Ivy by Katherine Coville

May 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Digging, digging through my junk, I found this book. What luck! As the above said, I was cleaning the other day and found this reader copy of Ivy by Katherine Coville. Therefore, the illustrations were not completed, so I can only tell you that the images I did see look fun, cozy, and good for … [Read more]

What Are You? by Christian Trimmer

May 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

You get right to the point of the matter with What Are You? Well, okay it takes a couple minutes (after all doggies must play and you can ask questions afterwards).

He’s a dog called Murray with lots of worries

Don’t Worry Murry by David Ezra Stein

David Ezra Stein created a small dog that has big fears. He does not want to go outside. Why? Asks the narrator. And in a … [Read more]

John Updike Stuff

The Poorhouse Fair by John Updike

The Same Door by John Updike

Pigeon Feathers by John Updike

Museums` and Women by John Updike

May 3, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

The Poorhouse Fair - 3/5 Stars This is a reread for me separated by about 15 years or so. This is John Updike's first novel, and feels like it in a lot of ways. It also feels like a kind of drawer novel that came out after finding some experience with short fiction and poetry. The novel is short, … [Read more]

    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.
