pickThis was an interesting geopolitical thriller with a spy caper plot. In the build up and development of the war in Ukraine, a 25 year love affair comes to a head when a Russian scientist reaches out to an old friend in the US. Balancing time and technology, we see how fragile relationships can become. 4 ⭐️
pickGreat, educational children's book for kids who show interest in space and astronomy. Well-written with very nice graphics! #Space #Astronomy #KidLit #Teachers
pickVery interesting overview of the events leading up to and resulting from the launch of the first satellite to orbit (though mostly from an American perspective). Dickson mixes thorough research with just enough interpretation. Excellent read.
Next up in my #spaceracereading: Starman: The Truth Behind the Legend of Yuri Gagarin.
I cannot even describe how excited I am, to have this in my hand. The long-lost thriller that Rankin previously didn‘t want published, has finally seen the light of day! I‘m so excited that everyone has a chance to read this now, because it is a great read! I just had to have a copy to finally complete my Rankin shelf. ❤️ #sharethelove
When I arrived at Stevenson at half past eleven, the basement kitchen was already overflowing with people. Some freshman boys had spun off a #satellite game of five-card stud in the common space, and I had to push past a group of giggling girls to get through the kitchen door. #QuotsyJan20

This book has been on my Kindle #TBR stack for ages. JPL is NASA‘s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The satellite mentioned is Sputnik & I found the old photo online—you can see the “trail” of the satellite behind the words.🛰
