I loved it, and am eagerly awaiting Bookshops and Bonedust.

I listened to the audiobook for the first one, and really enjoyed it. I should pick up the next one.
I really did enjoy it, I am trying to refrain from giving 5 stars as soon as I finish books. History has proven I regularly knock them back further down the line.
Onto The Long War (Book #2 in the series).
‘Joshua, you are fun to know, and a good companion, reliable and all that, even if you are a little bit weird. Someday we might be friends,’ she said a bit more gently. ‘But please don’t make comments about my legs. You’ve seen very little of my legs since most of the time they are inside premium grade thorn-proof battledress. And it’s naughty to guess, OK?’
- The Long Earth By Stephen Baxter & Terry Pratchett
I read upgrade, really enjoyed it can't decide between dark matter and recursion as the next one to pick up. Do you have any thoughts on either?
I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Ray Porter, so maybe he delivered it in a way that meant I didn't notice it. But I did notice a similar vibe in Artemis (also audio, but narrated by someone else, cant recall who).
Edit: a typo and to add it was Rosario Dawson that narrated Artemis
I really enjoyed Heaven's River, but I also enjoy a slice of life book, and really liked all the world building with the otter world, I can definitely see where you are coming from though.
My milage has dropped a fair bit recently with my eldest starting school and our routine being upended. Each run is feeling harder but I keep telling myself that there is no optimum routine any more and if I miss the 'best' time to run, that just means I need to look for the 'next best' time... Crammed a 5k into my lunch break yesterday and I am proud of myself.
If you listen to podcasts I recommend S2E1 of 'How Other Dad's Dad with Hamish Blake' Joe Brumm, the creator of bluey, is a guest.
I also recommend the podcast generally also.
Only one from your list I have read is Piranesi, but I just had to say I really enjoyed it. I'm a big fan of the genre so it was admittedly right up my street.
Some titles from my 'Short' TBR list include
In terms of waiting I only have a couple
