Book 2 for #turnthepage and book 56 for the year.

Interesting characters who work well together. The mystery was clever but not altogether satisfying. Can‘t really say more without spoiling.

And of course, the dog. He‘s not a magic dog with crime fighting superpowers, but he‘s a solid member of the team who makes his own contributions.

For #hyggehourreadathon tonight I‘m starting one of next month‘s book club selections. This way I can return it to the library when I get home and make room for all the other stuff I want to do and read in October.

I enjoyed watching the neighbor's dog playing this morning. Missed my photo opportunity, so this is a web photo.

A quibble - this is listed as 0.6 in the Spirit Animals series, but it‘s really more of a prequel to the sequel series (Spirit Animals: Fall of the Beasts). It does its job setting up the new series/bridging the original and sequel series by introducing the new characters, but each of the short stories basically follows the same arc.

June #SeriesLove2025

Two books read in ongoing series. Stephanie Plum is always a good escapist read for me. It‘s the same story over and over but there is comfort in that. Ruby was a much better book in this series than Bob‘s book. Of course Ivan‘s story is still the best. One more book to go and I‘ll be finished with The One and Only series.

IMASLOWREADER loved the one and only ruby 4mo
mrp27 @IMASLOWREADER it was so sweet and so much better than Bobs book. 3mo

Doing much better now. 🤍

If I hadn‘t left
you when I did, I‘d still be lost —
alone in the snow.

A collection of prequel short stories for the Spirit Animals series. I thought the story about the creation of the bile was good as well as the last story about the council of Great Beasts were especially good at further fleshing out the world. Overall, I don‘t think they were the most memorable, though.

Big thumbs up from the 9 year old as we continue through the series. Things we learned: elephants are now growing shorter tusks due to years of poaching (which is sad but cool how biology works as a way to try & protect the species). In the author‘s notes she gave some good resources: Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (oldest elephant sanctuary) & Elephant Voices website has elephant ethograms where you can learn all about elephant behaviors. She also

ncsufoxes reminded people to stay away from side of the road places offering elephant rides. If you want to see elephants or other wildlife go through ecotourism programs that allow people to see nature while protecting it. 6mo
