pick4 ⭐This book chronicles Sophie Blanchard, the first woman to go solo in a hot air balloon. She was one of the first female aeronauts. Little is known of her life before marrying Jean Pierre Blanchard, a famous aerialist of the time. This is a great beginning look at woman who dared to do what many thought only men could do. Finding out that Sophie died so young, due to a fire and a fall from her balloon, is heartbreaking but also real.

My first completed book for the challenge! I was able to also get it in audio which helped. A low pick, just because this is the kind of nonfiction I find boring and would prefer in long form journalism, rather than a padded out book. But all the stars to Captain Sullenberger and the United Airlines crew. Their professionalism makes me feel more even confident about flying, for sure..
She felt the air turn crisp and cold, like the first taste of fall.
