11. Two things, actually

I had started Ball Lightning by Cixin Liu (author of The Three-Body Problem) and although it's pretty good, I kind of stalled out. I don't know whether it's his style or the translation, but it's a bit dry going. I'll get back to it eventually. In the meantime I had won a book giveaway on Goodreads (yay me!) of a Kindle edition of a book I'd particularly wanted, War Bunny by Christoper St. John. Anyone who enjoyed Watership Down may like this one. Or not. It's a little strange. It reminds me a bit of The Guardians of Ga'hoole series, which I started my first grandchild on years ago and which he loved. (We also liked the movie.) I'm not very far in because we've had two rock and jewelry shows in two weeks so been a little busy.
