It’s been a while since I did one of these library trip roundups, but since we go every week and one of my goals is to post something to this blog every day, here’s a quick roundup of today’s trip to the library.
Fullmetal Alchemist Issues 10 – 27
Mrs. Vasicek has been reading the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series recently, and she decided to just go ahead and binge read all the rest of them. I haven’t read the original manga, but I have watched Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood twice, so we’re having a lot of fun talking about the story.
Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames
I heard about this one from Murphy Napier and Daniel Greene, a couple of booktubers that I follow closely, and it looks like a fun fantasy novel. No idea if I’ll get around to it before it’s due, but I thought I’d at least check it out.
The Light Brigade by Kameron Hurley
Saw this one while I was browsing through the shelves. Kameron Hurley is probably 180 degrees from me on the political spectrum, but she writes earnest and well thought out columns for Locus Magazine, and occasionally comes on as a guest to some of the podcasts I listen to, like ISBW. So when I saw this novel, I thought why the heck not? Might as well check it out and see how I like her writing.
Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty
I’ve been following Mur Lafferty’s podcasts off and on since I was a freshman in college, way back in 2006. She’s mentioned this novel a lot, so when I saw it on one of the featured shelves at the library, I thought I’d check it out and see what it’s about. Mrs. Vasicek read the first couple of pages out loud as we drove home in the car, and it sounds pretty interesting! A fairly dystopian world populated by clones.
