Mimi Lee Gets a Clue by Jennifer J. Chow

Mimi Lee Gets a Clue by Jennifer J. Chow is the first book in her Sassy Cat Mystery series. As a big fan of cozy mysteries and cute animals, the adorable illustrated cover sold me instantly. Mimi opens a grooming shop called Hollywoof. She hopes to cater to the dog clientele of Los Angeles. Even though it’s clear that Mimi prefers dogs, her sister gives her a fluffy white cat. He is aptly named Marshmallow. Quite soon, Mimi starts hearing Marshmallow talk. She thinks she […]

Stray Dogs: Dog Days by Tony Fleeces

August 1, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Stray Dogs: Dog Days by Tony Fleeces is a standalone story, but it would help to read the first book. This is the story of the dogs from the first graphic novel and how their side of things plays (or really does not play) out. These are the fill-ins of possible questions you might have had. Spoiler: these are the beloved pets of the woman that were killed in the first graphic novel, but it is also a psychological thriller. These short stories are how […]

A cozy mystery with cute dogs and a bookstore.

CBR Bingo Square: Cozy I love cozy mysteries anyway I can get ’em. I love to delve into book series as much as I like to marathon Hallmark Murder Mysteries. I grew up on Murder, She Wrote. I still ask my mom what episode she is watching if we’re talking on the phone while she watches. And even better, I get to learn about fun shows at work when we promote Acorn TV. The Plot Is Murder by V.M. Burns kicks off her Mystery Bookshop […]

There is a pitbull named Pumpkin therefore I liked this book

Rescue Me by Lauren Connolly

I’m a big fan of Lauren Connolly’s more recent work, but when I realized this one had a pitbull as a side character? I jumped on it! Much like the dog, this book is sweetly heartwarming while also packing a bit of muscley punch. “I’m sure I can get this right. Pumpkin is meant to be mine, and I’m meant to be hers. We’ll figure out things together.” Dash started working with animals while he was still in jail, and now that’s out on parole, […]

Sing those Yellow Dog Blues

Yellow Dog Blues by Alice Faye Duncan

July 1, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

You just have to read this book to understand what is going on in this book. I can summarize that it is about a young boy looking for his dog and all the crazy, wonderful things that happen along the way. This is a “boogie-woogie” journey (according to the publisher description). Alice Faye Duncan and Chris Raschka made Yellow Dog Blues just plan a pleasant book, funny, and terribly charming. The publisher description also has this: With swinging free verse and stunning hand-stitched art, Yellow […]
