New on the Library Shelves 07 12 14

AKA Showcase Sunday

Inspired by Pop Culture Junkie and the Story Siren, the aim of Showcase Sunday is to highlight our newest books or book related swag and to see what everyone else received for review, borrowed from libraries, bought in bookshops and downloaded onto eReaders each week.

Hello all! How was your week? Last night was the Fete des Lumières (or Festival of Lights) here in Lyon. A huge event that brings people from all over the world, with some pretty amazing light shows using the beautiful architecture of this city. I'll try and share some photos tomorrow.

In terms of books read, received and bought this month, looking forward to getting to the two graphic novels I received from Netgalley, as well as delving into the All Souls Trilogy after the third book won at the Goodreads Choice Awards.

Read:

New Rules (Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10 Volume 1) by Christos Gage
A nice start to the new season, with some old friends and some movement in long term story lines.

Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz
A great addition to the Sherlock Holmes canon with two interesting characters and a fantastic twist ending.

The Midas Touch (Green Arrow New 52 Volume 1) by Dan Jurgens
A 'meh' graphic novel, never really caught my attention. If you like Green Arrow, you're better off with the TV series.
