I have wanted to read Delilah Dirk books for some time. A few weeks ago, I went to the library to pick up a book I had on hold and came out with three others. Two were the first two in the series by Tony Cliff, Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant (V01) and Delilah Dirk and the King’s Shilling … [Read more]

He wanted a litter of puppies, he got three sisters

My Life Begins! by Patricia MacLachlan

by Leave a Comment

I am sad to say that My Life Begins! is probably going to be the last book by Patricia MacLachlan we will have. Unless, she had things in the works that will come out after August 2022 (when My Life Begins! comes out). But either way, this book does not disappoint. It is an adorable book about … [Read more]

Down in the (city) in a little bitty pool Swam several little fishies (or kids in this case)

Swim Team by Johnnie Christmas

by Leave a Comment

This adorable face looked up at me when I was looking at books in a catalog (okay, I know I’m old, but it was an online catalog, so no gruff okay?). It was of middle-schooler Bree. She was staring up and out with these sweet brown eyes, an impish smile, and a confidence I wanted to meet. So, meet … [Read more]

Truly a perfect fit

A Perfect Fit: How Lena “Lane” Bryant Changed the Shape of Fashion by Mara Rockliff

by 2 Comments

Growing up I looked at my mother’s Lane Bryant catalog and think, “What a bunch of old lady clothes.” (I do not believe I had hit double numbers yet.) As I got older, I learned to appreciate the fact that it was hard for plus sized women to find clothing. Any kind of clothing, let alone nice and … [Read more]

Kittens and cute

Kitten Construction Company: Meet the House Kittens by John Patrick Green

by Leave a Comment

I had read the book Kitten Construction Company: Meet the House Kittens by John Patrick Green in the "picture book" format and like this smaller "novel" format better. It helps it to be geared towards the age it is meant for (at least 6 and up, but younger can be read to). The larger picture book … [Read more]

Norma and Belly V01 Donut Feed the Squirrels has a second installment with Apple of My Pie. Ad when I finally got my hands on this early/easy reader I was most happy as the first book was a tasty treat. (Now I need wait until August 2022 for Pizza My Heart). Mika Song’s cute squirrels are back … [Read more]
