Reading Roundup Wrapup: December 2020

Pick of the month: The Then and the Now by Si Spurrier & Rob Williams, Simon Fraser, and Warren Pleece. This is one of those months where I read a lot of decent-to-good stuff, but nothing that was standout excellent, and so picking this was a struggle. But I did quite enjoy this, yet another installment of probably the best Doctor Who comic book.

All books read:
1. Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor, Vol 4: The Then and the Now by Si Spurrier & Rob Williams, Simon Fraser, and Warren Pleece
2. The Transformers Classics UK, Volume One by Simon Furman, et al.
3. The Well of Ascension: Book Two of Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
4. Superman vs. Wonder Woman: An Untold Epic of World War Two by Gerry Conway, Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, and Dan Adkins
5. Immortality, Inc.: Renegade Science, Silicon Valley Billions, and the Quest to Live Forever by Chip Walter
6. The Tides of Time: The Complete Fifth Doctor Comic Strips from the Pages of Doctor Who Monthly by Dave Gibbons, Steve Parkhouse, Mick Austin, Steve Dillon, et al.

Bit of a low month for me in terms of numbers of books. But one was a Brando Sando novel, and I am about 150 pages away from finishing a Charles Dickens novel as I type this the morning of the 31st, so in terms of numbers of pages read, I am probably doing quite well. (Perhaps-- I guess four of my six were comic books, which might negate that.) And what might be happening around here that would give me less time to read? Nothing at all!

All books acquired:
1. Doctor Who: Twelve Angels Weeping by Dave Rudden
2. Superman vs. Wonder Woman: An Untold Epic of World War Two by Gerry Conway, Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, and Dan Adkins
3. Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Light Fantastic by Jeffrey Lang
4. Star Trek: Prometheus: The Root of All Rage by Bernd Perplies and Christian Humberg
5. The Man with the Golden Gun by Ian Fleming
6. JSA: Ragnarok by Paul Kupperberg
7. Cease & Desist: Inspired by the Music of They Might Be Giants, as illustrated by Todd Alcott
8. The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie
9. Annals of the Western Shore: Gifts / Voices / Powers by Ursula K. Le Guin
10. Ground Zero: Collected Comic Strips from the pages of Doctor Who Magazine by Scott Gray, Martin Geraghty, Alan Barnes, Gareth Roberts, Adrian Salmon, et al.
11. Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch
12. The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms: Book One of the Inheritance Trilogy by N. K. Jemisin

As always, December is a month where I take in a number of books, though surprisingly only the last five on this list were Christmas presents.

All books on "To be read" list: 662 (up 8)
