pickThis book had lots of themes that would be good for kids of any age. In the book a child goes to mars and meets an alien. It teaches not to judge books by their cover and has some great illustrations as well as humor.

pickI thoroughly enjoyed it, and the movie 🤎
Mark Watney gets left for dead after a storm threatens to destroy the space ship, causing the rest of the crew to abandon Mars. Somehow, he survives and even manages to grow potatoes.
I admit the amount of math in this book lost me, but I did love Watney's sense of humor.

In Translation. I live pretty close to some used bookstores. Dangerous! 📚
I‘m really trying to finish this but Yoshi demands my attention 😂 not sure why I‘m taking forever to read this book, I do enjoy the story actually! I will try to finish it up soon- the last months I did have a bit of a reading slump but I think I made it out of it!

I decided to use my 2 Audible credits to purchase these 2 books. My library doesn‘t have the audiobooks for these books and there‘s a long wait for the ebooks from my library. I heard that Piranesi has beautiful, whimsical writing but you have to be okay with not knowing what‘s going on in the beginning and I heard that The Martian is hilarious and has a lot of science terminology. I‘ve also heard that Wil Wheaton is a great narrator.
so-soThat was just, So SO MUCH. It appears that the challenge of writing about the long term effects of humanity settling on Mars was no longer enough in this last installment of the trilogy, so Robinson sprinkled in concerns about Earth and then extended out to the rest of our solar system! And of course, it's not just the political ramifications of trade or immigration between Earth and Mars, 1/?
