#catsordogs #ReadingResolutions For me ,cats and dogs. Though those who look at my posts see cats.I don‘t currently have a dog but maybe I will again someday.Now,I enjoy being an auntie to my friends dogs.Wanted to show off the dog lamp! Tagged book I loved , love Auster.Other title ,still on my TBR mountain .
My favorite book thus far in 2018. It is the story of Mr. Bones, a mutt, and his master, Willy G. Christmas. He is a troubled homeless poet, in and out of his mother's home. Mr. Bones is his constant companion. His mom dies. On his last legs, Willy and his dog travel to Baltimore, where we hope his high school English teacher still lives. He wants to give her his life's work and his dog a place to call home. Thanks @Liberty #thewallsareclosingin

Read it last year and enjoyed it.His master Willie,is ill ,homeless,and Mr. Bones worries he won‘t be able to see him in the afterlife.Willie want to journey from Brooklyn to Baltimore to find his companion a new home.
#dogdays #AndItsAugust Two dog novels from my stacks . Just read Timbuktu, told from dogs point of view,liked it .Dog On It on the TNR , first in a series .🐶
A mentally ill homeless man is dying and his dog (Mr. Bones) needs a new human. Never would have read a book about a dog if it was written by anyone but Auster. Mr. Bones is not a husky...they just make my Canadian heart happy.
I've wanted to read this since I heard it mentioned in a Fionn Regan song a few years back. The story is told from the perspective of a dog called Mr. Bones 🐶 #unusualnarrators #anditsaugust
I ❤ this book cover. I also ❤ this story. #marchintoreading @RealLifeReading
"Good begets good; evil begets evil; and even if the good you give is met by evil, you have no choice but to go on giving better than you get. Otherwise-and these were Willy's exact words-why bother to go on living?"
Spent part of my Labor Day rereading this favorite from Paul Auster. I'm a sucker for any story about a dog, and this one is a great one.
