4 ⭐This was an interesting read. Papa and son go to work on a Saturday. They have many yards that they have to tend and Papa tells the son that they can tell time by the water jug. When the water jug is empty, they get to go home. However, son did a little bit more with water than drink it. He splashes his back, he waters the pets, and when the water jug is empty it‘s only 10:30 am papa has to admit that it‘s not a magical water jug.

LibrarianRyan It was just a way to make the day a fun adventure for Papa and son. This book is quite lovely and very smart. It shows a life of hard work, and that that work has to get done. I love this book and I love the illustrations that also prove you don‘t have to color in the lines to make a great art. 10mo

I cannot say enough good things about this book! The setup was very contrived, but I appreciate that Gerber managed to present such excellent information in a way that was engaging, rather than dry and boring. Highly recommend this to anyone thinking about starting their own business.

Murder on the Half Shelf | Lorna Barrett

Potty time has been taking a bit lately, so I grabbed a cozy to read while we wander. 🐶💕

Golly this was not good. There was nothing cozy about this. (*wait* there are a few recipes in the back 😆)
Trisha, the MC, seems to have a fairly depressing life, the town is full of unpleasant people, and there is more out-of -left-field drama than you can shake a stick at. I can‘t think of anything positive or cozy about it.

mabell The writing is average, not witty or clever. Even the murder investigation doesn‘t save it, as the denouement was unable to be deduced from anything the reader had been told. It was as if the author didn‘t know how to tie a motive, so she fabricated a nonexistent back story in the last 10 pages.

tpixie Sad the book was not good 2y
mabell @tpixie That‘s ok - my shelves are full of plenty more to try! 😄 I love the cozy genre; I just don‘t seem to love many of the examples. 🤷‍♀️ 2y
tpixie @mabell yes there‘s always more to read! They can‘t all be 5 stars ⭐️ 2y
Librarybelle Like @tpixie said - definitely not all 5 stars. Sad this one was poorly done 2y

The first 2/3 of the book documented the unconscionable hubris of big box and category killer chains. They way they extracted tax breaks and infrastructure paid by local communities, contributed to pollution, replaced good paying jobs with low paying ones, destroyed downtowns, etc. made me never want to go shopping again. The last 1/3 illustrated how some small towns fought back and preserved their downtowns and local businesses.
