My Enemy, My Ally by Diane Duane

Did not finish book. Stopped at 56%.
The characters and the setting didn't feel authentic to me, which is an absolut must when I read books based on series/films. Everything was off.

I Am a Capybara by Michela Fabbri

funny informative inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

5.0

Perfect for anyone regardless of age who - like me - loves capybaras. 
The art is simple, delicate and beautiful and captures together with the text the nature of animals who, like barely any others, radiate pure Zen. (I'm a capy fan, did I mention that?) 

Let's all be like capybaras. (And elephants.)
