So, I felt like I was running out of things to read on my kindle. That's the only way I can explain this.
I also bought my first adult coloring book - The Time Garden by Daria Song.
It's really neat because it tells a story about a your girl's journey through a clock. (I also totally did not include it on my ban.)
And I bought myself gifts.
I've been doing this for years now, where I'll buy myself something that I consider my birthday gift to me. Sometimes it's a TV show - sometimes it's a couple of books. Well, this year it was three books.
Loki: Agent of Asgard: Trust Me by Al Ewing & Lee Garbett
This is the bind up of, I think, the first 5 volumes. I've actually never gotten truly involved in reading comics, but considering how much I love the character of Loki from the MCU, (and most versions of Loki, anyway) this seemed like the obvious place to start. (Just like my manga, I am not including comics in my ban in any way.)
Kingdom of Ashes by Rhiannon Thomas
How could I not buy this for my birthday? I mean, it released ON my birthday! It's like a sign!
Fire Falling by Elise Kova
This wasn't actually supposed to be part of my gift, but once I held it in my hands and saw that gorgeous, gorgeous cover in person, I couldn't resist. I loved and adored the first book, but I am super terrified of this one. Because I can totally see everything falling apart and my poor little - half shriveled and slightly dead - heart getting pulled from my chest. And quite possibly stomped on. Just so long as I still like the people, that's all I'm asking for.
Finally, I got books as birthday gifts!
Yay! My mom knows me so well. :)
The Hero's Lot by Patrick W. Carr
The Worlds of Earth by Pauline Marquez
Celtic Designs by Carol Schmidt
Adult Coloring Books Compilation
And, finally, this absolutely gorgeous book. This actually tells the story of the hunt for and the discovery of his tomb and has some beautiful pictures of his sarcophagus, hieroglyphics and statues from his tomb.
The Gold of Tutankhamen by Kamal El Mallakh & Arnold C. Brackman
