That being said I'm glad to see a return to the MIB universe. I loved the original movies when they first came out and this looks like it could be a worthy successor.
What do you guys think?

Movie Trailer: Men In Black: International
Normally I don't get all that excited for new movie releases, but the trailer for MIB: International looks really, really good. It's a pity that it doesn't feature cameos from Will Smith or Tommy Lee Jones. The voiceover would've been so much better if Tommy Lee Jones did it.
That being said I'm glad to see a return to the MIB universe. I loved the original movies when they first came out and this looks like it could be a worthy successor.

New Arrivals: The Early Christmas Edition
I haven't had much reading time over the past month, but that hasn't stopped me from acquiring more books. I guess that's the way it goes....
First up I took advantage of some black Friday sales. Who could say no to 20% off already low prices?
This is an eclectic collection of books, mostly fantasy, due to the fact that I had to grab anything that grabbed my attention to get a large enough order for free shipping from Reader's Warehouse.
The titles I ended up with were:
Traitor Queen by Trudi Canavan, The High Druid's Blade and The Fall of Shannara by Terry Brooks, Radiance by Catherynne M. Valente, Sword of Destiny and The Lady of the Lake by Andrzej Sapkowski, The Boy on the Bridge by M.R. Carey and The First Collected Tales of Bauchelain and Korbal Broach by Steven Erikson.
Two other titles I ordered earlier also arrived at around the same time. Blackwing by Ed McDonald and Persepolis Rising by James S.A. Corey.
I've saved the best for last. Christmas seems to have come early with a true plethora of books arriving for review.
From the awesome folks at Jonathan Ball Publishers I received an amazing haul:
Edgedancer, Snapshot and Skyward by Brandon Sanderson, Elevation by Stephen King, Thin Air by Richard Morgan, Angels in the Trenches by Dr Leo Ruickbie, War of the Wolf by Bernard Cornwell, Time's Convert by Deborah Harkness, Shattermoon by Dominic Dulley and Assassin's Creed Infographics by Guillaume Delalande.
Tor Books sent me The Moons of Barsk by Lawrence M. Schoen. It seems to have been delayed in the post, but I'm glad it got here.
I'm excited to dive into these. Now if someone can give me a pocket of portable time I'd be golden!

Cover Reveal: Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky
It seems that due to all the madness at work I've missed the cover reveal for Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I fell in love with Children of Time and I practically begged on Twitter for a sequel, so I'm ecstatic that wishes DO come true. I can't wait for some more sentient spider goodness!
CHILDREN OF RUIN by Adrian Tchaikovsky
ISBN: 9781509865833
Release date: 16 May 2019
IT HAS BEEN WAITING THOUGH THE AGES
NOW IT’S TIME . . .
Thousands of years ago, Earth’s terraforming program took to the stars. On the world they called Nod, scientists discovered alien life – but it was their mission to overwrite it with the memory of Earth. Then humanity’s great empire fell, and the program’s decisions were lost to time.
Aeons later, humanity and its new spider allies detected fragmentary radio signals between the stars. They dispatched an exploration vessel, hoping to find cousins from old Earth.
But those ancient terraformers woke something on Nod better left undisturbed.
And it’s been waiting for them.
