#103 Wonder Woman: Earth One Vol. 1 by Grant Morrison, Yanick Paquette

This is a reboot of Wonder Woman. I haven’t read any of them before and I have hazy childhood memories of the TV show.  Since this is an origins story quite a bit of it is told in bits in pieces as a testimony at a trial for Diana on Paradise Island for breaking the rules. All the testimony is given while holding the lasso of truth.  Not sure if I will continue to read the books since story reboot was good but there was something about it that left me cold.  Maybe it just isn’t to my taste but I’m sure lots of people will enjoy it.

#104 Sweep in Peace by Ilona Andrews

I ignored this when it was a online serial since I knew the slow drips of the story would drive me up the wall. I enjoyed the first book and was pretty happy they continued the series.  Dina is still struggling with the inn and missing Sean. An Arbitrator arrives offering her a very sweet deal if she will allow the inn to be grounds for working on a peace treaty between 3 factions.  The inn needs visitors to survive so she agrees even when it looks to be an impossible task. The plus side is two of the factions are led by someone she knows but it doesn’t help the negotiations.  Dina has a lot of work on her hands keeping everyone from killing each other and also keeping the neighborhood cop from finally finding out just what is going on inside her B&B.

While not necessary to have read the first book it does give more depth to the story. I’ll be looking out for the third book if they decide to do more.
