January
1. Silver Buster Book 1 – BUY
Silver Buster follows a British teen who bonds with a symbiote fleeing mercenary aliens. It’s a fast, fun light novel series with a strong tokusatsu and sci-fi action vibe. REVIEW.
2. How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps – BUY
This send-up of The Legend of Zelda is a book I return to whenever I’m looking for a good time. It’s one of the very few first-person books I genuinely enjoy. REVIEW.
February
3. The Alchemist – BUY
I love this book deeply. Its beauty and simplicity inspire me every time I listen to it. REVIEW.
4. Dragon School: First Flight – BUY
I checked this out to help a friend. I’m glad I did, but not because I liked it. It isn’t a bad book, but it isn’t very good either. REVIEW.
5. A Hero Born – Book 1 of Legends of the Condor Heroes – BUY
I listened to it and then waited a week or two, then I listened to it again 🙂 I might be getting co-opted. REVIEW.
March
6. The Living Shadow – BUY – READ FREE
The Shadow is a Pulp icon who heavily inspired Batman. Without him there would likely be no Red Panda either… REVIEW.
WIP
7. The Giant Chronicles: Tip of the Spear – BUY
Larry Whitaker worked on one of my favorite childhood movies: FernGully! REVIEW.
8. The Princess and the Goblin – BUY – READ FREE – LISTEN FREE
The first time I read it I was terrified and delighted. George MacDonald is a treasure. REVIEW.
