Book 48: How to Die. This book is not about how to die. It's a collection of essays by Mike Monteiro who is an Old Web guy and a designer answering questions that people pose to him about life stuff. Simple questions like how to make a grilled cheese, or a mixtape, and more complicated ones like how to get your joy back. He writes these up for his weekly newsletter and this is a collection of them. If you've read his other work, you'll know if you'll dig this or not. Pulls no punches. Very good.

Book 49: The Last Word. I went into this book, the last in the Harbinder Kaur series, with a bit of trepidation since the reviews in the little slip my library puts in the back for patron reviews PANNED it. I thought it was fine. Wraps up a few things nicely. The mystery is fine. I find the multiple-perspective writing a little tiresome since I want more Kaur and this was more about her group of friends and a mystery they encounter about a writers' book group with a very high mortality rate.
