Reading, June
Another attempt at monthly updates. I'm actually at a great reading mode this year. 75 books by the end of Junes, so I might even reach 140-150 by the end of the year. But that always depends on the reading, since some books take more time and effort than others.
66. P. N. Elrod (ed.): Hex Appeal and 67. Paula Guran (ed.): Vampires: The Recent Undead
Ok theme anthologies, with some better stories and some not-so-good stories.
68. Johanna Sinisalo: Auringon ydin
Mielenkiintoinen kertomus totalitaarisesta vaihtoehto-Suomesta, jossa chilit ovat kiellettyjä. Tykkäsin.
69. Jim Butcher: Working for Bigfoot
A collection of 4 short stories with Dresden doing jobs for a Bigfoot concerned about his son.
70. Kurtis J. Wiebe, Roc Upchurch & Stjepan Sejic: Rat Queens: Volume Two: The Far Reaching Tentacles of N'Rygoth (graphic novel)
I liked the first graphic novel, I liked this one as well. In this, the Lovecraftian creatures are made to attack the town, because of an old grudge against a member of the militia. Battle, relationships, lots of background info on the characters shown in flashbacks. Great fun.
71. N. K. Jemisin: The Killing Moon & 72. The Shadowed Sun
A nice duology, where dreaming is important. Wild dreamers can affect everyone around, but a priesthood struggles to keep control of dreaming and dreamers. At great cost to themselves.
73. Joëlle Jones & Jamie S. Rich: Lady Killer
Very stylish and fun comic series of five issues, that tells the story of a 1950s housewife who is also an assassin. The company starts to go against her, so she ends up going against her handlers.
74. Juri Nummelin (ed.): Kirotun kirjan vartija: suomalaisia Cthulhu-tarinoita
Varsin kiva kokoelma kotimaisia Cthulhu-tarinoita. Vaihdellen kauhiasta koomiseen, tässä kokoelmassa on saavutettu oikeanlainen hiljaa etenevän kauhun fiilis. Tykkäsin.
75. Charles Soule & Steve McNiven: The Uncanny Inhumans: Time Crush
I used to be a big Marvel fan, but nowadays I just check out some albums from the library every now and then. This is one of those.
I love the new Ms. Marvel and read all of her, and since there were mentions to the Inhumans and the Terrigen gas, I read this. It's an okay tale of the Black Bolt and Medusa working against a time manipulating villain to regain their son Ahura against all odds.
Ok story, I need more Kamala Khan. :)
