"Who has ever heard of Norma Cenva? ... You think a man designed the first Guild ship? Your history books told you it was Aurelius Venport? They lied. It was his mistress, Norma. She gave him the design, along with five children. He thought his ego would take no less. In the end, the knowledge that he had not really fulfilled his own image, that was what destroyed him." - God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert.

Review: Ruined
Ruined by Ruth Everhart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I need to confess - I don't like memoirs. However, his story is very well written and structured. Not a Christian myself, but the book is a great story regardless!

Review: Artemis
Artemis by Andy Weir
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was such an amazing book! I have read it in one go yesterday, the second it became available. There are so many characters and all of them are written with care and deeply nuanced. The world building is so interesting and researched meticulously, as well as a great nail-biting story that I was so invested in. It was very enjoyable and I will be re-reading it for sure.

The Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I listened to it in one sitting with no interruptions. The voice-work in the audiobook version is absolutely AMAZING. Looks like I have found another one of my 2017 favourites. I want to read the next one right now!

Review: Trans Mission: My Quest to a Beard
Trans Mission: My Quest to a Beard by Alex Bertie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
So excited for this, I want to read it already!
October 2017 Update: really sad that the audiobook version is no longer available, but I still bought both Kindle and Paperback versions.
Very happy to be able to read this, it was so good! Especially great that it is accessible to younger readers 14+, very useful indeed.
