I’m reading and loving MALIBU RISING by @tjenkinsreid! I always love Taylor’s books and this one is so good too—it has me totally enthralled!

Thank you @randomhouse for sending me this book!

𝑺𝒚𝒏𝒐𝒑𝒔𝒊𝒔:

Malibu: August 1983. It’s the day of Nina Riva’s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone wants to be around the famous Rivas: Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel; brothers Jay and Hud, one a championship surfer, the other a renowned photographer; and their adored baby sister, Kit. Together the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over—especially as the offspring of the legendary singer Mick Riva.

The only person not looking forward to the party of the year is Nina herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention, and who has also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis player husband. Oh, and maybe Hud—because it is long past time for him to confess something to the brother from whom he’s been inseparable since birth.

Jay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall, when the girl he can’t stop thinking about promised she’ll be there.

And Kit has a couple secrets of her own—including a guest she invited without consulting anyone.

By midnight the party will be completely out of control. By morning, the Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. But before that first spark in the early hours before dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped this family’s generations will all come rising to the surface.

NEW REVIEW: PROJECT HAIL MARY by Andy Weir! 👇🏻

Andy Weir’s PROJECT HAIL MARY sends a science teacher to space in a last-ditch effort to save humanity.

The sun is losing luminosity at an exponential rate—something seems to be siphoning its power alarmingly fast. It’s clear whatever is happening is affecting surrounding stars, all but one—Tau Ceti.

The world’s best minds gather to problem solve, but without answers and with the extinction of humankind looming, a crew agrees to a suicide mission to figure things out.

Ryland Grace was once a well-known molecular biologist, but a controversial paper (and its resulting fallout) pulled him out of academia. Now, as a junior-high-school teacher, he somehow gets tapped to participate in a global taskforce to figure out what’s going on with the sun.

Fast forward some time and Grace wakes up in space—the sole survivor of a mission he can’t seem to recall. But as murky memories begin to return, he realizes the impossible task before him. Light years away and alone, Ryland Grace is humanity’s last chance at survival and time is running out.

As with all of Weir’s novels, PROJECT HAIL MARY is relentlessly propulsive, rife with tension and problem solving. Grace is very much a reluctant hero, and his coming to terms with his role in the mission, as well as his friendship with an unlikely ally, are the main charms of this must-read apocalyptic sci-fi thriller. Non-stop twists (problems) kept me turning the pages, really clamoring to see what would happen next. I love the science, I love the very real relationship dynamics, I love the vulnerability of Grace, and I love that I couldn’t put it down.

It’s an emotional, edge-of-your-seat interstellar race against time and it’s fantastic.
