The Dream Hotel
by Laila Lalami
View in Library Catalog
book cover


If you ever watched the movie, Minority Report, this book has a similar take on the surveillance state. However, Lalami's presentation feels more real and prescient and less futuristic. With the rise of AI intelligence and integrated computer systems, one can easily imagine the fate of our protagonist, as she is swept up and placed in a detention center based on an algorithm's output. The book is gripping and tense at times, but also does a good job of showing us how technology can worm its way into our lives in ways we may not have imagined.

Sarah's books are filled with humor and mystery. Nothing creepy... but gets you thinking. And of course, the setting of these dilemmas are based in a wonderful bakery in Eastport, Maine.

Such an interesting book! I got a little bored once I got into the trade and consumers sections but the earlier parts of the book were loaded with very detailed explanations of fibers, history of textiles, and how it has impacted humanity.

Imagine, if you will, that your life completely changes because of an accident… You take responsibility for your alcohol and drug usage and just when you think you will be free, a pandemic happens. This was a powerful and moving book. (I shed some tears.)

The Sisters

book cover


An infinitely readable family saga centering around the magnetic three sisters of a Swedish-Tunisian family and the curse that invades their lives. I loved the structure of this book (very important given the 600+ pages) and the way it drew you into the story of the immigrant experience and inescapable bonds of family, loss and love. Highly recommend.

This was my first time reading from this author. Really liked her writing style. The book was humorous and very serious at times. Two women who own a bakery get involved in shenanigans that put them in very dire situations - but in this book they overcame the obstacles they were faced with and found a twist of an outcome.
