Where has the time gone? The 2nd Quarter of 2026 was a busy one with work, lots of travel, and closing out several organization years. I’m not sure how I found the time to read, and it definitely wasn’t my strongest reading quarter, but I managed to read 17 books and gave an average 3.13 rating (oooffffff). Reminder- I am listing all of the books and ratings below, then highlighting my tops

Heat Clinic by Alexis B. Osborne NR
Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke 4 Stars This book is causing quite the controversy, and unfortunately, I can’t really share my full feelings unless you too have read this book. Most of my issues stem from the “twist” and how the author has inserted a smidge too much of their own biased opinion (aka I don’t need to be hit over the head with what I already know). But it’s an intriguing and thought-provoking book.
Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space by Adam Higginbotham NR A nonfiction has made the list! Over the last month of so I’ve been working through some NASA specific books, and I found this one to be particularly well done.
Daggermouth by H.M. Wolfe 4 Stars I’ve got to say, this fantasy romance gets the hype that it deserves. I loved this! I saw some of the twists, didn’t see others and overall had a delight of a time. I cannot wait for book two!
And that wraps things up for the 2nd Quarter of 2026!
