I almost returned the tagged book unread to make room for a 48-hour audiobook that came in way earlier than expected, but I decided to at least give it a go. Now I‘ve got an exciting new author to explore! While I solved the mystery many hours before Jake, I had such a great time with all the small town community stuff and the strong friendships that I couldn‘t care about the story‘s faults. I made excuses to listen more. #audiobaking

pickThis was my introduction to Bowen's mystery series set in Regina, Saskatchewan. I enjoyed the story and especially liked the characters and will be looking out for more books in this series.

so-soActually my favourite chapter was the one with the two owls (Mowat used those owls in his fictional kids‘ story, “Owls in the Family”). The book was more like short stories, but that‘s ok. Mutt was a character. A lot of people seem to consider this a children‘s book, but I didn‘t think it read that way. A boy and his dog, sure. I suppose that would appeal, but it didn‘t seem particularly written for kids. I‘m rating it good.

Breakfast reading with Cooper. He‘s my little shadow, this guy. The other dogs sometimes wander off to do their own things, but Coopy‘s never very far away. I think he especially likes reading time because it‘s prime snuggle time.
