It's wicked fun. Not only are there zombies, but you have to build yourself a safe place and collect useful items like food so you won't starve, wood and stone to build tools, and anything else to help you survive the 7th night when the horde comes. If you make it through that, then on the 14th day, there will be more...As usual I've died a lot.
You can also play on line with friends (I play with my brother) and partner up, which makes things a lot easier - especially when your brother is an experienced zombie killer :)
Attention grabber number two is my current wip, which I've been making steady progress on (27K) and of course there's the puppy, who is pretty irresistible...
He can hop into that chair all by himself now.
As for my thoughts on All the Light We Cannot See...
This book takes place during WWII and is told from alternating view points. One is Marie-Laure, a blind girl who sees more without her eyes than many people see with. The other is Wernor, a boy with a talent for electronics, specifically radios, who soon becomes part of the Nazi war machine. I think the title sums up beautifully what the book is about, because there IS a great deal of light in this world many of us don't see, either because we can't, won't, or, it isn't visible to us. I think this is which is one of the most beautifully written books I've had the pleasure to read. The way Marie-Laure sees things is so artfully described and Werner, this boy who really has no interest in politics, who isn't bad at heart, gets dragged into the war because of his obsession with radios. I can't help but feel a little sorry for him even though he ignores so much because of his love of radios. How the two are connected I won't reveal but do read the book. I recommend it.
And finally, a couple of pics taken my son the birder.
That last photo could be on a card. The owl is really great as well.
ReplyDeletePup is looking cuter by the week.
My son definitely takes some great pics :)
DeleteYour son's bird photos are great! And that book sounds good -- I've added it to my "to read" list.
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it!
DeleteYour son could have a future as a National Geographic photographer. Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteThat book sounds fantastic, too. I reckon I'll have to mosey on over to Amazon and see how much it costs... :)
Boy wouldn't he love that! Hope you enjoy the book :)
DeleteLOVE your son's photos. And the very, very cute Pup.
ReplyDeleteThat book has been on my list for ages. I must pick it up - thank you.
I love when he sends them to me! I'd love to know what you thought of the book when you read it :)
DeleteGlad to read your review. Now I will read All the Light We Cannot See...still sitting on my bookshelf. Love the bird shots!
ReplyDeleteYes, my son does take some great pics :)
DeleteI like the sound of that game!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty fun :)
DeleteYour banner is STUNNNNNIINNNGG. Wow, wow.
ReplyDeleteLove the pup update. How cute! 7 Days to Die is a game that Tim plays as well.
Wishing you a great week ahead with a lot of boogie boogie.
Thank you! And oh yeah, Bruno is a wicked cutie :)
DeleteThat's awesome that your brother and you play a game together. My boyfriend loves to play games on the computer. I'm getting addicted to a word game on my phone. And love the updates on your cute puppy.
ReplyDeleteI love computer games...well, some of them. I am also admittedly a scrabble addict.
ReplyDeleteWe have a barred owl like yours in our yard. I wish sex were easier to determine. I generally refer to it as "she" but who knows. She likes hanging out near our feeders for obvious reasons. Everyone's gotta eat...
ReplyDeleteWhat's nice about barred owls for a birder is that, unlike the larger, apex predator Great Horned Owl, they can be seen during the day. Not that she's not busy at night. We often hear her after dark, usually from ground level which suggests a kill to me. In the spring/summer, we hear owlets. That's my favorite part.
I love owls.
Owls are adorable and beautiful. And yes, everyone's gotta eat. That owl was at my son's my place. He has a feeder...
DeleteShe stays in the tree during the day. I think she waits for the mice who venture forth at night. Fine by us!
Deletemethinks that pup needs a cat!
ReplyDeleteBruno has 2 cats, Miss Mel and Kitten, who is not a kitten anymore, but is still just as cute as one :)
DeleteThat book is the most beautiful book I've ever read! It affected me so deeply, as soon as I finished, I went back to the first page and started over.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was exceptionally beautiful as well.
DeleteThe birds look cold.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great book.
Yes, they do!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures look amazing!

Cute puppy.
ReplyDeleteOwls did come to my backyard several years ago. They never come recently.
The book sounds good. I should read it.
Have a great day
I have not had an owl in my yard. That owl was in my son's yard. The book is wonderful :)
DeleteThat sounds like a book I should read. The world seems so dark right now. Be well!
