Redwall by Brian Jacques


I'm testing out this whole Instagram and connected blog thing.  Do I have more to say about Redwall?

The plot of Redwall: a bumbling orphan mouse named Matthias lives in Redwall (a sanctuary of sorts for woodland animals) and has to solve mysteries while fending off the evil rat Cluny the Scourge.  

I don't like rodents with tails, high fantasy, or dialect, but I like this book.  Go figure.

So there is my first "for more thought-provoking thoughts on this Instagram post see my blog" post. Yeah, I'm good at this stuff...

Update: maybe I was just not in the fantasy mood I thought I was in (not my favorite genre in the first place) but it took me eleven days to finish this (never a good sign). The whole good versus evil thing might be a little too close to current events... yeah let's go with that. 

On to the next book...

Don Quixote would be thrilled...



Oh, yeah, Stonehenge was there too. 


Insert something poetic about roads here.  


I will restrain myself to only four pictures.  You're welcome.
