Bark in the Park! Poems for Dog Lovers by Avery Corman

May 15, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I admit it, I am not really a dog person. My speed is more the pet rock kind of pet. However, if you love dogs, have a dog or ten, want a dog, can’t have a dog or want to read about dogs, this is the book for you. Also, if you like poetry that is rhyming, you should give this a once (or twice or thrice) over. Therefore, even if you are like me and not a “dog person” you can enjoy this gem […]

The lose of a pet does not have to not have hope

Where Lily Isn’t by Julie Paschiks

February 5, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When you can judge a book by its cover, that is not always a bad thing. I had a feeling that Where Lily Isn’t was not going to be a happy book. And it is not a happy book. But it is also not as sad of a book as I had thought it might be. Julie Paschiks has created a sweet, but not overly sappy, story about the loss of a beloved pet. It is a simple (but not simplistic) and a straightforward story. […]

Awesome; More Awesome; Most Awesome

Waylon! Even More Awesome by Sara Pennypacker

January 6, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Knowing the first book (Waylon! One Awesome Thing) helps with reading Waylon! Even More Awesome by Sara Pennypacker. Yet, it is also an independent read. I am hoping book three (Waylon! the Most Awesome of All) is equally good and equally independent. This is a comfortable story about friends, what is right/wrong, learning that science cannot answer all of our problems and sometimes things are not what they seem. Aimed at ages 5 to 6 to be red too, but ages 7 to (young) 10 […]

Gone to the dogs

Antoinette by Kelly DiPucchio

December 2, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Antoinette is probably more a 2.5 than a three. There is something missing for me. Plus, the illustrations and I just are not meshing as I would have liked. Kelly DiPucchio is the author of the companion book Gaston as well as this one. If you do not know who Gaston is, that is fine. His story is told as needed to fit Antoinette’s story. However, you do not necessarily need to know who he was. But, of course, it does not hurt to have […]

My little pups are waiting for me over the rainbow bridge

The Rainbow Bridge by Adrian Raeside

September 23, 2019 by kfishgirl 3 Comments

So unfortunately I’m reviewing The Rainbow Bridge again! I reviewed it last year for my Two Heads are Better than One square when I lost my Ernie. Now I’m doing a repeat for my Two Heads are Better than One square this year because I lost my Oscar. It’s never easy to lose a dog (unless you’re a MONSTER). I feel like it’s even harder when you have to share your loss with two little girls who don’t know life without him. Oscar was my […]

Smaller Mass Update #3: Books about a guy who owns a dog or two

Open and Shut by David Rosenfelt

First Degree by David Rosenfelt

Dog Tags by David Rosenfelt

Ok these three together actually makes sense! They’re all from the same series, and they’re all about a lawyer who loves his dog. Any one of these books can fulfill my “I Love This” bingo square, because I love dogs, and I love legal thrillers. In real life, I love dogs more, so don’t worry about me! Here’s #1! I again started a series at book number 1. I think CBR is reforming my ways. In this book, we’re introduced to Andy, who is a […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
