I read Jemisin's Broken Earth Trilogy. It was good, though I'm not sure it really needed four Hugos in a row.
Dan Dennett's From Bacteria to Bach and Back was interesting as usual, though also as usual I'm not sure I came away with an actual story about consciousness.
The latest two Penric novellas were fun.
I found a novel length Bujold fic, A Bit Too Much Good Work; it's Captain Vorpatril's Alliance from the POV of Byerly and Rish. Enjoyed it a lot, and the author's other Vorrutyer or Arqua stories.
