My Weekly Pull [52] & Can't Wait Wednesday [22]

My Weekly Pull is something I do every Wednesday to show which comics I had pulled for me that week! If you're into comics, or you're looking to start, please join me! If you decide to do your own post, there's a link-up at the bottom. I would love to stop by and check it out!

 Runaways #17 by Rainbow Rowell, Kris Anka
Uncanny X-Men #8 by Ed Brisson, R.B. Silva, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Pere Perez, Elizabeth Torque

Jacob's comics for the week!
Deadpool #8 by Skottie Young, Nic Klein
Infinity Wars Infinity #1 by Gerry Duggan, Mark Bagley, Mike Deodato
Man Without Fear #1 by Jed MacKay, Danilo Beyrouth, Kyle Hotz
Marvel Knights 20th #5 (of 6) by Donny Cates, Niko Henrichon, Kaare Andrews, Tini Howard, Damian Couceiro

...and from last week:
Uncanny X-Men #7 by Ed Brisson, Pere Perez, Elizabeth Torque

I know I missed last week's post, but we were in the middle of a move and I had to take a short break from blogging. However, because of the holidays, very few comics actually came out last week, which is why we only have the one Uncanny X-Men. This week I only have two, Uncanny X-Men and Runaways, and Jacob has a few others. Now I just need to find the time to read them... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, that highlights upcoming releases that we're anticipating and excited to read. It's a spinoff of the feature Waiting on Wednesday that was hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

Fix Her Up (Hot & Hammered, #1)
by Tessa Bailey
Expected publication: June 11th 2019
Synopsis (via Goodreads): Georgette Castle’s family runs the best home renovation business in town, but she picked balloons instead of blueprints and they haven’t taken her seriously since. Frankly, she’s over it. Georgie loves planning children’s birthday parties and making people laugh, just not at her own expense. She’s determined to fix herself up into a Woman of the World... whatever that means.

Phase one: new framework for her business (a website from this decade, perhaps?)

Phase two: a gut-reno on her wardrobe (fyi, leggings are pants.)

Phase three: updates to her exterior (do people still wax?)

Phase four: put herself on the market (and stop crushing on Travis Ford!)

Living her best life means facing the truth: Georgie hasn’t been on a date since, well, ever. Nobody’s asking the town clown out for a night of hot sex, that’s for sure. Maybe if people think she’s having a steamy love affair, they’ll acknowledge she’s not just the “little sister” who paints faces for a living. And who better to help demolish that image than the resident sports star and tabloid favorite?


Travis Ford was major league baseball’s hottest rookie when an injury ended his career. Now he’s flipping houses to keep busy and trying to forget his glory days. But he can’t even cross the street without someone recapping his greatest hits. Or making a joke about his… bat. And then there's Georgie, his best friend’s sister, who is not a kid anymore. When she proposes a wild scheme—that they pretend to date, to shock her family and help him land a new job—he agrees. What’s the harm? It’s not like it’s real. But the girl Travis used to tease is now a funny, full-of-life woman and there’s nothing fake about how much he wants her... 

I like it when characters pretend to date, or they're friends hanging out, and then they unexpectedly fall in love! They already have a relationship, so they know a little about each other, and then we get to see how their feelings grow in a romantic way. Ahh -- I cannot wait for this one! I haven't read a Tessa Bailey book before, but I've heard wonderful things about her stories.
