Down the Mysterly River- Bill Willingham

Filed under: Young Adult ::

Just when I thought I was too tired for another talking animals YA book, this sweet and charming tale won me over.  Max the Wolf, who is not a wolf, and his animal friends are trying to understand why they don’t have any memories of their lives before they meet in a big forest.  They are being hunted by the Cutters who will change their personalities if they are caught.  Nice message about creativity and world building by the author of my favorite comic series going-  Fables.

The Quantum Thief- Hannu Rajaniemi

Filed under: Uncategorized ::

All the buzz on this debut SF title is true.  The thief is trying to recover memories.  Some gamers have evolved into billion souled megaminds.  Exomemories can be shared with others through neural pathways, and the Detective is trying to figure what has been corrupted.  Engaging from start to finish- can’t wait to read what’s next.
