This month we're reading: "Atmosphere" by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
Joan Goodwin, a reserved physics professor at Rice University, finds her quiet life upended when she is selected for NASA’s first cohort of female shuttle astronauts in 1980. Amidst the high-stakes training at Johnson Space Center, Joan forms intense bonds with a charismatic team of pilots and engineers, eventually discovering a passion that shifts her entire understanding of the universe. But in December 1984, mission STS-LR9 changes everything. Fast-paced and deeply emotional, Atmosphere is a soaring exploration of love and transformation set against the iconic backdrop of the Space Race.
