Book Log

23. Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins

Final book in the Hunger Games. The revolution is under way, but it will bring about the changes for which the Districts hope? Light read.

24. Fuzzy Nation - John Scalzi *

I read "Little Fuzzy" (as well as all the other Fuzzy books) many years ago, so I was very curious to see what Scalzi would do with a "reboot". For my tastes, he knocked this one out of the park - good characterization (while not always nice characters), great humor, and a great story. The story only shares a few things in common with the original, but I think it is much better then a retelling of the same story with updated tech and modern sensibilities. As an added bonus, this audio book version was read by Wil Wheaton. And for a bonus bonus, they also included an audio version of "Little Fuzzy" (different reader though) so I'm re"reading" that one now.
 

Cat update

Because everyone needs a cat update :) (at least the aren't any more frequent)

First - happy to report that Bootsie has settled right back into her routine at home. She is giving Kim a wide berth still, but is out and about.

Eir had some worms when she went in to the vet, so she got treated for them, but Tyr's treatment had been long enough ago that there was a good chance he'd have caught them from her in the meantime. So off I went to treat him again, plus Grimalkin and Gunther just to be on the safe side. He wasn't too badly traumatized by the experience, but I am giving them a few more days before I remove the gates - probably this Saturday if I don't give in sooner.
