Books from the Backlog #209

Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf unread.  If you are anything like me, you might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. This is a fun meme hosted by Carole's Random Life in Books!

When the Bat's away, the Cat will play. It's time to see how many lives this cat really has. . . .

Two years after escaping Gotham City's slums, Selina Kyle returns as the mysterious and wealthy Holly Vanderhees. She quickly discovers that with Batman off on a vital mission, Batwing is left to hold back the tide of notorious criminals. Gotham City is ripe for the taking.

Meanwhile, Luke Fox wants to prove he has what it takes to help people in his role as Batwing. He targets a new thief on the prowl who seems cleverer than most. She has teamed up with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, and together they are wreaking havoc. This Catwoman may be Batwing's undoing.

I added Catwoman: Soulstealer to my TBR pile in August of 2018, so when it came out! This was the DC Icons series where an array of NY Times Bestselling authors wrote about one of the DC heroes but in a teen's perspective. I remember I read Wonder Woman...because it was Leigh Bardugo and Marie Lu's Batman because it was Marie Lu and Batman! So naturally, I HAD to read Catwoman! But alas, it remains unread...still. I'm hoping since it's early Maas it won't be so hefty. Plus it was DC comics so she had to follow a set of rules and such, as I remember Marie and Leigh mentioning this when they were on tour for said books. I always loooooooved the Tim Burton Batman films, so Batman Returns was a HUGE win for me! So I definitely still want to read this one, just need to work it in somehow!
