What needless brutality does Rivers of London have? I’ve read them all and its genuinely never occurred to me. ---

Ending of the first one, and the second made me think it’d continue that way in every book. ---

Not being able to buy myself a load of comics has slowed my reading down as I have to read stuff I already own?? So just two books read in January. ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/3X/f/4/f440e752bb3cfbf6ecf2d49fcc71b0f5fb56bafc.jpeg) ---

Ooh, **Silk** turned up in Marvel Champions and I haven’t read them at all yet. _Puts on wishlist_ ---

I’m a massive Silk fan (this was a reread for fanfic reference purposes). Her solo stuff is all pretty self-contained and don’t really require reading anything else to know what’s going on. I wouldn’t bother checking out her origins in Amazing Spider-Man as it’s bad enough that the writer apologised for it. Volumes 1 and 2 are basically the same run (all by Robbie Thompson), it’s just that it got restarted after 7 issues because of the Marvel-wide Secret Wars event, but that doesn’t affect the actual storyline in Silk. There’s also a Spider-Women crossover during volume 2 where it’s worth reading the other issues if you can. Volumes 3, 4, and 5 are different writers and just standalone miniseries. ---

![Monkey Business_ Crime Fiction Inspired by the Films of the Marx Brothers (2021)](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/3X/4/2/42f98cea0617a7ff10ae70143b1368738ecdf770.jpeg) I stumbled upon this and as a Marx Brothers fan and because it was such an odd idea I couldn’t resist it. Okay I’ve only read the first story so far and it was average. ---

were the contents written for the book, or did the editor pick existing stuff? ---

I started and finished **Storm Front** by Jim Butcher. Yesterday. I started _and finished_ it yesterday. It’s good. I’m not sure if this whole “contemporary wizard as a PI”-thing has legs, but it worked really well for one book at least. I wonder if there are more… (I joke, obviously. I’m going to check a few used bookstores for **Fool Moon** because apparently the series doesn’t “get good” until Book 3, but I enjoyed book 1 a fair bit) ---

As far as I can ascertain they are original to the anthology. Interestingly the same editor apparently has _The Beat of Black Wings: Crime Fiction Inspired by the Songs of Joni Mitchell._ ---

I like the Dresden Files a lot but the first book was a bit icky for me. Harry’s male gaze was hard to stomach sometimes, at least for me. Edit: It gets better though in that regard, much better. ---

Listening to Twelve Months at the moment. Seems to do a solid job of resetting the pieces and teasing the next story arc while being a solid entry in it’s own right. ---

Yes, I felt that Twelve Months was very much about resetting/ reestablishing Dresden’s world ready for a newer story arc. Not the most action packed novel in the series by some margin, but solid enough. ---

In a rare instance, I do not yet have the newest Dresden Files novel, though if my life weren’t as hectic as it is, I would have already had it and gotten it signed by Jim Butcher two weeks ago when he was at a local bookstore here. ☹ ---
