Good morning, all! I hope you had a good festive season, whatever you celebrate — or a nice week, if you don’t celebrate! I certainly did, and I’ve got a heck of a haul to share with you guys.
New fiction
I’ve been looking forward to some of these for quite a while, so I’m excited!
New non-fiction
Quite a stack, on all kinds of topics — but that’s me all over.
Comics
I’m interested to see what the new run of Captain Marvel is like! I did not like the direction they went with her for Civil War II etc, but this is a new volume one…
Books read this week:
Yeesh, I need to fit in some more fiction sometime soon!
Reviews posted:
–Three Stones Make A Wall, by Eric H. Cline. This was a really fascinating survey of a lot of different archaeological sites, which mostly pointed me at things I want to read more about. 5/5 stars
–The Intimate Bond, by Brian Fagan. An interesting account of how human lives have been entwined with those of animals, for a long time. 3/5 stars
–Murder in Montparnasse, by Kerry Greenwood. Better on a second reading, with a lot going on. 4/5 stars
Other posts:
–WWW Wednesday. Updates from the TBR pile this week.
That’s a good sized haul for sure! I hate New Year so I’ve got a whole night of reading lined up with lots of chocolate and a few favourite films on in the background! That’ll get my January Challenge off to a good start!

Haha, yeah, my family do Christmas pretty well! At least as far as books are concerned. Me and my wife are having a quiet New Year — just us, the bunnies and a movie.
Awesome haul! I really hope to read a Claire North book soon! I’ve heard good things! I hope you’ll enjoy all the books you got! Happy reading and have a wonderful New Year!

I’ve been following Claire North’s career for years now! I don’t always love her books, but they’re nearly always good fun. Thanks for dropping by, and I hope you have a good New Year too!
The Lost Plot looks cool. Enjoy your haul.
I’ve enjoyed the rest of the series! Thanks for dropping by. 🙂
I don’t always love Claire North’s books, so I’d be intrigued to know what you think of it! Enjoy your new books!

Yeah, I think she has some interesting ideas but they don’t always work out. We’ll see! Thanks for dropping by. 🙂
WOW, so many books! I love what a mix of everything that you got – fiction and non-fiction and comics. Runebinder has such a cool cover – I’m interested already. 😀 I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
Happy New Year, Nikki. =)
Check out my STS post!

I’m getting more eclectic in my old age, haha. Thanks for dropping by! Happy New Year to you too. 🙂
i didn’t care much for Spider Gwen and doubt I will continue. I grabbed Jade City a few weeks back for my Kindle. Glad to hear you had a great holiday. It was awesome here as well but now we’ve entered a cold snap with snow. I’m ready for spring!

Aw, I like Spider-Gwen, but Weapon of Choice won’t be my first TPB of it so I knew that already. 🙂 Here’s hoping Jade City is good!
What a haul! I didn’t quite manage to fit Jade City into my 2017 reading schedule, but it’s going to be top priority for 2018! Happy new year!
I need to get to it before too long too, I think!
Wowo, that’s a good number for nonfiction. I am aiming to read more nonfiction next year too 🙂
I hope you enjoy your new reads. Happy New Year!

I ended up reading non-fiction a lot this year, and I imagine next year will be the same — I’ve got to appreciate it more and more!
Great haul this week! I just started reading The Lost Plot and am enjoying it so far. I hope you enjoy all of your new books. Happy New Year!

I need to get to it, but I think I’ll reread the other books first for the fun of it! Thanks for dropping by, and Happy New Year!
