Postcards from the Edge by Carrie Fisher is the book for August 2021. Which makes me take on the very obvious route of epistolary books. Not my favorite format, but here’s the list for six books on red letter days.
It’s time for The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge, hosted by Long and Short Reviews. The topic for August 4, 2021 is Meet My Pets.
It’s a lifelong desire for me to bring home a pet dog. Perhaps some day I shall! So, I have no images to share for now, but I do have some fabulous links about pets that steal the show.
First, look up the YouTube channel by MochaMilk. This YouTuber has two wonderful dogs, though I’m partial towards the Samoyed named Wooyoo (meaning milk in Korean). I just adore this dog, and the videos are always shot so well.
Another YouTube channel is Life with Malamutes. They are giant fuzzballs, so close to their wolfish ancestors. I love Phil the most, and here’s a video of them doing some food-tasting.
I’d recommend the movie Hachiko, on the off chance that you’ve not seen it. It’s a moving tale about a dog that waited for his best friend, years after even his family had moved on. The dog here is the Japanese Akita, and he’s beautiful.
For fictional animal sidekicks, I have a full post here. There’s no scarcity of those in my life, thankfully.
Who are your pets? Let’s go meet them!

Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss is the book for July 2021. This nonfiction modern classic “combines boisterous history with grammar how-to’s to show how important punctuation is in our world—period”. Let’s take a look at all the books on mannerisms that Eats, Shoots & Leaves reminded me of.
Foxes and Fairy Tales is hosting another very cool reading challenge in July 2021: TrekAThon Round 1.

The sign-up post is here, and here’s a rundown of the books I hope to read.
It’s time for The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge, hosted by Long and Short Reviews. The topic for June 23 is Saddest Book(s) I’ve Ever Read. So here we are, talking about a few tearjerkers.
Look, don’t judge me. Crying can have an emotionally cathartic effect. I mean, all those tragedies were created for a reason!
Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl. Every Tuesday, you pick ten books on that week’s topic. This week, a very interesting theme: Books I Loved that Made Me Want More Books Like Them. So here we are, talking about some kitsune lore.
Once upon a time, I used to be obsessed with this trope — all thanks to the gorgeous Japanese anime show Kamisama Hajimemashita (lit: I Became a God), based on a manga of the same name. Unfortunately, while werewolves and dragons are all too common, the sly Fox doesn’t get much mention.
I’m cheating here because I am taking these from an older post, but it’s such a fun topic!
