I can’t say that I’m the biggest fan of Dan Browns work, but the fact that I continue to read it, says a lot. ‘Origin’ by Dan Brown – I’ve been following the Robert Langdon saga since my high school years. I’ve already set my eye on his second book – ‘ Artemis’, but ‘The Martian’ is a must read. I honestly almost couldn’t believe this is Andys first ever published novel and before it he was a software engineer (like me, yay!). I think this is a book anyone can enjoy, not just sci-fi fans. It’s funny, witty, empowering and easy to read while remaining plausible and scientific enough. I love the main character, I love the setting and I love the moral: just start somewhere, solve your problems one by one, move one stone, then move the next one and just don’t give up. I think the plot of the book is pretty obvious/famous, but I’ll sum it up in a few words: It’s about a smart ass botanist, who gets left for dead on Mars by accident and has to summon all of his knowledge, stubbornness and bad language to survive. It’s an odd animal in it’s genre, in a good way, and the same can be said about the book.It’s a rare thing for me to like the screen adaptation and the source material equally, but it happened. Despite the fact, that recent sci-fi movies have upped my expectations for the genre beyond the clouds, I can still honestly say that I love the movie. ‘The Martian’ by Andy Weir – This is one example of me breaking my rule of always reading the book before watching anything based on it, because I saw ‘The Martian’ the week it got on the big screen. Here are my short reviews/thoughts on them. This year I’ve upped my Goodreads reading challenge to 30 books and so far I’m keeping up just fine, partly because most of the books I’ve gone through so far were pretty good. Anyway, I figured it’s time to talk about another one of my passions – reading.

I’ve been pretty tired these past few weeks and kept makeup to the bare minimum plus the next palette I’ve planned to review deserves special attention.
I’m taking a small break from beauty related posts.
