Thank you x
How about Good Morning, Midnight?It is evenly split between space travel and earth but you have to read way down into the description to get that.
BTW - even if you don't approve, it's an excellent book & I highly recommend!

For option two: The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells? " Greta cycles between her own time and her alternate lives . . ."

Elizabeth wrote: "Would One Giant Leap work for book 2 - space travel?"Approved. I was on the fence about this one, but digging into the reviews, it looks like the mission and mechanics of space travel do take up a significant portion of the book.
I've got so many books with 'moon' words I can't place! Honeymoon, Moonglow - so close, and yet not approved.On the other hand, I have a couple of picks for Book 2, so could you verify:
Version Control (which shows time travel in the genres right now) & All the Birds in the Sky (the description mentions the two-second time machine watch he builds)
Thanks!

Version Control approved.
All the Birds In the Sky, not approved. Digging into the reviews, I see there is a two-second time machine, but so are several other sci-fi-ish machines, and I can't find any indication that time travel is integral to the plot - the 2sTM just seems to me to be an early indication of the hero's genius, as he invented it in middle school.
If anyone's read the book and can tell me it should be approved, I'll listen, but based strictly on its Goodreads page, it's a no.

Would Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race work for Book 2 (as "mechanics of space travel")?
