Station Eleven: A Novel (National Book Award Finalist)
Emily St John Mandel
Emily St. John Mandel shares some of her inline notes on Station Eleven (the novel), including some comments on the TV adaptation.

When We Cease to Understand the World
Benjamin Labatut
I didn't get sent a galley of this, but I finally picked it up and flew threw it. Mesmerizing. I suppose it would be classified as historical fiction but it feels like a genre all its own.
