So I’m running quite behind because Dune is a gigantic book. I’ve actually finished it which is quite good progress considering how big it is! Plus the book required concentration so I couldn’t read it when I was drifting off to sleep, or I would have had no clue what was going on.
I enjoyed Dune. It’s actually the first book off of the BBC Good Book List which I’ve read this year that I would have picked out myself. Not that I haven’t enjoyed the other books, and would have chosen them retrospectively, but Dune is the kind of book I normally read. Probably why I got through it so quickly.
Frank Herbert did such an amazing job with Dune. He created a whole world with it’s own ecology, own religion, own political system. Everything had such detail it was amazing. And it was interesting how the Fremen had adapted to living in such a harsh environment; a blend of cave-age living and futuristic technology. There was so much detail included which didn’t have any relevance to the plot but made the world seem so much more real. This definitely deserved to be on the Good Book List.
Although I am now running behind, it’s not too bad because I am off for two weeks at Christmas. I can catch up with my last two books then. Also potentially the rest of the Dune series! What else better to do at Christmas than sit around eating, with hot chocolate, and reading. Obviously got to watch Love Actually and Elf at some point but other than that, reading galore.

Expressive Watercolor Illustrations by Dusan Djukaric
Serbian artist Dusan Djukaric paints aesthetically sublime cityscape and landscape in watercolour washes.
With the use of soft pastel hues, he illustrates each piece using a delicate brushstroke, artworks that speak of the untold tales of the cities and its people. Djukaric effortlessly depicts European cities in a dreamy light, urging the wanderlust enthusiasts in us to pack our bags and head out for a journey into the unknown. His illustrations evoke a sense of calm and serenity in the viewers, forging a connection between the artworks and the audience almost immediately. The artist’s efforts to capture the urban beauty of the cities is commendable, each composition allowing us to teleport to the idyllic scene, created using simple silhouettes. The expressive illustrations also resonate a sense of void in us, as we watch the blurred lines and immerse in the muted tones.
