pickFull of quirky Houston characters, two (or three) dogs, and one sardonic cat, this novel celebrates love, human and canine, without being sappy or emotionally manipulative. Prose that brings the west to life, & a surprise cameo of someone I once knew who is neither fictional nor famous. (Houston once went to the same church as me and knew this man there which makes me wonder if he asked her to write him into one of her stories.) No. 8 #24in2024
so-soThe book was told from Beautiful Joe‘s point of view. I enjoyed this, but it did get preachy at times. I agree with it all, but even so, it still felt a bit preachy. Many of the characters in the story were almost too good to be true, but at the same time, I think the book (originally published in 1893) was trying to teach kids not to be cruel to animals, they have feelings and feel pain, too. Interesting that it is actually a woman who wrote this
pickAllida Babcock is an expert in dog behavior and has just set up shop as a dog psychologist in Boulder. A woman with a collie recently died mysteriously and now the collie behaving strangely. As the story goes forward, O‘Kane folds in great details and characters so that I truly didn‘t know who dun it. Plus there‘s lots of great dog stuff and Allida is a strong female character, which I love.
pick4⭐️ A really cute Christmas story. A fairly easy read that surprisingly had a little more meat on the story than some of the other #christmasfiction I read this season. #2021 #fiction #bookreview #bookstagram #dogfiction #litsyatoz #d
