team banter" that works, a really nice explanation for why nuclear power is a Bad Idea, and some great Monsters.
No idea what I'm going to finish first for the coveted 100 slot!!
