Atmosphere: A Love Story by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Joan Goodwin has been obsessed with the stars for as long as she can remember. Thoughtful and reserved, she is content with her life as a professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University and as an aunt to her precocious niece, Frances. That is, until she comes across an advertisement seeking the first women scientists to join NASA’s space shuttle program. Suddenly, Joan burns to be one of the few people to go to space.

Ingrained: The Making of a Craftsman by Callum Robinson
Robinson’s memoir “begins with a visit to a hidden sawmill in northern Scotland – a secret place filled with possibilities, where treasures are waiting to be uncovered and passions are soon to be reignited. It’s a scene that will resonate with any woodworker who loves digging about in dark sheds and dusty barns hunting for the perfect piece of wood. Here is an uplifting meditation on the challenges of working with your hands in our modern age, on community, consumerism, and the beauty of the natural world” (The Scotsman)

The Listeners by Maggie Stiefvater
“Local girl-turned-general manager June Hudson has guided the Avallon Hotel & Spa skillfully through the first pangs of World War II. But when hotel’s owners make a secret deal with the State Department to fill the hotel with captured Axis diplomats, June must persuade her staff—many of whom have sons and husbands heading to the front lines—to offer luxury to Nazis. With a smile” (Amazon). Based on a true story.
