Ringworld by Larry Niven

⭐⭐⭐💫 

 The Ringworld is a great concept, ancient mega structure hundreds of lightyears from earth. An expedition is sent to find what it is and who built it. Good world building, interesting and intriguing. Lots of physics. Characters, two aliens (great concepts both) and two humans, man and woman, who felt like cardboard. The woman an object and kind of dumb. Anyway, enjoyable read if you don't mind bad female characters.

Breath. The New Science Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor.

👍👍👍👍👍🫁 A wonderful read. Everything about breathing ordinary people, like you and me, need to know. From how bad mouth-breathing is to skull shape, orthodontics and chewing habits. Oh and how praying can help to achieve the claiming, relaxing, healthier, optimum breathing. A reading I'd recommend to everyone.

Velvet by Ed Brubaker, Steve Epsting and Elizabeth Breitweiser.

Beautiful, action-packed, gripping spy story. Second Brubaker story that I read and I want more. The story is superb, and the main character, Velvet, a forty something woman spy, is tops. I loved the art and in particular the colours (those dark purple night colours!). Loved the noir atmosphere and the Cold War, spy setting.
