I’m doing really well and not buying books at the moment! But that doesn’t stop me going to the library (dun dun dunnn) or picking up comics. Though honestly, I picked these issues up a couple of weeks ago and forgot to include them then, so I thought I’d drop them into this post.
Review copies
I haven’t actually read anything by Kate Elliott yet, so this seems like a good place to start! As for H is for Hawk, I keep getting curious about it, but not curious enough to buy it… and then lo and behold, I get it on Netgalley. I’m quite interested to get round to reading it ASAP.
Library fiction
Rachel Aaron and Adam Christopher have actually been on my TBR for ages, but that’s in ebook form, and sometimes I’m not in the mood for that. So I thought maybe getting from the library would kickstart me. As for the others, they come recommended by various people, and Emily of New Moon by my love of Anne of Green Gables, though I gather Emily’s a bit more saccharine than Anne.
Library non-fiction
I think a friend read Ladies of the Grand Tour recently, and The Galápagos has an obvious draw for me…
Comics (single issues)
Jessica Drew is awesome.
That’s it for me, and you may well add that that’s plenty for one person. What’s anyone else been getting their hands on?
Hey!(:
I ‘nominated’ you for an award!

Thank you for the nomination, I appreciate the gesture. Unfortunately, I don’t ever feel I know enough people to do the nomination phase or anything like that.
Yeah me too but somehow I end up still doing it.
But it’s okay if you don’t do it(: Just let me know if you change your mind 😉
I really like the covers for the Rachel Aaron series. I don’t remember seeing those books before so I’ll have to find out more about them to see if the plot appeals as much as the covers. Happy reading!
They are fantasy, so maybe not, if I remember your tastes rightly? But I’m reading the first one, and it is fun by my lights.
I’m curious about the Aaron books, I heard great things about them. happy reading!
They are fun so far! Thanks for dropping by.
Nice selection, Nikki. I agree with Chuckles, the Aaron covers are really good, and Starfish looks a little creepy.
I hope you’ll enjoy all your new books. Have a fantastic weekend.
It’s funny, people on GR don’t seem to like them, but I agree with you guys. And Starfish does look creepy — if I recall rightly, it’s set deep under the sea, which is kinda creepy just to start with.
Hope you had a good weekend too!
I’m very intrigued by Still Life! I hope you enjoy your new reads! 🙂
Mmm, I liked some aspects, but overall I wasn’t a big fan, sadly.
You have some books that I want… to read and steal! Kidding, don’t steal! :)) Happy reading!

Haha, I think the library would have some words for you if you did… Which ones are you interested in?
I’m in the same spot with Kate Elliott – I have at least 3 of her series on the TBR pile, but the ‘best of’ anthology will be my first taste. Curious to hear what you think of Peter Watts as well. Amazing author, but sometimes his stuff goes a bit over my head. 🙂
Here’s my Stacking the Shelves
Peter Watts has been on my radar for aaaages, since a group read of Blindsight, which is what I meant to read first. But this was in the library, so it might well come first. I don’t have any other Elliott on my TBR as such, but I have been curious about her work for ages.
Ooohh, most of these are new to me. I hope you enjoy them all!! 🙂
P.S. I love when people post comics, it just makes my day. <3
Thanks! And hee. Comics are awesome.
Awesome haul! I haven’t heard of any of these but thanks for bringing them to my attention. 🙂

Hope you like ’em if you try any of them.
I’m trying not to buy books too, but its so hard. Spirit Thief and Iron King are on my list too, so I hope they’re good.
I’m enjoying Spirit Thief so far, though I haven’t started the other!
Wonderful book this week – I’m super curious about a couple of your titles!! 🙂
My StS
Anything in particular? I’ve read a couple of ’em already!
That’s a pretty big haul! Awesome bunch of books.
Check out my STS
Thanks! I credit the library for being awesome…
I go on buying strikes too when I’m trying to catch up on my TBR pile. Great pile of books!
I’m trying so hard to be good! Thanks.
Ohhh, yay for Marvel!! I only just started reading comics and I LOVE them but my library has a really pitiful collection. >.> It’s very sad. But I’ll read what I can get my hands on. 😉
Thanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!
Oh, what’re your favourites so far? I only got into comics two years ago thanks to the Avengers film, but I think I’ve been swallowed whole now.
