Reading Roundup Wrapup: November 2024

Pick of the month: Brothers In Arms by Lois McMaster Bujold. It seems a bit unfair to all other authors in a month where I read a Vorkosigan book, but there really is no competition. Still, I did read a lot of good stuff; Naomi Novik would have won it any other month!

All books read:

1. Star Trek: The Next Generation: Headlong Flight by Dayton Ward
2. Black Sun Rising: The Complete Doctor Who Back-Up Tales, Volume 2 by Mick Austin, Vincent Danks, Dave Gibbons, David Lloyd, Alan McKenzie, Mick McMahon, Steve Moore, Paul Neary, Steve Parkhouse, John Peel, Gary Russell, Geoff Senior, John Stokes, et al.
3. Monstrous Beauty: Collected comic strips from the pages of Doctor Who Magazine by Dan Abnett, Colin Andrew, Martin Geraghty, Scott Gray, Russ Leach, Paul Peart, Jacqueline Rayner, Gareth Roberts, John Ross, and Brian Williamson
4. Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
5. Brothers In Arms by Lois McMaster Bujold
6. Star Trek: Titan: Fortune of War by David Mack
7. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Asylum by Una McCormack
8. Victory of Eagles: Book Five of Temeraire by Naomi Novik
9. Doctor Who and the Loch Ness Monster by Terrance Dicks
10. Legion of Super-Heroes Archives, Volume 1 by Otto Binder, Al Plastino, Jerry Siegel, John Forte, et al.

I had a bit of a slow start; two-thirds of the way through and I'd just read four books this month. But then Thanksgiving Break came along (plus some shorter book) and I made up lost ground.

All books acquired:

1. Monstrous Beauty: Collected comic strips from the pages of Doctor Who Magazine by Dan Abnett, Colin Andrew, Martin Geraghty, Scott Gray, Russ Leach, Paul Peart, Jacqueline Rayner, Gareth Roberts, John Ross, and Brian Williamson
2. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Asylum by Una McCormack
3. Legion of Super-Heroes Archives, Volume 9 by Win Mortimer, Jack Abel, Jim Shooter, et al.
4. Victory of Eagles: Book Five of Temeraire by Naomi Novik
5. Steering the Craft: A Twenty-First-Century Guide to Sailing the Sea of Story by Ursula K. Le Guin
6. The Fantastic Four Omnibus, Volume 5 by Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway, John Buscema, Rich Buckler, et al.
