#67 Grandville Bête Noire by Bryan Talbot

I read this for the Hugo ballot voting but I definitely want to find the previous volumes and read them. An alt universe with anthropomorphic animals and humans where the humans are second class citizens. The Victorian steampunk setting is fully developed and used throughout the book. LeBrock and his assistant go over to Paris to help with a murder investigation of an artist. I think what I liked the best was the afterword where the writer explained how a piece of history set this graphic novel in motion.

#68 Affliction by Laurell K. Hamilton

We finally get to have zombies again in the books even if Anita isn't raising them herself. Granted it comes with another family emergency with Micah but there is no identical cousins story to go with it this time. The usual story tropes of people afraid she will take over a case just by being there. Sexist law enforcement people hating on her about the only thing that the book didn't have was the other Master of the City getting pissy with her being in his territory. Only a few sex scenes but now I swear even though she isn't feeding her ardeur in each one she still has to try and top the previous books with something outrageous.

#69 Saucer Country Vol. 1: Run by Paul Cornell

This is another one of the Hugo nominated graphic novels and it is something I don't think I would have read otherwise. The author is trying to work within the UFO mythos while at the same time telling the reader that it is all wrong and humans can't process it at all. The story seems well written but it just wasn't my cup of tea.
