Yesterday I created a Pinterest board for Quantum Zoo. It captures the feel of the stories in the collection so well, I want to share the images with you. You may, of course, click over to Pinterest here to see the board in all its glory. But I’m also posting the collage below. 😀 Enjoy!

Want: chocolate eggs, pink car, whale.
Amazing how much you can focus on something with images. A pink car is not just a Volkswagen (Mexico was full of them – every other car was a VW – when I was growing up), but a specific pink Chevy (I’m hopeless with cars, unless there are two of them, and one is a VW bug).
Another thing – Pinterest – I’ll have to learn one of these day. But not yet, not yet…
LOL! Myself? I’m longing for a triceratops, a minotaur, and an Egyptian goddess. 😀
