Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Celestial Lights by Cecile Pin. On January 28, 1986, the Challenger shuttle broke apart shortly after launch and fell into the sea. At that same moment, Oliver Ines is born. This is the story of his life.
Ollie grows up in an English village, sleeping beneath glow‑in‑the‑dark constellations on his bedroom walls. Years later, he becomes one of the most celebrated astronauts of his generation. When a visionary billionaire recruits him to lead a groundbreaking mission to Europa, Ollie makes a decision that upends everything he knows.
As the mission pushes farther into the unknown, Ollie drifts back through the memories that shaped him—his university years in London, his time in the navy, the people he loved and lost, and the journey to becoming a husband and father. But as he ventures deeper into space, he wonders whether the life he left behind will still be there when he returns.

Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Even the Dead by John Banville. Quirke may have spent too many years among the dead. Recently, the Irish pathologist has been plagued by hallucinations and blackouts, and he worries they signal a brain tumor. A specialist instead traces the symptoms to an old head injury from a brutal beating and prescribes rest—but Quirke has no intention of stepping away from life.
During a sweltering June night, a car slams into a tree in central Dublin and erupts in flames. The police are quick to call it an accident or suicide, but Quirke’s examination suggests something far more troubling. Soon after, his daughter Phoebe is approached by a frightened pregnant woman who claims her life is in danger, though she can’t explain why. When the woman vanishes, Phoebe turns to her father, and Quirke brings in his longtime ally, Inspector Hackett.
Together, they follow a trail of secrets that leads them into a murky underworld where one of Dublin’s most influential men hides behind politics and religion to amass illicit wealth.

Young attorney Joshua Sutton, doctoral student Samantha Bollinger, and tech expert Mark Roth are pulled into a perilous three‑day search for the truth, one that stretches across centuries.
As Mark digs into the encrypted files, Josh and Sammi find themselves hunted across Florida by the killer and others determined to seize the laptop at any cost.

From Mongol‑era China and Imperial Rome to Byzantium, post‑Renaissance Venice, Tudor England, and the age of Charlemagne, these judges confront life‑or‑death trials that shape the very idea of human rights. And through their visions, Josh and Sammi uncover a secret more astonishing than they ever imagined.

Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Son of Nobody by Yann Martel. Long before Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey became the defining stories of the Trojan War, other tales existed. In this novel, Martel imagines one of them: the Psoad, an epic in free verse that follows Psoas of Midea, the son of a goatherd who leaves behind his wife and children to fight at Troy. Psoas meets a tragic end, and the poem chronicling his life disappears, until thirty centuries later, when Harlow Donne, a Canadian scholar at Oxford, uncovers its surviving fragments.
As Harlow pieces together the remnants and annotates them, he finds himself drawn into his own past, recalling his wife and daughter while wrestling with the timeless tensions between ambition, duty, and family. The novel overturns the noble, king‑centered lens of traditional epics, revealing instead how history echoes endlessly, how patterns repeat, and how the song never truly ends. Fans of Madeline Miller’s The Song of Achilles and Emily Wilson’s The Iliad will be captivated by this imaginative re‑envisioning of ancient myth.
