Book Review: Astroquizzical – Dr Jillian Scudder

This book is perfect for people with an interest in space at all scales. It’s an ideal first adult science book for a teenager, a college student thinking about taking astronomy 101 and needing a grounding, or for any adult wanting to find out what parts of the Universe whets their appetite the most without being overwhelmed by numbers.

This book is perfect for the science and tech fan with an interest in history and a taste for humorous prose and asides, and works as a gift book.

Book Review: Good Omens – Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman

This is less a comprehensive book review, and more a book opinion. My tastes will differ greatly from yours, and may even change over time.

Book Review: The Ice House – Tim Clare

I’d recommend this book for readers with an eye for detail searching for a new world of character-driven fantasy that doesn’t lean on faux-medieval and/or Tolkien tropes. The book has plenty of action and mystery elements, but feels very much at its core about love, longing and sacrifice in all its forms. I’d urge you to read the equally good The Honours first to get the fullest enjoyment from The Ice House.

Book Review: The Falling Woman – Pat Murphy

This book was recommended to me by a best mate who, like all best mates do, knows me ridiculously well. She said “I know you’ll like the premise, but I’m interested to hear what you think about the rest of the book.”
