hit the ground running to get caught up on home obligations and cat rescue stuff. I also had several feline house guests (including 3 bottle babies!!!) in the past 2 weeks, so not much time for reading. I started reading Michael Farris Smith's book, Desperation Road on Friday and have gotten so hooked on the story and the writing style that it's been hard to put down. Reminds me a bit of Cormac McCarthy--gritty story, with fluid, spare delivery. I also enjoyed his book, Rivers which is a dystopian work that I read several years ago. He has a new book, too, that I will download as soon as it is available at the library.

Here is a blurry picture of those 3 sweet little bottle babies. They would not hold still for a picture.
