Becky Chambers is one of my absolute favourite authors and I adore her books. Record of a Spaceborn Few was one of my most highly anticipated books of the year, and I must say that it did not disappoint.
I feel like I say this every month, but I cannot believe how quickly time is passing! April has absolutely flown by and spring is well underway.
