haha, I love that I could help!
I'm typically listening to podcasts all day, myself to keep my sanity. I might add audiobooks to the rotation now though.
For the Bobiverse, I didn't know it was originally a trilogy and book 4 was already out when I started, so I went in with a completely different lens. Overall I liked the 4th. For me though, once I get invested in a series, I'm generally happy to keep getting more unless it goes off the rails (Anita Blake Vampire Hunter being an example of one I really liked that went sideways). Overall though, I liked book 4 myself, it felt like a decent continuation of the story and felt like a bridge that was needed to continue the universe into the future.
Starter Villain wasn't my favorite Scalzi, but I definitely liked it and it felt like a fresh concept and like most Scalzi, it's enjoyable from start to finish. IIRC I read it in no more than 2 settings.
If you haven't Read Kaiju Preservation Society, I would wholeheartedly recommend it. It's not amazing literature, but, god damn was it a fun ride! It felt a bit like Redshirts, if you liked that one.
