pickTJR is another automatic read, so are audiobooks read by Julia Whalen. This was amazing. I love when TJR picks a subject, dives headfirst into research, and then weaves a fantastic story that‘s both educational and fictional gold. This is hands-down, my favorite TJR book, possibly my favorite book of the year. Book #54 in 2025
I have heard so much hype regarding Taylor Jenkins Reid. Finally diving into one of her books - Atmosphere!
pickDevoured this one today in one sitting because I did not want to put it down!

Taylor Jenkins Reid is becoming a favorite for me. I loved this story. ❤️ Also, I have a comment/question for anyone who has read this. I‘ll put it in the comments section with a spoiler alert.
Unpopular opinion, pushed through 100 pages and never truly got it, bailed and said life is too short to read books you don‘t enjoy.
I love TJR and was dying to read this, but it fell short. They can‘t all be bangers😀
pickThis is the quintessential TJR read, which means there is a languid build-up where she grabs our hand to take us with her as she sets the scene. Then, without warning, you are invested in these lives. You love who they love, dislike those that do them wrong, and mostly shatter when they do. This story will be tucked away inside me for a long while.
pickI started this book concerned when I wasn‘t immediately drawn in. I ended the book with tears streaming down my face. Taylor Jenkins Reid got me again.
pickOh be still my heart 🥹😍!! This was nothing like what I expected! Yes, there‘s space travel and really cool behind the scenes aspects to NASA, but the real heart to it all is a tender love story for the ages. Joan is such a special character and watching her struggle with her hideous sister while trying to balance her love for her brilliant niece and the true love of her life, one she has to keep secret, was heart wrenching. So freaking good! 5🌟
Starting today on audio! 🎧
I‘ve been looking forward to this one for months!

pickThis is a terrific book - a narrative nonfiction history of the Apollo program told mainly through the astronauts. The book will win over jaded resistant readers and often keep us glued. The astronauts are super smart, but also foolish and emotionally distant.
One thing that struck me was the scale of the moonscape. Pike‘s Peak sized mountains outside the landers.
