• The Employees A Workplace Novel of the 22nd Century

  by Olga Ravn

  Finished 2022-04-16

  I don’t think I understood this book. I found it interesting, written in a way where the topic was kind of danced around rather than directly explained, but then it ended and I don’t know that I understood what was being danced around, for the most part.

• The Glass Hotel

  by Emily St. John Mandel

  Finished 2021-09-12

  I really liked Station Eleven . This one, I found interesting, but I’m not sure I got it. I feel like I might be too dumb to understand the subtext or the … point? of the story. Or even why it’s named The Glass Hotel .

• Daisy's Run (The Clockwork Chimera #1)

  by Scott Baron

  Finished 2020-10-15

  It was fine. My biggest annoyance is that about half the book is spent running from the obvious truth that the protagonist is misjudging the situation and she absolutely refuses to consider the possibility. That might be a spoiler I guess but it’s so, so obvious the whole time. I feel like it’s written that way intentionally. But then… it’s just annoying.
