my first sci-fi book: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

a big hit movie that is out, but the book is fantastic.

it is about a middle school science teacher who ends up being sent to space to "save the world."  Ryan Gosling plays him in movie. 

I liked it so much I am now reading his first book, "the Martian" that was also made into a movie starring Matt Damon.  

if you want to try a new genre, this is a good one.

I've been reading a lot of low key mysteries that include Search and Rescue Dogs since I finished all of Danielle Steele.

 

Also pulled The Look by Michele Obama out of the digital library.  It's all about her fashion.......mostly I just looked at the photos. Smiley LOL

I've just finished Ambition and Desire by Kate Williams.  I really enjoyed this book about Napoleon and,Josephine.  It really delves into their relationship.  It's well written and highly researched.

I'm currently reading Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher. It's my first time reading anything by this author. So far I'm really enjoying it.

I read Napoleon and Josephine by  Frances Mossiker. It's about their marriage. I guess I read it in the '60s. I really liked it.
