layoffs are really bad for the physical and mental health outcomes for people laid off and their partners/families, for employees who survive the layoffs, and they are also bad for company performance.

uneasy listening

Hilarious

I don't know if this is a young adult, or even a childrens book, or whether it even matters. I'm enjoying the heck out of this.

big trauma

Stewart's film career didn't take off until he was in his 40s: he was cast as Captain Picard at 45.

omg clara's chapter 😭😭😭

Feels like this is going so much quicker than the first book: looked it up and it's a third of the length! 🤣

It's like I've never read a mystery novel before? This is mesmerizing.

Oh. I guess Terry Maitland wasn't the protagonist after all :(

Just finished the real sexy bit

Here we go again! Read this in the early 2000s. I don't remember actually finishing it.

This is the first time I've walked into a bookstore and bought a book in I don't even know how long.

fun, quirky start. these lesser wizards have really fun "superheroes with lame powers" vibes.

the part with the dog was sad
