This fun anthology of humorous pieces about living with dogs is a great read for dog lovers. I didn‘t shed any tears, but did lots of chuckling and recognized my own bitches in many of these essays. #Bindi #Greta #dogsofLitsy

What‘s not to love about the Murderbot series? The latest is a satisfying installment, and I loved the conclusion to this one.

The Bitch | Pilar Quintana

The Bitch is ostensibly a story of a woman and the dog she adopts, but really it is exploring deeper themes of loss and betrayal. Overall I thought it was good but not great and I‘m frustrated by the abrupt ending.

Pictured here with my bitches, #Greta and #Bindi. 😉

TrishB Look at those faces 🐶❤️ 3y

The Disaster Tourist | YUN. KO-EUN

Yona‘s job is to create itineraries for disaster tourism. She ends up on a tour offered by her company and things go a bit sideways. This is a truly unique book with lots of social commentary. I really enjoyed it.

The Wheel of Darkness | Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

A mysterious, mystical antiquity is stolen from a Tibetan monastery and secreted onto a lavish ocean liner, where it wreaks havoc. Wildly unrealistic and pure entertainment, this is exactly what I was looking for after a heavy read about genocide.

squirrelbrain Hee hee look at the pupper! Is he (she?) actually sleeping like that, or just stretching?! 🐶 4y
Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain She‘ll sleep like that! She usually doesn‘t stay in that position for long, but she does it often. Makes me chuckle every time. 4y
squirrelbrain I bet it does! One of my cats used to sleep on her back, like a sea otter rafting... made me laugh! 4y

Mehso-so

In 1993 in eastern #France, a man killed his parents, wife, and two children. Shortly thereafter virtually his entire life was revealed to be a lie. This book tells his story and should be great with such good material, but the pacing is off, it didn‘t hold my interest well, and the ending sort of trickles off. A missed opportunity.

BarbaraBB That is a pity, this is one of my favorite authors 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y
Megabooks That‘s too bad because it sounds like a good plot. 5y
Librarybelle Echoing @BarbaraBB and @Megabooks ...sounds like a very interesting plot 5y

Soubhiville Is Bindi‘s face cold? Looks like she‘s trying to keep warm snuggled in there. 🥰 5y
Hooked_on_books @BarbaraBB I‘ve heard the NYT book review podcast folks just gush about this author, so you‘re definitely not alone! I‘ve never read him before, so I don‘t know if he‘s just not for me or if this is an off book. 5y
Hooked_on_books @Megabooks It‘s true crime, so it should be chilling and fascinating and mostly just isn‘t. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 5y
Hooked_on_books @Soubhiville It‘s cute—she does this every now and then, just shoves her face between me and the chair. But then she doesn‘t want me to pet her when she does this. If anything, I can only lay my hand on her and not move it. Goofy dog! 5y
BarbaraBB I do remember liking this book though I don‘t remember much of it. Of you‘re willing to try him again, my favorite is 5y
Hooked_on_books @BarbaraBB I‘ll definitely keep that in mind. I‘m willing to try him again, though I‘m not sure when that may happen. 5y

The majority of this book is a solid, eye-opening look at the author‘s reality of living with schizoaffective disorder. While I can‘t quite relate to her experiences, I do feel closer to understanding them, I think. The final 2 chapters weaken the book by veering a bit far (including the “spiritual arts” and I don‘t mean religion) out of the mainstream, but an otherwise excellent book.

#dogsofLitsy #Bindi

Joanne1 Agree entirely. Truly stereotyping busting but then those last two chapters!! 5y
Megabooks I felt like the Lyme should‘ve been a separate book. I found it to be a weird addition too. 5y

Brit Susan and American Ollie meet by chance in 1940, when she is working with the National Pigeon Service to deploy her homing pigeons into German-occupied France. This book illustrates an interesting bit of history about which I knew nothing, and I enjoyed it. It‘s definitely a flawed first novel that I could nitpick, but it‘s worth reading.

BarbaraTheBibliophage National Pigeon Service? I had noooooo idea! 5y
Hooked_on_books @BarbaraTheBibliophage Right?!? During WWII, over 250,000 pigeons were utilized to send intelligence and messages back to the U.K. from the continent. Pretty ingenious. 5y
