Reading Wednesday :D?
Things I finished reading and need to tell you all about (and one I do!)
Bloodfellas, Carnets de thèse, Chronicles of Legion 1-3, Darkness Over Cannae, Dr Fate 1-4, D'un monde à l'autre (La Quête d'Ewilan, tome 1), Eagles of Rome 2 & 3, Fragile Things, L'arabe du futur 1, Le Jardin des silences, Loki:Agent of Asgard #1-17, Magnus Chase and the Sword of Asgard, Prince of Cats, Saints 1, Sandman Overture 1-6, Secret Wars 1-7 (still ongoing), Spider-Gwen v1 1-5, Spider-Gwen v2 001, The Infinite Loop 1, The Red Pyramid, The Spire 1-4, Toil and Trouble 1-3, Tumulte à Rome
1602: Witch Hunter Angela (#1-4, complete) by Stephanie Hans (art) and Marguerite Bennett and Kieron Gillen (writing): This is set on Battleworld, nominally, but it could also have been set on 1602, barring a handful of details (references to God-Emperor Doom, for example). I really enjoyed this! Stephanie Hans is on art, which means it's gorgeous. Rogue's presence in the book was an unexpected delight (such a delight! I love this Rogue so much). I loved the overall narrative and all the Shakespeare, but my favourite bit was the reworking of Cloak and Dagger's origin story so they become living stories. I loved that a lot. I wasn't familiar with Angela or Sera before I read this book, but I think I'm going to pick up more books with them in, now.
Things I am currently reading, inasmuch as I'm reading anything
Books on hiatus: The Art of War, The Kick-Ass Writer, La véritable histoire de Carthage et de Hannibal, Les Fleurs du Mal, Métronome, Rome's Revolution and The Grass-King's Concubine.
Still reading:
Ghosts of Cannae: Hannibal and the Darkest Hour of the Roman Republic, by Robert L. O’Connell
Trickster Makes This World, by Lewis Hyde
Romanitas, by Sophia McDougall
La quête d'Ewilan, Tome 2 : Les frontières de glace
Le lecteur de cadavre
And yuletide canon review for which I have lots of notes. I may or may not end up posting those after yuletide's done.
Things I plan to read next
More yuletide canon review. More fucking comics, let's face it. Maybe even something with words in!
Books that I have already: Pyramids of London, by Andrea K Höst, Prisoner (Echo's Wolf, Book 1) (Werewolf Marines 2) by Lia Silver, Taking Stock by Scott Bartlett, February by Lisa Moore, The Demigod Diaries by Rick Riordan, The Skull Throne, by Peter V. Brett, Hostage by Sherwood Smith and Rachel Manija Brown, Le Graal de l'Inframonde by Vanessa Callico and Diana Callico.
Books that are out and that I haven't got: Clariel: The Lost Abhorsen, by Garth Nix, Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie, Melting Stones and Battle Magic by Tamora Pierce, The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay, The Beginning Place by Ursula Le Guin, Seraphina by Rachel Hartman, The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex, the last two books of Kate Eliott's Spiritwalker trilogy, The Missing Queen by Samhita Arni, Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed, whatever's out of the Craft Sequence series, Chroniques du Pays des Mères by Elisabeth Vonarburg, Lord of the Two Lands by Judith Tarr, Fortunate Fall by Raphael Carter, Barbara Hambly's vampire series, Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho, The Sand-Reckoner by Gillian Bradshaw, The Idylls of the Queen by Phillys Ann Karr, Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman and The Good Fairies of New York by Martin Millar.
Books that aren't out yet (and when they're out): The Sleeping Life (Eferum, #2) by Andrea K. Höst (2015), Benjamin January #14 by Barbara Hambly (no idea), the Tris book by Tamora Pierce (2015), The House of Shattered Wings by Aliette de Bodard (caveat), Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer and whatever Jenny Dolfen's next project is.
Books what I'm not sure if I want to read them: City of Blades, by Robert Jackson Bennett: Still IDK.
No, wait, I am apparently missing a Fred Vargas between Un lieu incertain and Temps glaciaires. It's called L'Armée furieuse, so I think I'm gonna read that. (And then I'll read something else, most likely and to nobody's great surprise.)
