Read in February 2018

This is the second month of Book-a-Day, so, again, there should be a long list of books below, complete with links to individual posts.

I have gotten a little ahead, and I'm trying to drop multi-book things into single posts, so we'll see how far I can go with that. (You'll know I'm doing well if you see a post about the two Bacchus volumes by Eddie Campbell -- about 1200 pages of comics with a lot of words to the page -- or of the six volumes of the Alan Moore Swamp Thing. Both are sitting on the to-be-read shelves, mocking me.) Here's what I did get through this month:
