November’s Book Club Pick

"Aurora Rising" cover for November's book pick

November’s book club pick is Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. On the third Wednesday of every month, we’ll post our thoughts in a mini-review post. Pick up a copy of Aurora Rising and read along with us.

From Penguin Random House:

From the New York Times and internationally bestselling authors of the Illuminae Files comes a new science fiction epic …

The year is 2380, and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Star pupil Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the academy would touch …

A cocky diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm A sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates A smart-ass tech whiz with the galaxy’s biggest chip on his shoulder An alien warrior with anger-management issues A tomboy pilot who’s totally not into him, in case you were wondering

And Ty’s squad isn’t even his biggest problem–that’d be Aurora Jie-Lin O’Malley, the girl he’s just rescued from interdimensional space. Trapped in cryo-sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl out of time and out of her depth. But she could be the catalyst that starts a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler’s squad of losers, discipline cases, and misfits might just be the last hope for the entire galaxy.

NOBODY PANIC.

We look forward to taking this galactic journey with you! ❤
