Reading Update
Hawkeye 1: My Life As A Weapon by Matt Fraction. Reread.
Hawkeye 2: Little Hits by Matt Fraction. It’s really hard to be Clint Barton.
Hawkeye 3: LA Woman by Matt Fraction. Not a fan of Kate Bishop, but in the interest of reading the entire story arc…
Hawkeye 4: Rio Bravo by Matt Fraction. Is the narrative kind of incoherent or is it me? Hmm.

Reading Update
The Labyrinth Index (Laundry Files #9) by Charles Stross. Ack. These are so complex now that I almost need to reread the entire series when each new book comes out. Mental note to do that before the next one… This one was mainly from Mhari’s POV after the shocking developments of book 8 have had a chance to sink in a little bit.
