Reading Roundup Wrapup: September 2023

Pick of the month: What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher. Other than Nettle and Bone (also by T. Kingfisher), this was my favorite book I read for the Hugo Awards this year. A neat, funny, interesting novella about gender roles and fungus... what more can you want?

All books read:

1. Cyberpunk 2077: Big City Dreams by Bartosz Sztybor, Alessio Fioriniello, and Filipe Andrade
2. Saga, Volume Ten by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples
3. Sword & Citadel: the second half of The Book of the New Sun: The Sword of the Lictor and The Citadel of the Autarch by Gene Wolfe
4. Osmo Unknown and the Eightpenny Woods by Catherynne M. Valente
5. Dune: The Official Movie Graphic Novel by Lilah Sturges and Drew Johnson

7. The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
8. What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher
9. Justice Society of America: A Celebration of 75 Years edited by Rachel Pinnelas
10. Buffalito World Outreach Project: 30 Translations of “Buffalo Dogs” by Lawrence M. Schoen
11. The Privilege of the Happy Ending: small/medium/large stories by Kij Johnson 

A solid, if not very high month. I did read a lot, but much of it was short fiction for the Hugos (four short stories and four novelettes) that don't appear in my reading stats because they aren't books.
