Recs if you like Across the Universe...

Allow me to set the scene:

It’s 2 AM on a school night but you only have 100 pages left. You will power through. Forget the math test you have first period. This is your priority. And you must know how the book ends.

Pagebound Millennials: what YA were you reading?

"we left the ground behind. we left the oceans. we left the air. we watched these things grow small. we watched them shrink into a point of light... we are the children who continue on."

the staples of the book community on youtube in the early to mid 2010s.

science fiction about people living and working on space ships or space stations, in the near or far future.

“from the ground, we stand. from our ships, we live. by the stars, we hope.”

On space travel and moon joy. 🌌 A mixture of non-fiction, historical fiction and hard science fiction.

YA novels with mental health representation.

We lined up outside bookstores like they were Taylor Swift album drops. Midnight releases, theories, merch, movie chaos. Peak YA and nothing has hit like that since.
