Haha I know, I don't even try and keep up anymore but that one had stuck in my head because I remember being suprised that it existed. I thought Children of Time was a standalone. I haven't had chanxe to read it yet but its high up on the TBR.

How about a April 8 start date? That would be 6 weeks before the Children of Ruin read.

I’m up for anything. I kind of just jump into whatever catches my eye with no plan. I’ve read the Captain Marvel and Rocket Raccoon series from Marvel Now but would love to jump into the other stuff on there.
