Book 46: Conversion Therapy Dropout. This is an achingly poignant story about a guy who grows up in a religious household trying to "pray the gay away" for eight years with conversion therapy programs all the while enjoying a very successful career as a social media marketer for the same churches which don't accept him. He eventually comes to a better place as a queer adult but it's a long slog to get there and he remains very religious, but within an affirming community and supportive friends.

Book 47: Platform Decay. This was just on the shelf at my library! I like the Murderbot books. This one had a bunch of characters which I wasn't totally familiar with and did not have the other characters I did know and like (for the most part). There's a lot of Murderbot "emotional growth" if you can call it that, but a lot of the logistics of the mission they do are "And then I hacked into THIS thing and made it work for me." Not enough ART. These feel more like serialized magazine stories.
