The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway — Una McCormack
I’ve been looking forward to reading this for quite some time now but just haven’t gotten around to it until now. And i’m glad i finally did.
Admittedly, this book will only be for those of us who totally loved Star Trek Voyager and it’s brilliant captain and crew. If you do fall into this niche market and you haven’t yet read this book, then please do so, i can’t imaging anyone who loved the series would be disappointed with this lovely book.
My only gripe, is that we had to wait for so long for it to be written and published. I would have loved to have read this before, during and after the series, it would have been a wonderful companion for every viewer.
But, it is what it is, and it was wonderful to be taken back in time to relive a few memories of the series, and also to find out lots more about Kathryn and her life before and after.
And i just found The Autobiography of Jean-Luc Picard, and it certainly won’t be long before i read that.

Tales from the Cafe — Toshikazu Kawaguchi
I soooo enjoyed Before the Coffee Gets Cold so i was really looking forward to some more tales.
And i wasn’t disappointed.
One thing that really stood out in this book was that all the niggly little questions that the first book raised got answered along the way: i won’t say what as it may spoil things. So it was rather good that as i started the book and i had questions in my mind that as i went along all the questions got dealt with. I imagine that Toshikazu had quite a few people asking these questions after reading the first book and it’s good to see that they all got answered.
Other than that, it’s pretty much more of the same as the first book whereby we have four people wanting to travel in time to make something right with someone. We also get to know the cafe staff and regulars a lot more along the way.
So yeah, great sequel and i really hope that Toshikazu thinks up a few more in the future and keeps the cafe going: it really is a good stage within which to fit stories into.
I continue to add my gripe from the first book, in that, there’s a cat on the cover but no cat in the book whatsoever. Toshikazu, if you ever read this, please put a cat in the next book.
