I recently read Superheroes as well, and I concur with your assessment.
And, OMG, I just finished reading The Martian and I have to say, it's the best hard sci-fi book I've read all year. |

Next up: The Time of the Dark by Barbara Hambley. I have read this, many years ago, but I remember it only vaguely, except that I liked it a lot. I hope I still like it a lot. |

Did Time of the Dark a couple months ago; and I enjoyed it.
I read too much and can't afford to buy books at regualr prices, so I have to setttle for whatever is cheap (or free) at the moment, so I am plowing through Humble bundles and bargains of the day (and the occasional physical copy acquired at the only used book store in town or Goodwill). |

I wait for the bargains, but in books that I want. So Kobo competitions are good, as are Kindle daily deals. I have over 700 waiting to be read, so I can afford to wait!

I haven't read this yet! So many books so little time. Haha. I haven't gotten this book yet either. What are those top 5 books you read in 2014, Hampshire Nanny? I'd like to know because I want to expand my reading list for 2015.

Leaving Everything Most Loved by Jacqueline Winspear* The Martian by Andy Weir Nightmares! by Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller The Paper Magician by Charlie N Holmberg Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson Close runners-up: The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches by Alan Bradley** Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford * Leaving Everything Most Loved is the most recent book in the Maisie Dobbs series. I don't think it's a stand-alone read ... you really need to have read prior books in the series. ** The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches is the most recent book in the Flavia de Luce series. It is *not* a stand-alone read. A lot of its appeal to me was because it tied up a long story arc. |
