We Are Experiencing a Slight Delay by Gary Janetti was on a list of the best books of the year. I listen to the audiobook read by the author. He is funny and sarcastic about the downs and ups of traveling. His father worked for a cruise line for most of his adult life, giving his family the opportunity to travel frequently on the Queen Elizabeth. Janetti has high standards and rigorous ideas of travel and dining. His writing reminds me of David Sedaris's essays with keen insight, biting humor, and underpinned by love for those close to him.

I read the final two books of The Great Library series by Rachel Caine: Smoke and Iron and Sword and Pen. Caine tells the story from several different perspectives quite well. She takes a group of six students at the start of their training and grows them into mature characters who suffer, grow, and change the world.

Atmosphere is the latest book by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I have read several books by Reid. She has a knack for tapping into the cultural zeitgeist and exploring modern issues through historical fiction. A theme in her work is women trying to flourish against discrimination. In this book set in the early 1980s, Joan Goodwin is among some of the first women to be accepted into the astronaut corps. Joan is intellectually formidable and determined to bring excellence to her efforts to achieve her dream without losing her innate kindness. The challenge of succeeding as an astronaut makes a meek former college professor into someone who knows what she wants and dares to go after it.
