Book Review: A Wolf Called Wander by Rosanne Perry



A Wolf Called Wander by Rosanne Perry
Book 1 in the Voice in the Wilderness Series
but can be read as a standalone
🌟🌟🌟🌟
4 Stars

This middle grade is a beautifully written and deeply immersive survival story, following Swift, a young wolf, on his 1,000-mile journey through the wild after getting lost from his family pack. The book does a great job capturing the dangers and wonders of nature, from forest fires to hunters, and Swift’s resilience makes for an inspiring read. The fact that it’s based on a true story adds more depth.

I don't always connect with animal POVs but I really enjoyed Whale of the Wild by this author and wanted to try this one next! I think she does a great job pulling you in and making you feel like you are right there with the animal along the journey and what it might feel like in the animal's thoughts if you could see it.

This is a fantastic read for anyone who loves animal stories, survival adventures, or beautifully descriptive writing. 

I think my little boy would love this one day.

Book Review: Lending a Paw by Laurie Cass

  Lending a Paw by Laurie Cass - 4 Stars  Book 1 in A Bookmobile Cat Mystery Series This was a fun introduction to a new cozy mystery series with a cute cat sleuth helping along the way! With the help of her rescue cat, Eddie, librarian Minnie Hamilton is driving a bookmobile in the resort town of Chilson, Michigan. Things happen she least expects when Eddie runs off and finds the body of a local man in town..... Minnie is ready to let the police solve the case but Eddie seems to smell a rat! Together they work to find the killer.  This was a really fun one to read while I was recovering from having surgery this last week! :) As a gift from my friend Tammy, I am so glad I read it! (And that I had my kitty Simba right there with me while I read it was a cute bonus!) Eddie is a stubborn kitty and I LOVED THAT! He kept on pushing the limits to help Minnie out. :)  A bookmobile is also a unique thing to find in books that I absolutely loved. I am looking forward to more ...

Book Review: The Queen's Cook by Tessa Afshar

Image
  The Queen's Cook by Tessa Afshar - 5 Stars  I have said it before and I will say it again, Tessa is the master of biblical fiction! I loved this story of Roxannah, the daughter of a once-privileged but now impoverished Persian lord, working in Queen Esther's kitchens. In this story, we see her determined to support her mother and repay her father's debts - she seeks out Adin to help her find work. Adin sees the need and secures her a position in the royal kitchens of Queen Esther.  Guided by Esther's grace and wisdom, she finds herself navigating prejudice and palace politics and deepening her bond with Adin along the way. As Roxanna goes up in the kitchen ranks, she and Adin uncover a plot targeting Amestris, the king's most powerful wife and Queen's archenemy. This sets things in motion from here in the plot.  This book has a rich historical setting of ancient Persia - very vibrant and immersive. Also, the culinary details in this were - chef's kiss! I l...
