I  just re-read Elizabeth Bear's Ancestral Night, and Machine; they are part 1 and 2 of the White Space trilogy. I thought book 3 was out, but it's due in June. Really enjoyed them, good modern space opera, not very dark. In particular Machine, as it's an homage/update of James White's Hospital Station books, really nicely done.

I also finished Kevin Hearn's Ink & Sigil series, three books set in the Iron Druid universe. Lots of fun, good dugs, and the Iron Druid and Oberon make several appearances. A good light holiday read. 

Now working on some Tiptree stories as a change of pace. 

nice choices!

I finished Samantha Harvey's Orbital.

I really liked the detail of all the physiological changes that were described for humans living entended periods in free fall and it makes absolute sense to study that stuff so assiduously.

But having said that, I have to admit that my overall reaction to the book as a whole was one of being underwhelmed.
