Book Mail For My Grandson: Animal Rescue Friends: Friends Fur-ever by Jana Tropper @JanaWritesComix

Last December, I read Animal Rescue Friends: Friends Fur-ever by Jana Tropper with my grandson. It is a graphic novel and he really enjoyed it. See my post here with my review and his thoughts. The author, Jana Tropper reached out and offered to send him a copy of the book as we read the ebook addition. To make a long story short, I was finally able to give him his book yesterday. He was thrilled and got out of the pool to read it. He is taking it to school on Monday to show his teacher, especially the signature and comment just to him! Thanks Jana for doing this, it made his day.

Audiobook Reviews: In The Lives of Puppets, You Should Have Known, & Lily and the Octopus #BookReview #Audiobook @DreamscapeMedia @MacmillanAudio

Listening to many audiobooks, I have been enjoying many outdoor tasks and activities. Unfortunately, that means I don’t always get my reviews posted in a timely manner. Below are three reviews for some very different, yet very enjoyable audiobooks.

Indigenous Stories: Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley, Sisters of the Lost Nation by Nick Medina #BookReview #Audiobook #OwnVoices

Since the scandals broke about the bodies found at residential schools, I have been trying to read more books by indigenous authors and books about their culture, beliefs and non-fiction stories from survivors. These two books are about the the lives of the indigenous people now, specifically dealing with the many missing and dead women as well as trying to get back artifacts that belong to their people. Scroll down for my reviews.

#20BooksOfSummer2023 Reviews: Mermaid Beach, Meet Me at the Lake, & Sweet Pea Summer #BookReview #Audiobook

When I set my 20 Books of Summer, I used ten backlist books, 10 newer releases and about 15 other books sat in the wings as possibilities. All of them are summer titles, covers or stories. I have read three so far, but only 1 is on the actual list, the other 2 were on the reserve list. Oh well, they were all good ones.
