The Odd DUck Society
|
Jessamy Aubertine is too much for her university classmates, too little for her overstressed mum, and nothing in between. Then a mysterious letter signed by Jane Austen brings her back to her family’s fading tea shop and a pair of unlikely comrades. Will they find the letter writer—and perhaps discover themselves along the way? Or will their friendship fade with The Muses?

about rachel

Rachel Leitch is a certified weird girl who writes young adult fantasy. Right now, she writes novels that capture the immersive comfort of your favorite fandom.
Rachel lives in northern Indiana with her family. During the school year, she tricks students into being bookish as an elementary paraprofessional. During the summer, she volunteers at an off-Broadway theater (no, not as an actress). In her (very limited) free time, she’s trying to fit all her reads on her shelf in a somewhat organized manner, consuming a level of chai that borders on hazardous, or nerding out over her fandom of the week. |

I Finally Watched Project Hail Mary
August 24, 2026
“You have to watch it. It is so up your alley, it’s not even funny. They basically made this movie for you, Rachel, just watch it.”
Well, I finally watched it, okay? And darn it all, my friends were exactly right.
For anyone who may not know, Project Hail Mary follows Ryland Grace, who wakes up completely alone on a spaceship with no clue how he got there. He has to piece together who he was before and why he’s there. Oh, yeah, and he makes contact with an alien who teams up with him to complete his mission.
Per usual, there will be spoilers, so if you’re like I was and you haven’t seen this movie yet, approach with caution.
Project Hail Mary is a story about loneliness, connection, and humanity.
