pickWhat a weird, fun, read! The ending fell a little flat for me as I felt there were too many untied threads, but I‘d still recommend it to anyone who is looking for a slightly unusual mystery!

#TopReads2025 for May goes to 2 favorite books that I couldn‘t decide which one I loved more, so they both are picked! “Big Bad Wool” by Leonie Swann and “Dungeon Crawler Carl” by Matt Dinniman are quite possibly as opposite as you can get but were both fun! One has talking sheep who solve a murder, the other has a talking cat surviving a Hunger Games-esque quest with her boxer wearing bodyguard. I‘d highly recommend both!! 🐑🔎🐈👑
Random book from our home library:
📖 The Shepherd's Life: Modern Dispatches from an Ancient Landscape by James Rebanks
pickThis completely delightful book finds a group of sheep in France with their shepherdess when a deer is found horrifically killed in the woods. The sheep try to solve the mystery while protecting their own flock. It‘s so cute and fun, and the translator really did a marvelous job.
pickThemes: Sleuthing Sheep‘s, Fun characters and great storytelling
This was Book 2 in the “Sheep Detective” series and it was just as great as Book 1 (“Three Bags Full”). I love this series, and I hope there‘s more from Miss Maple, Mopple the Whale, Sir Ritchfield, and Heather too!
#AdultingDoneRight Enjoying chips & queso for dinner with my current (fabulous!!) read 🥰🤩 Happy Mother‘s Day to all the amazing mamas here!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and I‘ve got a brand new library book 🤩🥳🙌 The second in the “Sheep Detective” series from Leonie Swann 🐑🐑🐑🐑
Rough weekend at work so I‘m relaxing with a delicious libation and this entertaining audiobook. 🍸🎧📚💕
pickThis was such a creative, fun read! There were a few passages that transitioned kinda rough; I‘m not sure if that‘s a result of it being translated or if that was intentional. All in all, a fun read and I can‘t wait for Book 2 to publish later this spring!! ***CORRECTED AFTER POSTING*** Pictured here are some of the main characters: Othello, Miss Maple, the flock consisting of Heather, Maude, Zora, and finally Mopple the Whale.
The first of my haul from the Barnes & Noble preorder sale arrived today #Bookmail #PerfectTiming
