Please post your reviews so we can support one another. I started a new thread for 2021 as the old one was getting a little unwieldy.

Rai (2019) Book 2 ★★★★The best comic Valiant is currently publishing.
The Ballad of Yaya Book 7: The Trap ★★★★Part Manga, Part Tintin. Yaya gets amnesia and goes off with her kidnapper to Hong Kong.
The Ballad of Yaya Book 8: The Return ★★★★This Manga influenced French comic is strangely enthralling.
The Ballad of Yaya Book 9: Sonata ★★★Yaya's story comes to a close even though there's not much closure.
CULLEN BUNN OMNIBUS ALL MY LITTLE DEMONS: An AfterShock Library of Tales ★★★A massive tome of most of Cullen Bunn's work at Aftershock.
Bad Reception ★★The queen of social media and her fiancee get married on a remote island where they decide to take everyone's phone away. Of course, now that everyone is stuck on the island, a killer starts murdering everyone in the reverse order of their social media presence.
War on Terror: Godkillers ★★★A cool idea about ISIS using mythological creatures in warfare that ultimately reaches too close to the sun for a 5 issue series.

The Sacrifice of Darkness ★★A romance set in a coal mining town with the occasional spaceship available for snuffing out the sun. It's almost comical how bad the world building and science is in this book.

So this happened on Monday and we find out..."That's actually a REALLY good turn around time. A lot of times companies go weeks without even being aware that they were breached.
Just logged into NetGalley and got this message:It is with great regret that we inform you that on Monday, December 21, 2020 NetGalley was the victim of a data security incident.

I advise everyone to go and change your NetGalley password ASAP.
The Neil Gaiman Library Volume 2 ★★★★A bunch of Neil Gaiman's short stories brought to life by some wonderful artists.

Can you archive the July 2020 Chit-Chat?
What do you think of archiving the Reviews folder in early January and creating a 2021 Reviews folder by Jan. 1?"
Pam,
Your first 2 suggestions are done. I planned on archiving the Reviews thread and starting a new one in Jan. If I get sidetracked and forget, please remind me next weekend.
What do you plan on reading for January 2021?
Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins Library Edition ★★★★★This was great. A fantasy adventure with lots of hijinks and humor.
