dhampyresaThings I finished reading and need to tell you all about (and one I do!)
Carnets de thèse, Chronicles of Legion 1-3, Darkness Over Cannae, Dr Fate 1-4, D'un monde à l'autre (La Quête d'Ewilan, tome 1), Eagles of Rome 2 & 3, Fragile Things, L'arabe du futur 1, Le Jardin des silences, Loki:Agent of Asgard #1-17, Magnus Chase and the Sword of Asgard, Prince of Cats, Saints 1, Sandman Overture 1-6, Secret Wars 1-7 (still ongoing), Spider-Gwen v1 1-5, Spider-Gwen v2 001, The Infinite Loop 1, The Red Pyramid, The Spire 1-4, Toil and Trouble 1-3, Tumulte à Rome
(Also, Fragile Things sould have been on the above list a couple weeks ago, oops.)
Bloodfellas, by Jaspre Bark (writer) and Mick Trimble (artist): This is a set of connecting stories involving angels, demons and the zombie mafia. I was pleasantly surprised to see the use of voodoo/hoodoo in a big part of the narrative, since that's pretty rare in zombie stories. The story was entertaining, but the art wasn't really my thing. Not especially memorable.
Things I am currently reading, inasmuch as I'm reading anything
Books on hiatus: The Art of War, The Kick-Ass Writer, La véritable histoire de Carthage et de Hannibal, Les Fleurs du Mal, Métronome, Rome's Revolution and The Grass-King's Concubine.
Still reading:
Ghosts of Cannae: Hannibal and the Darkest Hour of the Roman Republic, by Robert L. O’Connell
Trickster Makes This World, by Lewis Hyde
Romanitas, by Sophia McDougall
La quête d'Ewilan, Tome 2 : Les frontières de glace, by Pierre Bottero
Le lecteur de cadavre, by Antonio Garrido

I've decided I would start![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
paris_novel_walks by (re)reading Pars vite et reviens tard (published in English as Have Mercy on Us All) for the sake of (a) blasting through Temps Glaciaires and (b) people at home being able to play along. It's about PLAGUE MURDERS in Paris. The Adamsberg books are contemporary detective stories that weave in historical events and/or legends; it's great.
