Two Dogs and a Book

The Ghosts of Paris  by  Tara Moss My rating:  4 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! THE GHOSTS OF PARIS is the second book in the Billie Walker Mystery Series by Tara Moss. In this book we discover more about Australian P.I. Billie Walker and her assistant Samuel Baker. They are hired to find a woman’s missing husband who was last seen in Paris. Going back to Europe will not be easy for Billie as she too lost her husband; presumably killed in the Warsaw Uprising of 1943. But was he? When Billie meets an old friend, she is told that he might be in Paris… alive. Now she must solve two mysteries while being targeted by Nazi sympathizers because of an incident that happened in the first book. This story is full of action, romance, and heartbreaks. The post WWII setting is awesome and offers the readers a view of the post war recovery. This series is marvelous, and I recommend you read the first book before this one, although it can be read as a stand alone too. #bookstadog #po...

The Woman in the Library  by  Sulari Gentill My rating:  2 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! THE WOMAN IN THE LIBRARY by Sulari Gentill synopsis had me at “four strangers, a library, a murder”. I enjoyed the great cast of characters and the "who done it" twist. I was however confused at the beginning of the story because I did not see that this was a story within a story. After the first 50 pages, I put the book down. Since I rarely “do not” finish a book, I waited two days and picked it up again to finish it. The story made sense after that, but it failed to deliver the game of Clue feel I was expecting. The ending was too open and left me with a lot of questions. You might like it better than I did and that’s ok since no one read the same book the same way. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinsta...

Breaking Point  by  Alex Flinn My rating:  3 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! BREAKING POINT by Alex Flinn was a difficult read about an angst teenager who is willing to do the unthinkable to gain the friendship of a popular boy at his new school. The story is well written and leads the reader on a journey of trouble, anger, and destruction. This book has a Columbine feel and will make you realise how fragile is the mental health of a teenager when it is manipulated by peer pressure and the desire to fit in. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #breakingpoint #alexflinn #harperteen #harpercollinsca #booksofhcc #bookreview View all my reviews

Every Summer After  by  Carley Fortune My rating:  5 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! OMG!!! EVERY SUMMER AFTER by Carley Fortune knocked me off my feet. This is such a good book. First, this wonderful story was created by a Canadian author about Canadian characters in a Canadian setting. Second, the story is so beautiful and well written. I read it in one sitting. Third, the ending is just perfect and brought closure to this extraordinary story. I am so glad I read this book. It is the right mix of drama, love, and happiness. Please do yourself a favour and pick up a copy; not because it is Canadian (you know I am biased when it comes to Canada) but because it is a perfect love story that will melt your heart. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #c...

Dreaming of Flight  by  Catherine Ryan Hyde My rating:  5 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! I am a huge fan of Catherine Ryan Hyde’s writing. Her books are simply beautiful and full of emotions. DREAMING OF FLIGHT is no exception. The friendship between an 11-year-old Stewart Little (being named like the mouse plays a big part in the story) and elderly woman named Marilyn is heartwarming and poignant. Stewie’s willingness to help Marilyn is sensational. His love for his hens is remarkable. The ending is sad and sweet at the same time, and you are left with a smile on your lips. If you love feel-good stories about intergenerational relationships, I encourage you to pick up a copy of this book. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #...

Lessons in Chemistry  by  Bonnie Garmus My rating:  5 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY by Bonnie Garmus lived up to its IG hype. I love the characters and the story. I love the strong woman message and the positivity of this book. As I was reading the book, I came to expect a direction and the author often surprised me with a different plot. Some scenes were difficult to read and can be a trigger for some readers. After reading this book, I want to be Elizabeth Zott when I grow up. Her personality, her intelligence and her wit are awesome. I also adore her brilliant dog, Six-Thirty. This is definitely one of my favourite reads this year so far. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity...

Skandar and the Unicorn Thief  by  A.F. Steadman My rating:  4 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! SKANDAR AND THE UNICORN THIEF by A.F. Steadman lived up to the hype! It is an exciting and well written book. It is a great start to this new series. The characters are fun and nicely developed. The story comes with lots of action and a twist that will pull to your heart. I love the bond between humans and elements yielding unicorns; can’t go wrong with that.
