It’s been a better week for me, though I still have one more assignment to eke out. But I did manage some reading! Hurrah.
Books to review:
I’m going to assume Fair Chance is related to Fair Game and Fair Play, so, awesome. And Weird Dinosaurs, well, who wouldn’t want this one?
Books received:
Because my wife is awesome.
Books finished this week:
Reviews posted this week:
–Ultimate X-Men: World Tour, by Mark Millar et al. More enjoyable than the first two volumes, but still not doing much for me. 3/5 stars
–The Lost Child of Lychford, by Paul Cornell. If you enjoyed the first Lychford novella, you’ll probably enjoy this too. Judith continues to be completely badass. 3/5 stars
–Everything Belongs to the Future, by Laurie Penny. Enjoyable, but rather predictable, to me. 3/5 stars
–Rare Earth: Why Complex Life is Uncommon in the Universe, by Peter D. Ward and Donald Brownlee. A good survey of, well, pretty much what it says on the tin. 4/5 stars
–The Two Towers, by J.R.R. Tolkien. Do I have anything new to say about this one? Possibly not. 5/5 stars
–Flashback Friday: The Empty Kingdom, by Elizabeth E. Wein. The close of the series, which I’ve been re-posting my reviews of for the last few weeks. Greatly enjoyable. 4/5 stars
Other posts:
–On giving up, but positively. Why I’ve given up on my reading goals for 2016, and why that’s a good thing.
–Top Ten Tuesday: Best Places to Read. A departure from the given theme, forgive me.
How’s everyone else doing?
I’ve got dinosaurs on my blog today as well but in my case they are eating people! Well, you know me, I’m a traditionalist! Nothing beats a bit of dinosaur gore…Have a good reading week!

Hee, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that! I want more dinosaur books of all stripes!
I read Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire earlier this year and FELL IN LOVE with it. I’ve been wanting to pick up some more of her books, but I’m not sure where to start–do you have suggestions or recommendations?!
I LOVE that there seems to be a bit of an unplanned dinosaur theme happening this week on people’s blogs–it’s amusing! Sadly, I did not get the memo. XD
Here’s my Stacking the Shelves post this week, if you’re interested in checking it out. No pressure or worries if you’re not, though! Either way, happy book-ing; I hope you enjoy all your recent acquisitions! Have a great rest of your weekend! <3
Agreed! I really enjoy her October Daye series, starting with Rosemary & Rue. I don’t think I’ve read any of her other books as Seanan McGuire, but if the zombie apocalypse appeals, she also writes as Mira Grant, and I quite enjoyed Feed. Enough I have the other books, but haven’t read them yet.
Great week of new arrivals and finished books! It’s awesome that you’re so excited about the October Daye series, guess you’re really enjoying it!
I probably won’t buy more of the series now until I’m actually caught up, but I’m pretty sure I’m going to enjoy them!
