I finished Three Bags Full and How to be Perfect.

Three Bags Full wasn't my favorite, but the last third was quite good. I was really surprised that I missed all the signs for who the killer was in the end, and that made me reflect a bit.

How to be Perfect started out strong, but became a bit of a drag. It felt like it went from exploring ethics to the author trying to find ways to feel better about the things he's done. I also felt like he misrepresented some philosophers, but not egregiously. I still think it's a good intro to ethics read for anyone interested.

Currently made it through the first two Bobiverse books and just started the third. The first chapter of the first book almost made me put it down because he's a cringey, basic, rich guy, but that changes quickly. Easy reads, but a fun concept. I'll definitely read all five books.
