Reading Roundup Wrapup: February 2024

Pick of the month: The Runaway in Oz by John R. Neill. Tough month to pick—I didn't read much that was bad but I wouldn't describe much of what I read as standout, either. But I did enjoy this John R. Neill Oz book, a fun adventure story featuring my favorite recurring Oz character.

All books read:

1. The Shadow Speaker by Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu
2. Monsters Unleashed! by Cullen Bunn, Steven McNiven, Greg Land, Leinil Francis Yu, Salvador Larroca, Adam Kubert, et al.
3. Monsters Unleashed!: Monster Mash by Cullen Bunn, David Baldeón, and Ramón Bachs
4. The Runaway in Oz by John R. Neill, edited and illustrated by Eric Shanower
5. The Kingdoms by Natasha Pulley
6. Monsters Unleashed!: Learning Curve by Cullen Bunn, Justin Jordan, Andrea Broccardo, et al.
7. Elsa Bloodstone: Bequest by Cath Lauria
8. Black Panther: A Cultural Exploration by Ytasha L. Womack 

A little low, but I've been making slow but steady progress through two very long books, both of which I think I will finish in March.
