April 1, 2026 by cheerbrarian Leave a Comment

I often make mystery comparisons to one of the greats, Angela Lansbury's Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote. But it's not a comparison I make lightly, because that show and character brings me ALL the joy, and so does this book. So, this is Jessica Fletcher, if she was a 60 year old Chinese tea … [Read more]

Although she is, in fact, the heroine of a novel, the fact is that Ms. Emma Lion, of The Unselected Journals of Emma M.Lion, Vol 1-5, feels like flesh & blood, throughout every moment & page of these books.  Everything she goes through, even the most absurd, has an aura of authenticity that … [Read more]

First Bunnies Know and Grow (Baby Animals) by Laura Gehl and Amy Schimler-Safford

Puppies Know and Grow by Laura Gehl and Amy Schimler-Safford

March 31, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I like animals. I like books. And I like books about animals. This is mostly because while I like animals, I do not have the time to take care of them, so reading is the next best thing. And when it comes to books, I like introducing them to young listeners and readers, such as the publisher … [Read more]
