Happy Easter :D  Wishing you all an eggcellent holiday! 

Totally unrelated to books, but this new addition to our fam is too cute not to share! This is Baloo, a 9 week old Husky/German Shepherd mix. Our 1yr old pup Levy is totally smitten with him already. It has been a fun mix of playing hard and napping hard the past few days. 

Because sometimes you just need a cute cat video to cleanse the palate...(especially after reading a horrifying news article)...

I'm pooped and dont have much time but wanted to sneak in some quick blog stalking. In the future if you would all turn you reviews into picture (gif) format i would be very grateful.

:P just joking, though they do occasionally come in handy.....

how cute is the duck..... i would like one of these as well please. 

I finished Fish Soup a day before I posted about it (review here) and yet I'm still peeking at it now and then for the mice. I'd still frame a print from this if it were available. As it is, I'm going to post some photos of the parts I'm looking at (though not all) because - winged mice! How can you not love winged mice? Or at least these winged mice.

In that illustration the mice are part of a "Trained Mouse Circus," which I imagine was fairly easy to convince the mice to take part in as they seemed to enjoy being fed by people. The cats apparently "took great interest in" the circus. No reports of performers being eaten - we are left to wonder. But do take a look at the expressions on those cats. They are having...cat thoughts.
