Highly accessible hard sci-fi (even for an English major who could DEFINETLY be outsmarted by a middle school science class) . Endearing characters. Unexpected choices made. The audiobook is a gem. Really takes advantage of what audiobooks can bring to the story.

Into the Drowning Deep (Rolling in the Deep, #1)

Mira Grant

New York Times bestselling author Mira Grant, author of the renowned Newsflesh series, returns with a novel that takes us to a new world of ancient mysteries and mythological dangers come to life. Seven years ago, the Atargatis set off on a voyage to the Mariana Trench to film a "mockumentary" bringing to life ancient sea creatures of legend. It was lost at sea with all hands. Some have called it a hoax; others have called it a maritime tragedy. Now, a new crew has been assembled. But this time they're not out to entertain. Some seek to validate their life's work. Some seek the greatest hunt of all. Some seek the truth. But for the ambitious young scientist Victoria Stewart this is a voyage to uncover the fate of the sister she lost. Whatever the truth may be, it will only be found below the waves. But the secrets of the deep come with a price.

Project Hail Mary

Andy Weir

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone. Or does he?

Books I read as a kid that "traumatized" me

I cannot be the only one that read some books as a kid that just....wow. Maybe we were too young, or too unsupervised, or just...why did adults think that was appropriate?????

I've been remembering a story off and on forever that I hadn't been able to find and I JUST remembered enough details to find them!

Did anyone else read The Angels trilogy by Lurlene McDaniel? Published in 1996 and wow did I get obsessed for at least a summer about cancer and illness.
🤦‍♀️

I also read "It" by Stephen King in middle school. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

And "Interview with A Vampire" shortly after "It". 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

What did you read when you were probably too young and did it stick with you?
