Record of a Spaceborn Few (by Becky Chambers)

The penultimate category in the Read Harder Challenge was a hard one. "A book based solely on its setting." I really wanted to read a book set on a generational starship and I downloaded a bunch of them.  None of them really hit right. I think I made it like 30% into Ark and they still hadn't gotten on any sort of ship and I was bored. 

Finally I chose this one, a Wayfarers book set on a generational ship, following 5 different point of view characters who live as part of the Exodus Fleet.  And, well, it was a bit boring. The point of view keeps switching and I kept forgetting who was who, and there was really no plot. Like each of the point of view characters has a very paper-thin plot, I suppose, most of them.  But everything worked out mostly great in the end because this is the coziest of cozy sci fi.

I really want Andy Weir to write a book set on a generational ship.  Can someone give him a call for me? Thanks.
