Honestly, there really is no running theme to these books other than they feature astronomical bodies in the titles, but is there ever a bad time for a book list? I don’t think so. They also happen to be books Tanita and\/or I enjoyed and reviewed here on the blog. If you’re looking for some eclipse-worthy reading, put on your special dork, I mean dark, glasses and check these out! Meanwhile, I’ll be in a car, probably stuck in traffic, driving up through Oregon hoping to witness the real deal…<\/p>\n

In no particular order: <\/p>\n

Every Soul a Star<\/a> by Wendy Mass (MG fiction; this one is actually about a solar eclipse!)
\nBlack Hole Sun<\/a>, Invisible Sun,<\/a> and Shadow on the Sun<\/a> by David Macinnis Gill (action-packed sci-fi)
\nI’ll Give You the Sun<\/a> by Jandy Nelson (nothing whatsoever to do with eclipses that I remember)
\nThe Midnighters<\/a> trilogy by Scott Westerfeld (a good, scary read)
\nHorizon<\/a> by Patti Larsen (more sci-fi)
\nSunbolt <\/a>by Intisar Khanani (wonderful indie fantasy)
