Reading Roundup Wrapup: November 2020

Pick of the month: Kent State by Derf Backderf. My review is written but not yet published-- this was an effective, interesting, brutal entry into the genre of graphic nonfiction. My first Backderf but not my last!

All books read:
1. Doctor Who: Four Doctors by Paul Cornell, Neil Edwards, et al.
2. Star Trek: The Fall: Revelation and Dust by David R. George III
3. Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio by Derf Backderf
4. Star Trek: The Fall: The Crimson Shadow by Una McCormack
5. Star Trek: The Fall: A Ceremony of Losses by David Mack
6. Doctor Who: Adventures in Lockdown edited by Steve Cole
7. Doctor Who: The Turing Test by Paul Leonard
8. Star Trek: The Fall: The Poisoned Chalice by James Swallow
9. Weight by Jeanette Winterson
10. Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor, Vol 4: The Endless Song by Nick Abadzis, Eleonora Carlini, Elena Casagrande & Leonardo Romero
11. Star Trek: The Fall: Peaceable Kingdoms by Dayton Ward
12. The Iron Legion: Collected Comics from the Pages of Doctor Who Weekly by Dave Gibbons, Pat Mills & John Wagner, and Steve Moore
13. Dragon’s Claw: Collected Comics from the Pages of Doctor Who: A Marvel Monthly by Dave Gibbons, Steve Parkhouse, Steve Moore, et al.

Through a quirk of how my reading lists operate, this ended up being a very tie-in-heavy month: five Star Trek books and six Doctor Who ones! Four of the Doctor Who ones were comics, which I didn't mind so much, but five Star Trek novels in one month turned out to be too many. In my younger days, I would do that regularly, but this is the first time I've read five Star Trek novels in one month since February 2004, and it turns out I crave a more diverse reading palette now.

All books acquired:
1. Star Trek: Prometheus: Fire with Fire by Bernd Perplies and Christian Humberg
2. Doctor Who: Adventures in Lockdown edited by Steve Cole
3. The Impressions of Theophrastus Such by George Eliot

All books on "To be read" list: 654 (down 7!)
