#JanuaryBookHaul

Two paperback books side-by-side on a table. The books are books 3 and 4 from Colin Kapp’s “Cageworld” series.

All four books in Colin Kapp’s “Cageworld” series in matching paperback editions arranged side-by-side on a table.

📬 The other day I was watching an episode on #BookTube where the host mentioned the author, Colin Kapp.

I thought to check online and found the missing books in the same livery as my pair. In I swooped….

They turned out to be in better condition 🤗

A hardback edition of Asterix Albums 1-5 sat facing up on a table.

🧵 The Asterix is the first volume of ongoing collection, first published in 2022.

The second is coming in November 2025, so it appears there’ll be quite a delay between each publication.

I figured I’d use this first set to see how interested I am.

“The Adventures of TinTin” box set sat on a table.

“The Adventures of TinTin” box set stood upright on a table with the spines of each individual volume facing out.

A few volumes have been pulled out of “The Adventures of TinTin” box set. A couple are upside down off to the side, and “Cigars of the Pharaoh” is show in-between.

🧵 And so it came to pass with today’s #BookHaul.

I’m obviously a bit old for these now, but I’ve been having a bit of a nostalgia run by exploring ye olde #TextAdventures that I played as a youngster. So, I was curious enough to take a look again.

📬 Recently @tadethompson.bsky.social caught my eye when the topic of going to Mars came up, including some bonus recs.

I already have Morden’s “The Red Planet” but not @weinersmith.bsky.social and @zachweinersmith.bsky.social’s “A City on Mars”.

📬 Oops, how did this get here, @scifiscavenger.bsky.social? I think my finger may have slipped at some point!

Yes, it’s “The Promise of the Child” by @tomtoner.bsky.social, which I picked up after hearing about it over on the #BookTube tellybox show.

📬 As I was sorting today’s #BookHaul onto my shelves I was struck by having a bit of non-fiction in amongst it, which is unusual.

Nowadays these are shelved in my office because I don’t have space in my fiction-focused library 🫤

📬 And the final book in today’s #BookHaul is @caitlinstarling.com’s “Last to Leave the Room” which arrived here 🇬🇧 in November via @stmartinspress.bsky.social, but rapidly went out-of-stock!

Finally scored me a copy 🤗 It’s tall and floppy!

📬 I first heard @garethdennis.bsky.social chatting with @rostaylor.bsky.social on @bunkerpod.bsky.social back in September 2024.

His rapid-fire and deeply knowledgeable presentation was so interesting that I wishlisted his book.

No 🚅 📸 however!

📬 With today’s #BookHaul arrival of @kbwagers.com’s “And the Mighty Will Fall” I now have a complete “NeoG” set again. This latest novel arrived here 🇬🇧 this month.

Love the font styling of the most recent pair 😍

📬 Next out of today’s #BookHaul is Ursula K. Le Guin’s “The Lathe of Heaven” from @gollancz.bsky.social.

Recently @scifiscavenger.bsky.social and @kdsbooks.bsky.social were chatting about Le Guin and I butted in to mention my own struggle with “LHoD”

🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #JanuaryBookHaul 📦

📬 First out of today’s #BookHaul is “MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios” from @headlinebooks.bsky.social, which I first saw recommend by @dorianlynskey.bsky.social a couple of weeks ago.

More comics for McTavish in 2025 methinks! 🦹‍♂️

📬 Last out of my small package today are the “A Footstep Echo” pair by J.D. Sanderson.

I read “Enter the Syzygy” just before 🎄 and thoroughly enjoyed it. So I immediately added another SF tale from their oeuvre to my 🛒 for a subsequent haul.

🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #JanuaryBookHaul 📦

📬 Also new in today is @inknest.bsky.social’s “The Wingspan of Treason”!

I first wishlisted this chonky boi after watching @kayshiddenshelf.bsky.social talk about it on #BookTube.

Then hearing @lukewinch.bsky.social rave about it eased itself in 🛒

📬 Having watched @nssecretbookaholic.bsky.social talk frequently about @authorjla.bsky.social’s #TheEidynSaga over on her #BookTube 📺 show, I swooped on a set of the books from @orbitbooks.bsky.social which arrived this morning 😊

Paperback editions of Caitlin Starling’s “The Luminous Dead” and “The Death of Jane Lawrence” sat on a table.

📬 After reading and loving @cstarling.bsky.social’s “The Luminous Dead” back in November last year I added “The Death of Jane Lawrence” to my next #BookHaul, which just landed this morning.
