Atmosphere

Taylor Jenkins Reid

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones & The Six comes an epic new novel set against the backdrop of the 1980s space shuttle program and the extraordinary lengths we go to live and love beyond our limits. Joan Goodwin has been obsessed with the stars for as long as she can remember. Thoughtful and reserved, Joan is content with her life as a professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University and as 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. Selected from a pool of thousands of applicants in the summer of 1980, Joan begins training at Houston’s Johnson Space Center, alongside an exceptional group of fellow candidates: Top Gun pilots Hank Redmond and John Griffin, who are kind and easy-going even when the stakes are highest; mission specialist Lydia Danes, who has worked too hard to play nice; warm-hearted Donna Fitzgerald, who is navigating her own secrets; and Vanessa Ford, the magnetic and mysterious aeronautical engineer, who can fix any engine and fly any plane. As the new astronauts become unlikely friends and prepare for their first flights, Joan finds a passion and a love she never imagined. In this new light, Joan begins to question everything she thinks she knows about her place in the observable universe. Then, in December of 1984, on mission STS-LR9, everything changes in an instant. Fast-paced, thrilling, and emotional, Atmosphere is Taylor Jenkins Reid at her best: transporting readers to iconic times and places, with complex protagonists, telling a passionate and soaring story about the transformative power of love, this time among the stars.

if you've ever TRULY yearned for a girl in your life as a closeted lesbian, this book will chew you up and spit you out. it's so painfully relatable, and i felt a little too seen for my liking😭 in the nicest way, i hate this book😭😭😭 i hate it because it had me hanging by a thread the entire time. but it was so so so good. highly recommend👍

This is my first F/F romance and GOD does it feel safe. Feels like it's a bit long compared to other romcoms but I can see how it's useful for character development and the evolution of the story.

i was wondering if anyone else has ever looked at frankenstein through a queer lens?

it’s been ages since i last read it (currently rereading it!) but every time i talk about how much i love the story, i end up thinking it could connect to queer coding or queer themes somehow.

i’ve never really dug deeper into that idea, but it always comes up when i think about it. has anyone else felt the same way? or read anything that discusses it? i’d love to know if you’ve already read essays or articles out about it.

i’ll come back once i finish the reread to share my own thoughts, but i’m really curious to hear what others think in the meantime!

Frankenstein

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Alternate cover edition of ISBN-13: ‎978-0141439471 / ISBN-10: 0141439475 'Now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart ...' Obsessed with creating life itself, Victor Frankenstein plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, which he shocks into life with electricity. But his botched creature, rejected by Frankenstein and denied human companionship, sets out to destroy his maker and all that he holds dear. Mary Shelley's chilling Gothic tale was conceived when she was only eighteen, living with her lover Percy Shelley near Byron's villa on Lake Geneva. It would become the world's most famous work of horror fiction, and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity. Based on the third edition of 1831, this volume contains all the revisions Mary Shelley made to her story, as well as her 1831 introduction and Percy Bysshe Shelley's preface to the first edition. This revised edition includes as appendices a select collation of the texts of 1818 and 1831 together with 'A Fragment' by Lord Byron and Dr John Polidori's 'The Vampyre: A Tale'.

Nope I’m sorry I just can’t with the cringey writing. She literally said “bow chika wow wow” 🫩

Darcy is just terrible with her condescending attitude and Elle is insufferable with her 2012 tumblr “quirkiness”. I get it’s an opposites attract situation but their personalities could’ve been written better and still had that “black cat/golden retriever” vibe.

I just don’t think I’m the right age demographic for this. I feel like if I read this when I was like 19 and during that 2012 tumblr era I would’ve enjoyed this a lot more.
