The Whisper Network

The Whisper Network: A Novel by Chandler Baker     368 pages

There is the underlying sense of some illusive piece of the puzzle missing.    Something that is not quite right but what?   You know there is more to the story and try as you might to read between the lines you will wonder all the way through what everyone's motive is and who is lying and why and who might just be telling the truth.    Great suspense novel - you know something isn't right but are things as they seem or does someone have a vendetta?   Well told.   An excellent who done it and will you be surprised!  I highly recommend this one to all fans of suspense and mystery.

Reset

Reset by Ellen K. Pao Audiobook 10 hours Book 274 pages

"In 2015, Ellen K. Pao sued a powerhouse Silicon Valley venture capital firm, calling out workplace discrimination and retaliation against women and other underrepresented groups. Her suit rocked the tech world--and exposed its toxic culture and its homogeneity. Her message overcame negative PR attacks that took aim at her professional conduct and her personal life, and she won widespread public support-- Time hailed her as "the face of change." Though Pao lost her suit, she revolutionized the conversation at tech offices, in the media, and around the world. In Reset, she tells her full story for the first time." - SLPL

This book read like fiction, it was so engrossing. The only thing was the reader gets upset because then you realize the book is non-fiction and all her accounts are true. I don't know how much editing was done on this book, but either way it was written very well. I totally sympathized with Ellen and couldn't stand the people she worked for/with who treated her and other poc so terribly. I'm sure this book was a wake up call to many that there is a lot in the business world that needs to change. There are still old prejudices and biases and the world will not progress the way it needs to if these prejudices and biases aren't called out. I recommend this book to anyone who just likes to read good books, I think anyone (with an open mind) who read it would enjoy it.
