January's selection is Atmosphere: A Love Story by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Thursday, January 28th, 11-12pm
Pull up a seat on one of the couches and join us for Yarn Shop Book Club, where literary discussion meets extremely justifiable knitting time.
Led by our own Arlene, who knows how to guide a lively conversation and appreciate a well-timed, “Hang on, I just need to finish this row,” Book Club is perfect for readers who like their books discussed alongside yarn, laughter, and a little creative multitasking.
Bring your knitting, crochet, or any portable fiber project. Stitching during the discussion isn’t just allowed, it’s practically tradition. Expect good conversation, shared opinions, plenty of laughter, and the comforting rhythm of needles clicking while we discuss the book.
Not a knitter or crocheter? No worries. Grab a latte, settle into a couch, and join a lovely group of women who will actually discuss the story.
Because the best book discussions happen when everyone’s hands are busy.
Book summary:
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK • From the author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones & The Six comes an epic new novel set against the backdrop of the 1980s space shuttle program about the extraordinary lengths we go to live and love beyond our limits.
**The first edition paperback of Atmosphere features stenciled edges with a sunset cloud pattern!**
“Thrilling . . . heartbreaking . . . uplifting . . . the fast-paced, emotionally charged story of one ambitious young woman, finding both her voice and her passion.”—Kristin Hannah, author of The Women
“NASA? Space missions? The ’80s? This is a collection of all the things I love.”—Andy Weir, author of Project Hail Mary and The Martian
Joan Goodwin has been obsessed with the stars for as long as she can remember. Thoughtful and reserved, Joan is content with her life as a professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University and as aunt to her precocious niece, Frances. That is, until she comes across an advertisement seeking the first women scientists to join NASA’s space shuttle program. Suddenly, Joan burns to be one of the few people to go to space.
Selected from a pool of thousands of applicants in the summer of 1980, Joan begins training at Houston’s Johnson Space Center, alongside an exceptional group of fellow candidates: Top Gun pilot Hank Redmond and scientist John Griffin, who are kind and easygoing even when the stakes are highest; mission specialist Lydia Danes, who has worked too hard to play nice; warmhearted Donna Fitzgerald, who is navigating her own secrets; and Vanessa Ford, the magnetic and mysterious aeronautical engineer, who can fix any engine and fly any plane.
As the new astronauts become unlikely friends and prepare for their first flights, Joan finds a passion and a love she never imagined. In this new light, Joan begins to question everything she thinks she knows about her place in the observable universe.
Then, in December of 1984, on mission STS-LR9, it all changes in an instant.
Fast-paced, thrilling, and emotional, Atmosphere is Taylor Jenkins Reid at her best: transporting readers to iconic times and places, creating complex protagonists, and telling a passionate and soaring story about the transformative power of love—this time among the stars.
