Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi Saw it on the new SciFi shelf at Next Town Over Library and figured why not? A fun romp very much in keeping with the zeitgeist. If you like science fiction and enjoyed Glass Onion, I reckon you'll like this. The protagonist, Jamie, gets laid off from a tech start-up at the outset of the book, just as the pandemic kicks off. Stuck as a delivery person (think Uber Eats), Jamie gets a tip of a different kind from a former acquaintance who recognizes them despite the mask - a new job with an animal rights organization. Large animals. No one mentions until you've already signed on the dotted line, had your shots, and shipped off to the field that the animals in question are kaiju. (And 'the field' is a parallel Earth in another dimension...)
