Finished Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.

I didn't realise second half will also feature Iran and the life after revolution. A very interesting look at part of recent history I knew nothing about. Highly recommended if you don't mind graphic novels and memoirs.

Also read Old Man's War by John Scalzi.

This is my second book by Scalzi and he is reaching status of my favourite author. It's an easy to read space, military sci-fi. Another highly recommended book for sci-fi fans.

I’m really digging it so far, I’m about 75% through. It’s definitely a romance, but not on the smuttiness level of Ice Planet Barbarians because there is a lot more story and world building.

It’s a book I’ll be recommending to a male friend who is trying to read more female authors because I think he would like it. If you read it, I hope you enjoy it too!
