I read lots of fun & interesting new things: lots of comic/graphic novel goodness, & Judy Corbalis is a hoot! F. Paul Wilson was solid, old-school sf, & time was, I would've been thrilled to pieces that there were two women characters with some agency. It's a solid story, but I disliked the way the women were sidelined. The bar's been raised a lot over the last 2-3 decades. The kid books were lots of fun, but it's astonishing just how addictive & "can't stop with just one" Christie is, even after all these years.
