Sooo, Amsterdam happened! And so did many books. Also some awesome socks.
Books acquired
Though the last one is, of course, an ARC — Tor are as good to me as ever.
Books read this week:
Reviews posted this week:
–A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula Le Guin. This was mostly just a comfort read so I didn’t actually have much to say. I still love it with all its flaws. 5/5 stars
–The Poisoned Chocolates Case, by Anthony Berkeley. I add to a classic murder mystery in my review… 4/5 stars
–The Atrocities, by Jeremy C. Shipp. Some good atmosphere but ultimately I didn’t love it. 3/5 stars
–The Golden Age of Murder, by Martin Edwards. This book tries to do a lot, but it’s mostly successful and it made me really curious about Golden Age crime fiction I’d never even heard of. 4/5 stars
–A Long Day in Lychford, by Paul Cornell. I don’t love this series like some other people do, but this book did really manage to put its finger on some of the feelings in Britain around Brexit. 4/5 stars

How’s everyone doing? Delicious book hauls? Dying of the sudden warm weather, Europeans?
Ooh Amsterdam sounds amazing. Would love to go there sometime. And books! I love those British crime classic covers, they’re so amazing. I want them all just for the covers. And Crossroads of Canopy looks amazing too (clearly I have a cover problem)!

I do really like Amsterdam, though I mainly go for the chance to get at the American Book Center, hahaha.
Oooh I love the Out of Print socks! I keep wanting one of those tshirts, and forgetting to order them while I’m in the US…
I gave it and ripped through Revenant Gun this week 😀 AAAAAAAAAAAAH 😉 ….now to get back to City of Brass and Metronome, both of which I’m very excited about.

Don’t get me started on geeky t-shirts… I have a problem. XD
Looks like an amazing haul, and Amsterdam is so fun. Hope you had a great time. Have a wonderful weekend.

I did have fun, thanks!
Looks like a great haul. I’m seeing some good looking books. And I see you’ve read A Wizard of Earthsea. I love those books! I’m so sad I don’t own the books (I got them from the library in the past) but I plan on buying them all at some point.
It was a reread, yeah! I love that series to bits.
Those socks are awesome! Looks like you scored some great titles!
I did, I am almost jealous of myself. :p
Head On, yay! I just finished it a few days ago, it was so fun. Like all of Scalzi’s books, it was very entertaining and just hard to put down.It went quick. Also hope you had fun in Amsterdam!

I need to get to it ASAP! And I totally did. Bookstores and yarn shops, what’s not to love?
I’m liking those socks! I’ve seen a lot of fun message socks on the internet recently.
