Vision In Blue

Cutting it a bit fine for May new titles... way too many for me to keep up to date with! Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. by Marc Guggenheim & Mike Norton 9781846537226 Any list I make wouldn't be complete without a graphic novel on it. This month I've picked this Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. one, mainly because every girl wants Agent Coulson in her life! This one features Tony Stark joining the team for a top secret mission. The Autobiography Of James T Kirk by David A Goodman 9781783297481 You all know I'm a Star Trek nut so of course this was going to get into the listing... but I have to object to the first line of this one's description. "The Autobiography of James T. Kirk chronicles the greatest Starfleet captain's life"... Erm no, Jean-Luc has that title. But I'm not going to turn my nose up at this one because of that inaccuracy! Breaker by Kat Ellis 9780762459087 After the execution of the serial killer, Bonebreaker, his son Kyle has a...

April's new titles have changed a bit in the last week. First I picked my favourites out of the buyer's notes, then I put them all in the page and put their descriptions... but going back over them and reading a longer description I came to realise how truly misleading buyer's notes are! You only have one or two lines to go off so they should entice you and give you a good idea of what the book is... yes? No... I deleted about five titles and pondered a couple of others after realising that actually the two different descriptions did not lead me in the same direction at all. So here, after much deliberation are my... oh lord, sorry... 23 picks for April! --- The Art Of Not Breathing by Sarah Alexander 9781474903066 When Elsie is underwater the pain eases. Her twin brother disappeared five years ago and hasn't been seen since. Underwater Elsie has flashbacks to times when her family wasn't dissolving, flashbacks that might lead her to answers. I'm no...

March has proved to be a good month for choices, I'm very super heavy... sorry... not sorry! Ace of Spiders by Stefan Mohamed 9781784630676 Stanly is frustrated. Having set himself up as London's protector, he's finding that the everyday practicalities of superheroism are challenging at best, and downright tedious at worst. So it's almost a relief when an attempt is made on his life and Stanly finds himself rushing headlong into a twisted adventure, with enemies new and old coming out of the woodwork. However, even with his friends and his ever-increasing power behind him, he may have bitten off more than he can chew this time. The monsters are coming ...and nothing will ever be the same! Yet another book where I've missed the first one in the series. Stanly turned sixteen and gained telekinesis and the ability to fly, but by the description of this second book, that hasn't gone quite his way. You know me and superhero stories, I can't resist. This...
