Due to freezing cold weather and a rational fear of the flu, I didn’t do a ton outside of my apartment in January. Because of this, I somehow read 22 books in one month??
Okay, it was 9 Comics, 2 Novellas, 2 Short Story Collections, 1 Memoir, 1 Collection of Essays, and 7 novels (2 of which were ARCs):
Children of the New World by Alexander Weinstein (5/5 Moose – short stories, similar to a Black Mirror vibe.
4 Kids Walk Into a Bank by Matthew Rosenberg (5/5 Moose – 5 issue/1 trade comic series)
Saga Volume 8 by Brian K Vaughan (5/5 Moose – comic series)
Restless by William Boyd (5/5 Moose….probably a generous rating thinking back on it. Read for JBC Podcast)
Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier (5/5 Moose. Read for Fableulous Retellings)
Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay (4/5 Moose – fabulous as an audiobook)
