It’s been a bit of a spree week for me again, I’m afraid. I’m going to blame the heady feeling of getting paid for freelance work several times this week!
Bought
So excited to fiiiiinally have my hands on The Fifth Season. The Rights of the Reader was pretty interesting; I’ve been meaning to read it for a while. The Scott Lynch books were just because I didn’t have a physical copy of any of them, though I am intending a reread! The Lackey book is for a challenge to read a book published in the year I was born… The Kitty Norville books came as a bundle from The Works, always worth checking there for good deals like that.
Comics
Rat Queens… well, I wasn’t sure about the first volume, but I have been encouraged to try the second, so. I’ll try. The Wicked + The Divine was gorgeous in the first volume, so is probably just as stunning. And this issue of Ms Marvel is the one we’ve been waiting for, really: the team-up between Captain and Ms Marvel.
Library
A somewhat random grab bag of library stuff, really. I blame The Stainless Steel Rat on Ryan from SpecFic Junkie, of course, and Soul Music on Cardiff’s SF/F bookclub — I figured I’d read it even though I won’t make it to the meeting.
What’s everyone else been getting their hands on? Anything particularly exciting?
I read the first of the Kitty books a few years back and enjoyed it-but don’t remember much about it! I have the rest of the series though so I plan a massive series read at some point! Enjoy your books!
That sounds like fun! I’ve read some other Carrie Vaughn books (or, er, at least one?) so I’m looking forward to this.
The Fifth Season is one I’ll have to go out and grab myself – been looking forward to it. Scott Lynch is on my must read list, and I’ve got A Brother’s Price kicking around somewhere.
The Fifth Season is intriguing so far, though I’m not in love with it like I was the Inheritance Trilogy. Scott Lynch is definitely good, and A Brother’s Price was highly recommended…
You got some interesting books. Republic of Thieves has a great cover.

It does! I have to get round to reading it soon…
I hope you enjoy The Fifth Season as much as I did!
If I ever stop having so much work to do, I think I’ll get through it in one go! So far I’ve only managed to get to page 200.
Great haul! I’ve been wanting to check out the Wicked and the Divine series for a while. It sounds great.

I liked the first volume, and the art is gorgeous!
Great haul this week!

Wow! Great Haul. Hope you enjoy them.
