Reading Roundup Wrapup: August 2015

So far this new rotation thing seems to be working out! Maybe I will clear out my backlog of unreviewed books someday.

Pick of the month: Genius Loci by Ben Aaronovitch. This was a tough one, because both this book and volume one of The Complete Calvin and Hobbes were excellent. But I ended up siding with this book because of how new it felt-- whereas as good as Calvin and Hobbes is, I've read it before! Aaronovitch manages to capture of a lot of different facets of what it's like to enter into adulthood, combined with some compelling worldbuilding. No small achievement.
