Spotted these tracks in the snow today. Can you guess what creature made them?




ETA: Here is the shot that I took of his footprints in the sand...

I am currently suffering a problem that Eddie has a lot - too many books to read. Not that Eddie reads books (well, he's read to Kill a Mockingbird but stopped when he realised the title was misleading), he has the same problem with toys - so many toys, no idea which one to read first!

So, the dilemma is this: what to choose between:

The fourth Felix Castor novel
The latest Morganville Vampires novel
The first Sookie Stackhouse novel

Or steal another one of Sarah's new books and read that before she does? :)

The book I have just finished (which was stolen from Sarah) was very cool. Halting State by Charles Stross is well worth a read if you are in anyway into computers, computer games, roleplaying or LARP. Some nice ideas in it and a very strange PoV which may take some getting used to. Not sure what to call it but everything is written as if a roleplaying GM was describing a scene to a player in a game. Its all 'You feel scared as you walk, wondering what you will see when you open the door...' and seems to work for this story - especially when every chapter is named for the character who is 'you'. Though it can get confusing when you leave it mid chapter and go back to it having forgotten who the protagonist is in that particular chapter... Definitely suggest you all look out for it...
