Star Wars: The High Republic: The Rising Storm - Found at Big W.

Star Wars: Darth Plagueis & Star Wars Queen's Shadow - Bought from Amazon AU.

Oh ****, IT'S HAPPENING HERE TOO. WHY

I was able to get a bunch of Star Wars comics from a local seller on Marketplace, they are:

Darth Maul, Kanan vol. 1 & 2, Darth Vader: Dark Lord Of The Sith vol. 2-4, Poe Dameron vol. 1, Star Wars vol. 7-11, Darth Vader vol. 4, Doctor Aphra vol. 2-4, 6-7, Star Wars ongoing vol. 1and Darth Vader ongoing vol. 1.

I got them for a pretty good price as well.

As this is the 25th Anniversary year for Tomb Raider, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics(or at least the five people at CD who haven't been pressganged into trying to make Avengers break even) have posted for free on the Tomb Raider blog the three novels that came out when Angel of Darkness did: The Amulet of Power, The Bronze Men, and The Lost Cult.

And for the conspiracy minded among you, they picked the month my birthday falls in to be Angel of Darkness month, which is my favorite Tomb Raider game.

I also got the Judge Dredd/2000A.D. Humble Bundle, which at the time of writing is still available for the next 15 days or so. I can finally read The Day the Law Died and Apocalypse War and see how much the audio adaptations changed. Aside from the ending of Apocalypse War, at least.

Star Wars Vol. 2 (2020-), Doctor Aphra Vol. 1 (2020-) and Star Wars: Bounty Hunters Vol. 2 - I helped run a booth at Comic-Con and bought these while I was there.

Books this year... a bit pitiful and I'm trying to get back into the habit before excavating my digital and physical to-read piles. Last year I also got a bunch of audio books I haven't listened to any of through... it really didn't work at all despite enjoying what of This Much Is True (Miriam Margolyes) I heard whilst waiting for a car service. I need to find (possibly done) and set up (not done) an app to manage them and keep track of positions, because the Audible website is staggeringly shit and needs a third-party browser extension just to adjust volume.

A Life With Footnotes (Rob Wilkins) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0857526634/

Doubles as an interesting social history of the 80s and adjacent decades. It's also interesting for how unvarnished it comes across and how much of an arsehole Pratchett is at times. Some of which is possibly early unwelcome brain rewiring courtesy of the Alzheimer's, and a lot of the people he encounters seem to deserve it. There's also a lot to commend the guy, of course, in straight dealing and good causes, and it gives a lot of context to the later Discworld novels that were ones I didn't particularly enjoy apart from the Chalk arc where that narrative linearity is a plus.

Strong Female Character (Fern Brady) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1914240448/

Not short but a fluent and informationally dense read that's easily gotten through in an evening. Just as relevant to autism in men as women, and rings a fair number of bells. What I wasn't prepared for, having snagged the audiobook as well due to an Audible four-quid-a-month-for-four-months offer, was how affecting her narration is and how much difference is emphasised by snapping into her on-stage persona to illustrate people who are angry or objectionable.

Ashes to Admin (Evie King) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1915306302/

Just started. Discovered via RHLSTP (which I lost track/visibility of completely until Herring started putting clips on YouTube to signpost its new location) and features lots of cover quotes from comedians as the author is previously one and presumably has connections, but ended up in local government dealing with statutory funerals. Also involves conspicuous 80s/90s referencing.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Vol. 14 - From Amazon.

Star Wars: The High Republic: Path Of Vengeance,

Star Wars: Inquisitor: Rise Of The Red Blade,
