Goldilocks by Laura Lam
She said her goodbyes, one by one. She spoke out loud to them, her voice soft but unwavering. Sharing her memories, thanking them for what they had learned, what they had taught her. If they could speak, would they accept their fate? Or would they beg, plead, fight for the same chance at life? If you've seen anything about this book, you've likely seen the formula that it's The Handmaid's Tale meets The Martian , and that's a pretty apt pitch. US society has turned so conservative that women have been pushed from their jobs. Earth has been so destroyed that there's urgent need to move to a new planet and one has been found in a "Goldilocks"-zone: not too hot, not too cold. Goldilocks by Laura Lam Orbit, 2020 Review copy via publisher Read Harder reading challenge Valerie Black, genius inventor, has been building toward this momentous event -- with technology, money, and skilled crew. Her ward, Naomi Lovelace, is to be the crew's bio

ReplyDeleteI should be reading Conquistadora, as I'm only on page 83 and it's due in about two weeks, but my mom just brought home a copy of The American Heiress, which has been on my to-read list since your stellar review.
Decisions, decisions.
