I didn't plan this & didn't know about #Artemis II until recently. But the #BannedBookSkyClub is reading #TheMartian by Andy Weir, which fits the current astronaut/NASA theme. I'll start sharing talking points Wednesday, April 15, 2026 (or the evening before, depending). Join us! #BookSky

#BannedBookSkyClub April 2026 book is #TheMartian by Andy Weir. I'll start sharing talking points on Wednesday, April 15 (or the evening before, depending). While not technically banned, a classroom edition was published since school boards were rejecting the book because of profanity. #BookSky
