Good morning, guys! Not next week, but the week after, I should be able to introduce you all to our new bunnies! For now, Breakfast has a fistbump for you all.
I should hurry up, because I’m writing this on Friday evening (as ever) and we’ve been to the gym and are tired. We being me and my wife, not me and the bunnies, entertaining though the image of them hopping on a treadmill is (and much as Hulk could use the exercise). So here goes!
Books acquired this week:
Library sale + falling in love with a new series!
Books read this week:
Reviews posted this week:
–The Mystery of the Skeleton Key, by Bernard Capes. Nothing groundbreaking, and a bit slow, but if you’re into Golden Age crime fiction… 2/5 stars
–Endless Forms Most Beautiful, by Sean Carroll. A great entry-level book on Evo Devo. 4/5 stars
–Genghis Khan: Life, Death and Resurrection, by John Man. Another entertaining pop-history part-travelogue book from Man… 3/5 stars
–Annihilation, by Jeff Vandermeer. This was a reread for me, and one I found worth it. I enjoy the narrator’s matter-of-fact tone a lot. 4/5 stars
–Rebel of the Sands, by Alwyn Hamilton. Another reread, so I can get on with the series. Still entertaining, without being very groundbreaking. 3/5 stars
Other posts:
–Discussion: Returning Comments. What do you do if someone comments on your blog, you go to return it, and you find out they think you’re going to hell and frequently post saying so whenever homosexuality comes up in the books they read? To the extent of no longer supporting an author because they’re tolerant of homosexuality?
–WWW Wednesday. The usual weekly update.
Out and about:
–Once Upon A Blue Moon: ‘[UNTRANSLATABLE]‘. A rather cynical take on why an alien might be interested in Earth.
So how’s everyone’s week been? Anything exciting going on for you?
Me? Preparing for Witch Week (October 31–November 6) with a fellow blogger and a sennight of posts on Ursula Le Guin, the Polish ‘Witcher’ books and other items related to Feminism+Fantasy; pretty much set up bar the usual bit of last-minute tinkering…
Sounds like fun! I really need to do more of my planned Ursula Le Guin rereads…
I really hope you enjoy Hounded. I loved the series and wish I had my own Oberon to talk to! New bunnies, how exciting!!!
I’ve been meaning to try it for aaaages, so the library sale having the first book was the perfect excuse. 😀
Wait, did you say new bunnies?! D’awwwww!
Yep! Two little sibling buns. They’ll be eight weeks old (ish) when we pick them up on Saturday!
