Mrs. Pollifax is off to Zambia to join a safari that also includes the famed assassin Aristotle. Can she figure out which of her traveling companions he is? Or will an innocent message she leaves before the trip starts cause too many problems. I must admit I was surprised at how slowly this book starts. Much slower than I remembered. But overall it was still quite good.

Volume 2 of Assassination Classroom continues the oddball storyline of a misfit class of students that are trying to assassinate their teacher. The book covers are colorful and cute, but the series is not for young readers. In book 2, we are introduced to a new teacher character, who happens to be a professional assassin. This lady needs to try her hand at the assassination as well as get used to teaching kids in a classroom setting. The class also gets to head out on a class trip to Koyoto. More fun to come...

Movie Rating Watch
Matt Damon second outing as Jason Bourne, with the amnesiac assassin hiding out on India, but then being pulled back into action when he is framed for the murder of CIA agents during a government operation in Berlin, and after a tragedy strikes.

Like The Bourne Identity before it, this has some bruising action sequences (while, perhaps, the 'shaky cam' is overdone), culminating in an impressive car chase sequence through and under the streets of Moscow, after which the film seems to run out of steam but still goes on for a bit!

I'd heard a lot of good things about Spy x Family, which is a new manga series. I gave the first volume a try, and was pleasantly surprised. It was very cute. The first volume focuses on how the three main characters come together, and how they begin the spy's mission, unbeknownst to the mother, who is actually an assassin. Since the adults don't know about each other's real professions, they are a little socially awkward while trying to appear as a real family. It makes for a cute first volume.
