	Description:		Mary Robinette Kowal's "Lady Astronaut" novels This summer we devoured two novels by Mary Robinette Kowal, “The Calculating Stars” and “The Fated Sky.” They’re 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’re 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’t recommend these books highly enough. Listen in to find out why, and then stick around for a list of other books we really enjoyed! Host Jason Snell with Aleen Simms, Kathy Campbell, Marisa McClellan and David J. Loehr Highlights 1:29 — The Calculating Stars 40:30 — The Fated Sky 59:17 — What are we reading?
