Greetings from Canada! Though my WordPress scheduling still has stuff going up at my standard UK posting times, I am indeed far from home.
So the haul this week… I got The Long and Faraway Gone due to a giveaway Chris Holm did. <3 I hadn’t heard of it before, but I’m intrigued. And then, well… Canadian bookshops. Calgary is amazing.
And me and my partner jointly got Nimona. And she got Sex Criminals and Loki: Agent of Asgard. We share comics anyway; reminds me I need to lend her The Wicked + The Divine if I haven’t yet. And is the next TPB of that out?
Seriously; Shelf Life on 4th Street SW was okay, Indigo in the Core was great, but Fair’s Fair on 9th Avenue/8th Street was a paradise.
And here’s our weird Canadian encounter for the week: while stood at a bus stop with our bags of purchases, my partner and I noticed a guy walking towards us with a book in hand. Naturally we wondered what it was, but I didn’t let her ask (I’m too British). As he came up to us, he asked if we liked books. Partner said yes and showed him the bags as proof. He dropped his book into the bag and walked on before we even had chance to say thank you.
I’m not sure if I’m gonna read it, but I will keep it for the story of how I got it…
What’s everyone else been getting? Are you anywhere exciting this week?
Hope you are having fun in Canada! I’ve always wanted to visit but never had the money to do the trip properly! Enjoy your books as well!
I am indeed! So many bookshops, haha. My partner’s parents have been super nice, they’re pretty much paying for everything, so it doesn’t matter that I’m dirt poor.
Great haul this week, so many wonderful books. I have owned Aristotle and Dante for soooo long and still haven’t got to it, something I need to change as soon as I possibly can. I hope you enjoy all of your books 🙂 Here’s my STS.
I knooow, and I have some more for next week’s post as well. So exciting! Thanks for dropping by.
Nice haul! I have Lindskold and McHugh on my TBR shelf, and just picked up the paperback of The Thousand Names a couple of weeks ago.
Dinosaurs Without Bones looks interesting – I need to check that out for myself.
I haven’t been a big fan of McHugh in the past, but it’s a book club read, so I’m going to give her another chance. *crosses fingers* And my sister’s a big fan of The Thousand Names.
I’m excited about it! I love non-fic about dinosaurs, and don’t have nearly enough.
So many books! I’ve been pining for Aristotle and Dante for a long time now! I hope I could get the soon! Hahaha! Happy Reading!
I’ve been tempted, so when I saw it I was just like… why not?! Thanks for dropping by!
I hope you are liking Canada. It seems like you got a nice assortment of books this week. I hope you love all your new additions.

I am! The bookshops especially. *grin* Thanks for dropping by!
I have really enjoyed “Sex Criminals” so far. I read volumes 1 and 2. Happy reading!
Tsuki’s STS
It is fun, though very weird! Thanks for dropping by.
The Thousand Names!!! Love that book so much.
Good to know! My sister was going to lend me her copy, but I got impatient…
Great haul! I’ve wanted to read Aristotle and Dante for the longest time. Enjoy!

It looks like fun, doesn’t it? Thanks for dropping by!
Nimona! I love that webcomic and I really really need to actually go buy that.
I’m really interested to see what you think of Sex Criminals, I’m not sure what my opinions are on it.
All the other books look fantastic 😀
It is great, I’ve finished it already. Sad ending, though!
Sex Criminals… I don’t know what I think. It’s so weird.
Yeah, the ending wasn’t the HEA I wanted, but *sigh* she did draw quite a few happy canon AUs, so I guess I will be content with them.
Okay, I’m glad I’m not the only person who thought Sex Criminals was weird. Everyone else loved it, which is why I picked it up on the winter sale, but I was like ??? why am I reading this?
This is true!
I picked up the second volume for Lisa, but… yeah. Quite possibly too weird for me.
