NOW AVAILABLE! Project Hail Mary (2026)

This movie adaptation of Andy Weir's sci fi novel was a hot ticket this summer. While the movie simplifies much of the science that enriches the story told in the book version, Ryan Gosling gives a charismatic performance as Ryland Grace.

I recommend reading the book or listening to the audiobook first, then enjoying the movie so you can compare the two.

2026 Reading Challenge
Bonus – A book by an author featured on our Podcast
Betrayed by Lisa Scottoline

This is the second book in the Rosato series. While I can say it is a typical Scottoline book, that doesn't mean it is boring or predictable, just that it is filled with plot twists, suspense, and romance troubles for the main character. We catch up with Judy Carrier from the first book and find her at a career and personal crossroad when she takes on an investigation into the death of her aunt's friend. The investigation comes close to home and danger lurks the deeper she digs. The backdrop is her aunt's cancer diagnosis and her boyfriend Frank's lack of commitment.

Check out our Behind The Books podcast, new episodes drop every other Wednesday and feature an author interview and updates from MCLS.
