#TheCalculatingStars is fresh, readable and fun... also some of the best alternate history I've read in a long time. If you like #HiddenFigures or #TheRightStuff, this will be right up your alley:

The calculating stars by Mary Robinette Kowal

#TheCalculatingStars went into this thinking it was decades of space travel like Seveneves, but found it was a far more modest journey~

Pros
The detail! The accuracy! It’s rich in precise alternate history

Cons
A dearth of unremarkable domesticity without literary nuance to keep it interesting

Reading the wonderful #TheCalculatingStars by @maryrobinettekowal.com and the phrase "sparking my own ignition sequence" will go down 😉 in the history of double entendres as one of the best. Thank you Mary Robinette for causing the biggest smile on my dog walk this morning! #sciencefiction

So I'm listening to the audiobook of #theCalculatingStars & I hear fireworks go off next door, ~30 min early ---but they hit perfectly w/ the MCs' climax!
This book is awesome!
Happy New Year (in 6 min)!!

That was a fun one. 💖🚀 We discussed photos of NASA's newest spacesuits, consoled someone about their cooking mishap, enthused about books (yay as always for @MaryRobinette's #TheCalculatingStars!), talked about hiking, and considered the relative merits of crêpes and pancakes.

I want to grow up to be a Lady Astronaut. #thecalculatingstars @MaryRobinette @WritingExcuses @howardtayler @SandraTayler
