I'm doing some adult learning to get ahead at my new job, and am reading Quality Control for Dummies, to be followed by Lean Six Sigma for Dummies. After my on the road portion of training has settled, I will look into some online learning for computer coding with an emphasis on whatever language my job is using.

I have never read that one. To be honest the Only Turtledove books I have read was his 191 series which follows what happens after a southern victory in the Civil War. The series goes through a second war in the 1880's. Then World War One the time between and World War two and the Holocaust which happens in the South with African Americans as victims rather then in Germany with the Jewish population.
It is a great series but the N word is used a lot in the books so it upsets a lot people. And has in fact been removed from a few libraries.

My library Mystery Book Club is reading the Carol O'Connell mystery/thriller Mallory's Oracle for our February meeting. I finished reading it today. First time I read it in more than 20 years but I still really enjoyed it. Love the main character Kathleen Mallory who despite being the "good guy", is probably at least as amoral and sociopathic than the villains she's chasing. There are reasons for it that you learn as the series goes on.
