Introducing the New Space Bookie Club by Aviation Marie
If you’ve ever looked up at the stars and wondered what it’s like to live in orbit, walk on another planet, or understand the mysteries of the cosmos, you’re not alone. That curiosity is exactly what inspired Aviation Marie to create the Space Bookie Club, a brand-new seasonal book club experience focused on stories that launch your imagination beyond Earth.
What is the Space Bookie Club?
The Space Bookie Club is a reading community dedicated to exploring space-related books, audiobooks, and eBooks through a curated selection chosen by our founder and space enthusiast, Aviation Marie. From astronaut memoirs to cosmic non-fiction and science fiction favorites, this club invites you to read, learn, and dream bigger—wherever you are on Earth.
This isn’t your typical book club. It’s not tied to a rigid schedule or monthly routine. Instead, Space Bookie Club runs by season, offering you the flexibility to join when the universe calls you.
Meet Wookie: Our Space Bookie Mascot
No space club would be complete without a co-pilot, and ours is furry, friendly, and full of personality. Meet Wookie, the official mascot of the Space Bookie Club! He’s your guide through this space-lit journey and proof that even the fluffiest crewmembers love a good book.
Kicking Off With “Endurance” by Scott Kelly
For our first seasonal read, we’re diving into “Endurance” by Scott Kelly, a groundbreaking astronaut who spent an entire year aboard the International Space Station. Narrated by the author himself in its audiobook format, this memoir offers a raw, inspiring, and deeply personal look into life in space, isolation, resilience, and what it means to push the limits of the human body and spirit.
Scott Kelly’s unique experience includes:
• A year-long mission aboard the ISS
• Participation in NASA’s Twin Study alongside his brother, Senator Mark Kelly
• Training as a U.S. Navy and Space Shuttle pilot
• Historic collaboration with Russia’s Soyuz program during the shuttle era’s retirement
This story isn’t just about space — it’s about humanity, science, politics, and survival. And it’s the perfect launchpad for the Space Bookie Club’s journey.
Why “Bookie”?
Because it rhymes with Wookie — and let’s face it, if Chewbacca joined a book club, it would be loud, exciting, and out of this world. The Space Bookie Club is here to bring that same energy and fun to readers and space lovers everywhere.
How to Participate
You can read the book in any format: physical, digital, or audiobook — whatever works best for you. Throughout the season, we’ll share insights, fun facts, and open discussions.
