b'This summer we devoured two novels by Mary Robinette Kowal, \\u201cThe Calculating Stars\\u201d and \\u201cThe Fated Sky.\\u201d They\\u2019re both exciting tales of space exploration, with well-rounded characters having to navigate challenges both external and internal, cultural and scientific, personal and global. They\\u2019re set in an alternate timeline where the Space Race we know happened quite a bit differently, and at the center is the world-famous Lady Astronaut, Elma York. We seriously can\\u2019t recommend these books highly enough. Listen in to find out why, and then stick around for a list of other books we really enjoyed!'
