A Broken Vessel (Julian Kestrel Mysteries, #2) Ross, Kate
Moar Regency murder mystery? Moar Regency murder mystery!
Sally Stokes, a bold and bewitching Cockney prostitute, picks up three men one after the other and nicknames them Bristles, Blue Eyes, and Blinkers. From each of them Sally steals a handkerchief--and from one she mistakenly steals a letter that contains an urgent plea for help from a distraught young woman.
Luckily, Sally's brother is none other than Dipper, reformed pickpocket and valet to gifted amateur sleuth Julian Kestrel. After the writer of the letter is found dead, the authorities dismiss her death as suicide. But to Kestrel it looks like murder, and he forms an unlikely--but highly entertaining--alliance with Sally to track down the three clients. The two embark on a quest that leads them from a house of reclamation for fallen women to the abodes of England's highest-ranking families as they race to unmask a dangerous killer.

Ms. Marvel, Vol. 2: Generation Why Wilson, G. Willow
Who is the Inventor, and what does he want with the all-new Ms. Marvel and all her friends? Maybe Wolverine can help! Kamala may be fan-girling out when her favorite (okay maybe Top Five) super hero shows up, but that won't stop her from protecting her hometown. Then, Kamala crosses paths with Inhumanity for the first time - by meeting the royal dog, Lockjaw! Every girl wants a puppy, but this one may be too much of a handful, even for a super hero with embiggening powers. But why is Lockjaw really with Kamala? As Ms. Marvel discovers more about her past, the Inventor continues to threaten her future. The fan-favorite, critically acclaimed, amazing new series continues as Kamala Khan proves why she's the best (and most adorable) new super hero there is!
PRECIOUS BEYOND THE DREAMS OF MORTAL MEN. I <3 Kamala Khan so much.

Captain Marvel, Vol. 2: Stay Fly DeConnick, Kelly Sue *
Captain Marvel’s space adventure with her pet cat, Chewie, continues! But when they have an unexpected alien visitor, Carol learns that Rocket Raccoon was right: There’s more to Chewie than meets the eye! Chewie is a Flerkin…and a mom to hundreds! Is this the end for Carol and her pet? Then, Carol has her hands full with a special guest-star from the X-Universe: rock and roll maven Lila Cheney! And Christmas comes to the Carol Corps as we celebrate 100 issues and nearly 50 years of Carol Danvers’ high-flying adventures!
But after tracking Captain Marvel and Tic for weeks, the Haffensye Consortium has finally caught up to them both! Carol was barely able to survive the last time she squared off against the Haffensye - will the astronomical Avenger be so lucky again?
There are at least two Captain Marvel series done by Marvel NOW - this is the one without the dinosaur punchings and time travel and cancer, I think. This IS the fluffier one with GOTG and space adventures! Including the many many not-cats featured in the cover art :3
Lord of the White Hell (Lord of the White Hell, #2) Hale, Ginn *
Part two of the interlibrary-loaned series about the land on the edgeo f the industrial revolution and our son of a candy magnate protag at culturally unfriendly boarding school. And also pining. Shit goes DOWN in book two. Totally dug it. Reading the sequel series where our protag couple get a sizeable cameo appearance now!

When Gods Die (Sebastian St. Cyr #2) Harris, C.S. *
Brighton, England, 1811. The beautiful wife of an aging Marquis is found dead in the arms of the Prince Regent. Draped around her neck lies an ancient necklace with mythic origins-and mysterious ties to Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin. Haunted by his past, Sebastian investigates both the Marchioness's death and his own possible connection to it-and discovers a complex pattern of lies and subterfuge. With the aid of his lover, Kat Boleyn, and a former street urchin now under his protection, Sebastian edges closer to the killer. And when one murder follows another, he confronts a conspiracy that threatens his own identity...and imperils the monarchy itself.
I think the Sebastian St. Cyr books maaaay be more my jam than the Julian Kestrel books but it's not like it's really a CONTEST. The more regency mystery, the more I win. And guys, this was SO MY JAM. Not trope-wise, really. But writing-wise? SO EASY, SO COMPELLING.

Dragon Age: The World of Thedas Volume 1 Gaider, David
I totally thought this would be more of a concept art/ behind the scenes book! It's more like the dragon age wiki and codicies turned up to 11 with bonus artses. I really enjoyed spotting what I could think of as forshaddowing for DAI and I'm totlaly interlibrary-loaning volume two when its a bit less new and the request will be allowed.

Champion of the Scarlet Wolf Book One (Champion of the Scarlet Wolf, #1; Cadeleonian Series, #3) Hale, Ginn * 4.35
Five years after abandoning the Sagrada Acedemy (Lord of the White Hell universe), Elezar Grunito has become infamous in the sanctified circles of noble dueling rings for his brutal temper and lethal blade. Men and women of all ranks gather to cheer and jeer, none of them knowing Elezar’s true purpose. But a violent death outside the ring marks Elezar as a wanted man and sends him into hiding in the far northern wilds of Labara.
There, creatures of myth and witchcraft-long since driven from Cadeleon-lurk in dark woods and prowl the winding streets. Soldiers and priests alike fear the return of witch-queens and even demons. Elezar soon learns that magic takes many forms, some too alluring to resist, others too terrible to endure. But just as he begins to find his place in this strange new country, the past he left behind along with his school days returns to challenge him once again.
I read this in one night and stayed up MUCH TOO LATE. it's hard to judge with ebooks sometimes, but I think this one would have been a 500 pager if it were a book-book. And still one more to read! Dueling and political intrigue and trolls and shapeshifter witches and demons and secrets and the underside city society, yay!
Maisie Dobbs (Maisie Dobbs, #1) Winspear, Jacqueline * 3.91
Maisie Dobbs isn’t just any young housemaid. Through her own natural intelligence-and the patronage of her benevolent employers-she works her way into college at Cambridge. When World War I breaks out, Maisie goes to the front as a nurse. It is there that she learns that coincidences are meaningful and the truth elusive. After the War, Maisie sets up on her own as a private investigator. But her very first assignment, seemingly an ordinary infidelity case, soon reveals a much deeper, darker web of secrets, which will force Maisie to revisit the horrors of the Great War and the love she left behind.
This was far more historical fiction than I expected, though it IS about a private investigator in the twenties, it is also heavily about WWI and its aftermath. Jeeves and Wooster this is not. I respect it, and read it readily, but UNEXPECTED.
