Review of LILY AND THE OCTOPUS by Steven Rowley

By TJ June 8, 2020Books, Dogs, Fiction

This is our very favorite book for the past few years - yes, despite it being about a dog! Since one of the main characters is a dog, we had our Sofia pose with the book :) I found this gem, Lily and the Octopus by Steven Rowley, at my…

Bison & Calf, Yellowstone N. Park 2010, Dick Forehand (Originally published 7/22/2017 but I am re-pubbing since I loved this reading so much, and since this wonderful author has inspired me to tour Yellowstone National Park this upcoming spring.) Last night I went to a talk at Changing Hands…

Sneaky Pie Brown Rules!

By TJ June 8, 2020Books, Cats, Dogs, Fiction

We are major, major fans of Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie Brown in this household! Sofia poses with the very first in the Sneaky Pie series, Wish You Were Here. The best cozy mystery / cat mystery writer around, in our humble opinion. Brown's cats - Mrs. Murphy and…

THE NAVAJO AND THE ANIMAL PEOPLE

By TJ June 8, 2020Books, Nonfiction

Yesterday we had an outdoors memorial for my friend who passed away, during which a hawk flew overhead. One friend got very excited, saying predatory birds are a good sign according to Navajo custom. I later looked it up and found hawks symbolize a connection to the spirit world.…

Review of DOG CRAZY by Meg Donohue

By TJ June 8, 2020Books, Dogs, Fiction

We found this wonderful gem used at one of our favorite bookstores, Changing Hands. Where would we be without our indie bookstores??? The cover kind of makes the novel look like cute chick lit, but it is so much deeper and more serious and it contains some of the…

This fun, colorful book edited by Layla Morgan Wilde seeks to dismantle the myth that black cats are creatures to be feared. And it does! Not that said myth is not ridiculous to begin with - are we still living in the Medieval Age? Yet it is a sad…

Review of CRAIG AND FRED by Craig Grossi

I loved this book! I saw it in my local library when I went there to get a novel for a book club. I haven’t read many military books, but how could anyone resist this cover! (BTW: since it’s a dog book, sister Sofia poses with it, and I…

By TJ June 8, 2020Books, Cats, Fiction

Purr M For Murder is a really sweet cozy mystery and is the first, that I know of anyway, that is set in a cat cafe! We would so love to open our own cat cafe someday, so we were overjoyed when we saw the back-cover blurb on this…

Review of LOVE AT FIRST BARK by Julie Klam

By TJ June 8, 2020Books, Dogs, Memoir, Nonfiction

We loved this short, sweet memoir we happened to find at a special sale at our favorite bookstore, Changing Hands. It’s by the very funny Julie Klam, about what her experiences rescuing dogs has taught her about herself. There are several wonderful stories here about the endearingly-portrayed dogs Klam…
