Review of WISH ME HOME by Kay Bratt

By TJ June 9, 2020Books, Dogs, Fiction

This kitty seems to be reading a lot of dog books lately! We found this book on Audible - it was an Audible book of the day - and we couldn't remove the ear buds for practically the length of the book. It's about a young woman, Cara, who…

With so many dog lovers and so many readers of crime novels, we find it strange that there aren't more K-9 mysteries out there. Why? Well, we were thrilled to find this one - SUSPECT by Robert Crais, which we originally found as an Audible daily deal, then loved…

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…

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…
