I was wondering why my latest article had gotten a significantly higher number of social media impressions than usual…

It’s not every day you get retweeted by an astronaut! :D

An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth - Chris Hadfield

Chris Hadfield, Canadian astronaut and Commander of the International Space Station in 2012-13, writes an eye-opening account of his life as an astronaut and the lessons he's learned along the way.

It is both a fascinating story of what it's really like to be in space and how an astronaut spends their time when they're not in space, and also some of the most helpful self-help advice I've ever read. In the midst of describing the intense and varied training needed not only to become an astronaut but constantly throughout their career, and the unexpected challenges of living and working in zero-gravity, Hadfield talks about the importance of such counterintuitive concepts as visualizing failure, aiming to be a zero, and always sweating the small stuff, and how these things that have been absolutely essential to his career in space have also served him well in his daily life on Earth.

I enjoyed this book so much! I got it from the library but now I need to buy my own because this is one of the few nonfiction books I would actually want to read again.

I got to see astronaut Chris Hadfield tonight while reviewing the premiere of the play based on his book, The Darkest Dark! The play was charming, and so was he.

He even put on the prop helmet.

When asked what inspired his childhood interest in space, he of course mentioned Star Trek and Captain Kirk.

the apollo murders - chris hadfield

final thoughts:

what a thrill! written by a literal astronaut, this book is perfect for early spaceflight fans. i loved loved the shifting perspectives and all the characters, and the way he wove real people into the narrative was excellently done. this book reminded me a lot of the martian in the best way, and it also really helped fill the void that the last season of 'for all mankind' ending left in my weekly routine. this book was pretty much exactly what youd expect, perfectly executed, and so suspenseful that when i was listening to the audiobook while doing dishes i kept putting the dishes down to stare openmouthed into the middle distance.

Favorite books I read in 2022

WINTER'S ORBIT by Everina Maxwell

Winter's Orbit and its sequel Ocean's Echo were not what I expected, it was in fact better than what I could have imagined: I was hooked from the first line and I instantly wanted to know more about the world-building. It focuses a lot on political and military intrigues, and we follow two characters, Taam and Janain, who have been forced into a political marriage. This book made me love the miscommunication trope because it was done so well and actually added something to the story.

BEATING HEART BABY by Lio Min

I think it might be my favorite of this year. I'm not exaggerating when I say I think about it at least once a day. And I wish I could find the words to explain why I loved it so much, but i'll never do it justice. It's a story full of poetry: it's a love letter to art, to queerness, to found family, to the magic connection you can form on the internet and learning how to be the best version of yourself for yourself and for others. It made me yearn and made my heart ache because I wanted them to be happy and find closure, but also support. It was raw but perfect in its imperfection. Santi, an artist, arrives at a new school and there he might have to confront someone from his past. And there's Suwa who desperatly wants to be a singer and be accepted by his father. The first half is told from Santi's pov and then the second is from Suwa's.

THE ASTRONAUT'S GUIDE TO LIFE ON EARTH by Chris Hadfield

It was honestly one of the best memoirs /autobiographies I've ever read, but An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth is so much more than that. I'm glad that I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Hadflied himself because he was born for this. He tells his story - and the story of space's exploration- from the moment he dreamed of going to space to the three times he went to space. It was like reading an autobiography and a self help book at the same time but it worked so well, because i never felt like he was throwing these inspirational quotes at random, no he explained why he chose to focus on the positive and how it helped him. 

ALONG FOR THE RIDE by Sarah Dessen

I read this book back in May, after watching the movie adaptation on Netflix. I absolutely loved how Dessen explored the family's drama and the pressure to make your parents proud, the loneliness and awkwardness when you don't feel like you fit in and finally the internalized misogyny. From the first line, I was hooked. Auden is constantly learning and being confronted to her misogyny and how it also affected her, but also how it still affects her mother, who is the reason why Auden can be so judgmental. But I never found her unlikable. Messy, yes, but I never hated her. I loved to see her growth and finding herself. And it didn't happen thanks to romantic love, but with the love and care of her friends, and even sometimes strangers. Actually, I felt like the friendships she formed with the Leah, Esther, Maggie and the boys (and also Heidi) was more central to the story, and even Auden's self-love.

SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE by Morgan Matson

I read this one during summer because I was in the mood for a summer coming of age story and it delivered. Emily finds herself isolated during the summer because her parents are working on their new play and her best friend disappeared without a trace, only leaving her a list of "quests" to accomplish. She puts all her energy into this list in the hope it will bring back her best friend in town. I love the importance of friendship: her new friends help her with the list and they all brought the best in each other. I sadly didn't write a review for this beforehand, but It was one of my favorite Morgan Matson books, and I can see myself re-reading it.

ANNE OF GREEN GABLES by L.M. Montgomery

I lost count of how many times I watched Anne with an E. It means a lot to me. It was an interesting experience to read the book after, and i can't wait to read the rest of the series.

I HEAR THE SUNSPOT: THEORY OF HAPPINESS by Yuki Fumino

This is the cover of the second volume. I've read volume 1 & 2 back in September, and I didn't expect to love this manga that much. I even had to take a break at some point because the loneliness and the yearning was too much. It's such a good story about two university students, one hearing, one Deaf, who become friends and eventually get together. It deals a lot with class issues, accessibility and ableism / audism.

L'HIVER DU COMMISSAIRE RICCIARDI by Maurizio De Giovanni

It's initially an italian novel, but I read the french translation after borrowing it from the family I babysit for. I mention this because I barely read mystery / crime novel but this one was so good. It sets in Naples, in the 30s under Mussolini, and we follow Ricciardi. Since he was a child, he could see and experience the last moments of the dead, which helps him resolve investigations. The prose was beautiful and cinematographic, I could picture everything as if I was there. As for the investigation: it was resolved too easily in my opinion but I liked it. Ricciardi has to find the killer of a famous opera singer, the thing is, he died in his loge which was closed from the inside.
