Ann Littlewood is a one-time zoo keeper and now-time murder mystery writer whose stories take place in and around zoos. An awesome combination if you ask me. I'm very much looking forward to reading her upcoming book, Did Not Survive, but in the interim, I will wear my dog as a hat. As you can…

Yay for more shot glasses!

I love the semi-blocked note in the picture, which seemingly reads "Enjoy your present from the internet! Get in, in return I am expecting an able hippo. -Miriam"
