The Book of the Unnamed Midwife by Meg Elison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Was able to re-listen in one day, on to book 2 I go!
P.S, Yes, still 5 STARS.
Re-reading this story again... because it is AMAZING!
This book is outstanding!
I already read Book 2 and am super excited for Book 3.
I have re-read it several times already and it gets better and better each time!

"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: The Long Winter
The Long Winter by Delenn Harper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Actual Rating 4.5 Stars
This was a really interesting read. As a Priestess of Goddess it is always lovely to see other Priestesses writing and inventing worlds filled with Goddess in all Her wondrous aspects. I really enjoyed how the real-time (present) Priestess of Avalon Training was blended into the story of this book, it felt at times like I was doing my Spiral 1 and Spiral 2 in Glastonbury again, so nostalgic! That kind of showing of lineage and continuity made it very evocative.
I really liked the set up of the world-building. It was quite immersive but felt rushed at times. There were some minimal typos and inconsistencies but they did not distract from the story. I am really happy that I have Book 2 already so I don't need to wait and can continue with the story straight away!

Review: All City
All City by Alex DiFrancesco
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What an amazing story! I was sceptical at first but the plot just carried me away into this amazingly well-realized world! The voice-acting in the audio version is great and adds a lot to the overall story.

Review: The Case for Christian Preparedness - Faith and Prepping for Survival
The Case for Christian Preparedness - Faith and Prepping for Survival by Forrest Garvin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Bought this for a friend. We were talking about prepping recently and knowing he is a Christian I wanted to gift him something that would support his religious views and be useful in this topic. I can not comment on any of the religious parts as I practice a different religion but the introduction to prepping despite being very basic is well written with good examples. If you would like a very brief intro into the topic, check out this book it might be just what you are looking for!

Interesting... will be continuing to Book 2. Bonus browny points for a POV character being a lot older than usually portrayed in the genre, great to see some positive representation here!

Review: Beacon Lights of History, Volume 01: The Old Pagan Civilizations
Beacon Lights of History, Volume 01: The Old Pagan Civilizations by John Lord
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
Actual Rating 0 Stars
I think this is my first 0 Stars of 2019!
Disgusting prejudice against the Old Gods as well as an immense example of Christian superiority complex, on a bright side, considering when it was first published, it is quite period accurate.
