Hey everyone! I’ve been very good this week, and have nothing really new to report — just an ARC, and some titles from my pull list. I’m impressed by how long I’m keeping up my resolutions this year! How’s everyone else doing?
Review copy
I found the last book a little too predictable in theme, plot and character, so I’m hoping this breaks the mould a little. I have loved Maitland’s books, but I fear she may be stuck in a rut… One more chance, and then I’ll give her books a rest for a while. Still, excited to get the ARC!
Pull list
Working on a post to go up soon about my pull list, and how people lie when they say there’s no cool female superheroes… (Not, Marvel, that I’m saying there’s enough. Did you seriously put back the date of your Captain Marvel movie for Spider-man? Really? I’ve seen Spider-man. I need you to have the guts to give us a female superhero front and center. Black Widow would work too.)
And just to finish up, here’s a photo of the bunny in total relaxation, since I’m currently staying with her and my partner!
The first two books have a wonderful cover, it’s quite intriguing. Happy reading!
I’m excited about them. Thanks!
I’m pretty happy with progress at the moment. Over the last three weeks I’ve grabbed a lot of books I really wanted to read but for each one I bought I read or abandoned three so the pile keeps reducing and that keeps me happy! Good luck and enjoy your books!
Oooh, you are doing well! I don’t have the heart to abandon books too much; I figure if I was interested once, I might be in future… I should be more ruthless.
Aww – cute lil bunny! Nice haul, and congrats on keeping it low. The Girl at Midnight I’ve been seeing around a lot lately – I will probably have to give in to that temptation soon.
My STS this week
She’s adorable, isn’t she?
Yeah, I’d been seeing it around a lot, but I’d almost given up on being approved for the ARC!
I haven’t heard of any of these but I hope you enjoy them. Cute bunny.
Tsuki’s STS
Thanks! I’ll let the bunny know you said that…
Nice, you got some great books this week, and then I got to the bottom and saw the bunny pic and D’AWWWWWWW cuteness overload!
Yeaaaah, she’s adorable, and I’m waking up to that nuzzling me awake every morning at the moment! (Or jumping on my face, or bouncing on my bladder, but it’s hard to mind because she’s so cute.)
Spider Gwen and Thor both look interesting, but I’m so disconnected from the weekly comics world that I generally wait for the trade paperback collections and devour a storyline all at once.
Here’s how I’m Stacking the shelves
I’m pretty disconnected too, but I keep a pull list going because I want to encourage the female superheroes. And I did like following the latest Young Avengers run closely, because I couldn’t stand waiting to see if Billy and Teddy made it up…
I have bunny envy…
A Black Widow movie would be eggzellent!
I’m not supposed to buy books until Mount TBR drops below 186 books high: I’ve bought two books and Mount TBR is down from 214 to 208.
She is the sweetest bunny! But she has attacked Helen Hippo lately…
Yeaaaah, wouldn’t it just?
Hmmmmm. We can make that maths work somehow.
Oh man, I guess I should start doing reviews, because I read mostly female-led comics and, even though I do pick up a lot, I don’t even read *most* of the ones out there.
They exist! If some of them sound up your alley, support them! Sheesh, people.
Also, how *is* Spider-Gwen? I’m debating picking it up
Yeaaaah, I feel like I should start reviewing individual issues.
What a cute bunny! She looks so content. 🙂 The Girl at Midnight sounds interesting; the cover really captures my attention. Great haul!
She was being a veeeery happy bunny. Thanks!
Great haul! I love comics, they’re so fun to read. The Girl at Midnight sounds really awesome! I hope you have a great week and enjoy your books. 🙂
Krystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Thank you!
I love that cover of The Girl at Midnight! I hope you enjoy all these new books! 🙂
Stacking the Shelves – February: Blog || Youtube
It does look cool, doesn’t it? Thanks!
SUCH A CUTE BUNNY.
Also I’m kind of really annoyed about redoing Spider Man FOR THE THIRD TIME when they could do Captain Marvel, um, like…now. Or one of the 2 million other awesome superhero women out there. For goodness sakes why don’t they do Spider Woman? JUST FOR A CHANGE! *growls*
Thanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!
I was reading something about them maybe casting non-white for Spider-man, which would be cool, but… maaaan, I want Carol Danvers. Or, you’re right! Gwen Stacy or Jessica Drew or Anya Corazon oooorrr Cindy Moon.
Wow, what edition is that cover for The Girl At midnight? I love it! I too recieved that book and I’m interested to start it.
My Stacking the Shelves + Montly Recap here.
– Nova @ Out of Time
It’s just the cover they had loaded up on Netgalley — I’m not sure what edition it is! I’ve been hopeful about this book for a while, looking forward to it.
I haven’t heard anything about the two books. The Raven’s Head does look ominous.
Have a great week! Enjoy.
Yeah, there’s usually ominous stuff going on in Maitland’s books! Thanks for dropping by.
Nice haul! Love the bunny. I have a black one with gray and white mixed in. We call him Pepper. 🙂
Thanks! And heee, bunnies.
