Time runs slowly nowadays. But at least we have some books to see it going by.

I've watched the second season of The Umbrella Academy and... the first one was like a summarized X-Men and this one is like light sci-fi. But it is fun for those weekend nights.

Giant Days vol. 13 arrived this morning. Apparently I preordered it on 12 February... so long ago that I'd forgotten! I love this series.

I finished John Allison's Giant Days vol.13 and now I've begun reading his Steeple.

I needed a cute distraction, so I'm reading Chi's Sweet Home.

I've been unwell and my brain can't cope with too many words so I'm reading a collection of short stories in Lumberjanes Campfire Songs (no LT touchstone available).

I read Lumberjanes vol.14 which was as much fun as ever, set at a fantastical USian summer camp with personified trauma, movie monsters, magic kittens, and friendship to the max!

Then I joined the mystery solving teens in Tackleford, in fictional England, for Bad Machinery: The Case of the Severed Alliance (no touchstone available yet).

Then I read the first two volumes of Heavy Vinyl, set in a record shop in late 1990s New Jersey.

>6 spiralsheep: Hope you're feeling better.

I'm finishing out September with a couple volumes of Kim & Kim.

I read Pulp by Ed Brubaker earlier in the month. It was a nice take on a modern Western.

Today I'm reading more Bad Machinery Vol. 9: The Case of the Missing Piece (and last night I read the hiatus comics so I appear to be reading Bad Machinery storyline by storyline but backwards from 10 through the hiatus comics to 9....

>8 Euryale: Yes, thank you, I'm up and about now (and have free prescription drugs - yay the NHS!).

>9 brianjungwi: Pulp looks good. I haven't read any Brubaker since he completed the Velvet series, but I do enjoy traditional comics stories about punching nazis.

I'm reading The Poacher' Son by Paul Doiron. So far I've only gotten through the author's note, but I intend to get into the actual novel today or tomorrow.
