You may have lint baked onto the heating coil that a quick vent clean won’t touch - remove the rear filter vacuum both sides and and blow from the front grille to clear the barrel. Plug it straight into a wall outlet; thin extension cords or power strips drop voltage, slow the fan, and make it run hotter. With long hair, keep the intake angled away from your head and tap the cool-shot every minute to keep the thermal limiter from tripping.
Seconding the mass market angle: try Agatha Christie (And Then There Were None or The ABC Murders), Harlan Coben (Tell No One or The Stranger) and Shari Lapena (An Unwanted Guest) for twisty, fair, fast reads usually under 350 pages. If you want clever reveals without bloat, Keigo Higashino’s Malice or The Devotion of Suspect X are lean and addictive in paperback. For ultra-short bites between gates, a Sherlock Holmes or Maigret short-story collection gives you one case per boarding group.
