Happy Solar Eclipse Day!!!
Things like this make me realise how amazing our planet (and universe) are but also how little know about them.
So I was wondering if any has any books non-fiction or fiction about space, astrology or the moon that you loved? Or any fun facts that you love telling people?
Happy watching and be safe!

Later today, August 12, around 17:47 UTC, a solar eclipse will occur with the path of totality covering Greenland, Iceland and Spain. A partial eclipse, covering around 90% of the sun, will be visible in most of Europe, North and West Africa, and northern North America.
Who is planning to watch the solar eclipse today? 🙌 If you're thinking about going out, please remember to protect your eyes! If you don't have eclipse glasses available, 🔗here are some creative ways to still enjoy the spectacle.
I'm really excited, this is something very special for me and I've never seen it before in my life!! Keeping my fingers crossed for clear skies for everyone who's watching 🤞🍀
So, to come back to the bookish side of things: A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun and totally or partly obscures the view of the sun for a viewer on earth.
What is your favorite book where the Sun and/or the Moon play an important part in the story?
Mine are Klara and the Sun 🌞 (really looking forward to the upcoming movie adaptation!) and The Girl Who Drank The Moon 🌙 (loved the Ghibli vibes in this one)
EDIT: As @starrynightsx mentioned, it's not only Solar Eclipse Day but also the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower! So it's the perfect night to keep an eye on the sky if you live in the Northern Hemisphere ✨️☄️

This was soooo weird in such a fun and delightful way. Granted, I’ve never been a member of a K-Pop fandom, but I HAVE been in what feels like a bajillion other fandoms, so a lot of the fandom behavior the narrator took part in made sense to me. And even the weirder things she did, while not making sense to me, did reflect a portion of fandom in which people do the weirdest things for their favorite actor or musician or athlete or what have you. Aside from how weird some of the actions were, the book was written so incredibly well. The language was so descriptive and you feel a connection to the narrator even when she’s doing things that are outrageous. It’s such a fun exploration of fandom and just genuinely, I cannot overstate this, weird in the best way.
